A lot of pajama tops. And PANTS! Please? </p> <p>I do kinda like the hair. And I laughed at how the models are carrying their bags the way I do when I walk through certain parts of west Baltimore. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-anyone-see-the-marc-jacobs-show-last-night#post-850346 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 22:53:03 +0000 Suz 850346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ooh - I rocked a mullet, too, as a kid!! </p> <p>The hair was my favourite part, and some of the fabrics. And if someone were to offer me gown 48, I would not say no. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-anyone-see-the-marc-jacobs-show-last-night#post-850333 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 22:24:13 +0000 Lyrebirdgully 850333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreed Angie, there is not a lot here that says to me “try me, you or someone you know could look really good in this”. I do like looks #1, 3, 17 and 29; but then, it is hardly possible to go wrong with these all-time classic, tried-and-tested silhouettes. #33 and 37 are my faves for a low-key, but distinctly now, 2013 feel. The soft shiny metallic fabric in muted mid-colours does look gorgeous and is the best part of the show, and I do hope to see it in the shops in due course. The futon/bolster-size fur coats and capes in #38-41 are too hefty for my liking - and I so don’t get the point of #21- it just looks as if the designer was too lazy to style the knicker-shorts, or ran out of ideas. After all, a head-to-toe LOOK is what viewers are hoping to see, so I think a designer needs a Very Good Reason to send a model out half-dressed. Yet those knicker-style shorts are everywhere on the catwalks and have been for a while -- so it seems about a year too late to suddenly showcase them as if they are the Next New Thing.<br /> But I did love the hair. And were those actually mullets I could see ? Back in the day, I used to ROCK a mullet. Nostalgia is so irrational… can’t wait to see some of those great hairstyles of the seventies reinvented. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-anyone-see-the-marc-jacobs-show-last-night#post-850322 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 22:14:00 +0000 Diana 850322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What is with the lack of pants? Agree with you that it's way too pajama-ey for my taste. Plus there is too much fur for me, but I have poison eye for fur (real or fake). </p> <p>I really like #24 though, and the shiny materials are fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-anyone-see-the-marc-jacobs-show-last-night#post-850295 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 21:57:00 +0000 rachylou 850295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am OK with this collection. Perhaps excessively New Drab, but I think there are a lot of buyable, sellable pieces in it. Sellability has definitely been a problem for Marc Jacobs for quite a number of years now. In the Bay Area, he lost Neiman's and Nordstrom except for the token nod in SF. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-anyone-see-the-marc-jacobs-show-last-night#post-850294 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 21:56:57 +0000 deb 850294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura, I thought pajamas also. And I am not fond of all the shine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-anyone-see-the-marc-jacobs-show-last-night#post-850293 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 21:55:28 +0000 RoseandJoan 850293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did view it in the early hours of the morning Angie and my first impression was the snow storm had prevented all of the fabric arriving in time; what other excuse is there for presenting knickers as clothing for a fall and winter collection?</p> <p>ETA love, love, loved Proenza Schouler. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-anyone-see-the-marc-jacobs-show-last-night#post-850283 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 21:38:19 +0000 Caro in Oz 850283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loved the hair &amp; some of the coats; I do like the idea more than the execution. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-anyone-see-the-marc-jacobs-show-last-night#post-850236 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 20:24:44 +0000 Tina.b 850236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That was fun to browse through, thanks for posting the link Angie. I agree, I wasn't as captivated by his looks as in past years. I do love how luxe the fabrics are though. He is such an intriguing man, and an influential designer.</p> <p>I went through a MJ phase a couple years ago. Well specifically Marc by MJ, I only ever had one piece from his mainline. But I came to realize that the clothes never looked that great on me, so much better on the hanger. His emphasis on dramatic collar and sleeve shapes did my wide shoulders no favours. Still love him though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-anyone-see-the-marc-jacobs-show-last-night#post-850235 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 20:21:02 +0000 Anonymous 850235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not crazy about the pajama tops either, but love the shirt style metalic dresses and #24 inspires me to try a skirt I have with a vest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-anyone-see-the-marc-jacobs-show-last-night#post-850234 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 20:18:00 +0000 Jamie 850234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm. I see what you mean. I liked the tone-on-tone effects of many of the outfits, and some of the hand bags look interesting. The one in #2 caught my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-anyone-see-the-marc-jacobs-show-last-night#post-850233 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 20:13:10 +0000 Angie 850233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perhaps he was criticized, Claudia, and sales were down. But his Marc for Marc Jacobs collection is the wearable one - this collection can be OTT :)</p> <p>Laura, I wasn't feeling the robes and PJ tops either. </p> <p>I vote #56 best of the collection too. And perhaps we should make #21 the new YLF uniform. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-anyone-see-the-marc-jacobs-show-last-night#post-850227 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 20:04:13 +0000 Laura 850227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow. Maybe Marc Jacobs needs a nap, because all I'm seeing here is pajamas. Pajama tops, pajama bottoms, robe-like coats ... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-anyone-see-the-marc-jacobs-show-last-night#post-850216 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 19:45:52 +0000 Claudia 850216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Its way more minimalist than the past few years! Very wearable (except the sheer and nude numbers).</p> <p>Maybe he took all the criticism of being too over the top and theatrical to heart.</p> <p>I have to say that look #56 is my favorite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-anyone-see-the-marc-jacobs-show-last-night#post-850186 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 19:20:55 +0000 Angie 850186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here is the link:</p> <p><a href="http://www.style.com/fashionshows/review/F2013RTW-MJACOBS" rel="nofollow">http://www.style.com/fashionsh.....TW-MJACOBS</a></p> <p>It was NYFW's last and most prestigious show. I was disappointed because I LOVED MJ's last three Fall shows so much - and so my expectations were high. This year was a Retro Sci-fi Glam rendition in very soft colours. Lots of Pajama style tops too. Just not my cuppa. </p> <p>But I want to end on a positive note. I loved the '70s Klute - esque Punk hairdos, the longer hemlines, the shine and outfit simplicity :)</p> <p>Anyway, London FW has just started and I need to get back to the shows. </p>
