Marc +Marilyn = Fashion Ecstasy

The Marc Jacobs show left me awestruck today. I’ve been feeling a bit jaded about taking in fashion from my computer screen, but MJ breath new life into this fashion lover! The Fall-Winter 2011-2012 collection was incredible from start to finish. Suffused with polka dots, but tempered with strict, ’40s-inspired tailoring. There were the expected maroons and shin-length skirts but Jacobs has a way of taking a predictable trend and making it look absolutely fresh. And then there was the music… swoon. Couldn’t have picked a better choice: Marilyn Manson’s “Beautiful People” was and awesome, kick-ass, mesmerizing foil to the ultra femininity of the collection. Per.fec.tion.
