Designer: Marc Jacobs
Season: Spring/Summer 2011
By Michael Kowalinski
Is it a cliché to call Marc Jacobs the arbiter of cool? Yes, perhaps, but we don’t mind, because he has done it again, this time in a subdued, but no less effective, way. Admittedly, we can’t help ourselves, and even though the number of offerings was small it made sense as the collection could be called the very definition of restraint.
Black narrow fitting suiting with cropped pants were shown alongside flashes of army green, in a jacket with epaulettes and cargo pants. A leather short-sleeved shirt that zipped up the front made a cameo that is at the top of our lists.
Was this Jacobs’ way of getting back to the basics? “Restraint” and “effective” are our words to live by once again.
