Fall 2011: Marc Jacobs

Marc Jacobs is truly a trendsetter. His latest collection touts textured skirts and dresses constructed out of liquid-looking, metallic latex that hearkens back to sequined fabrics popular during the 70's. Nicole Phelps' review of the collection made the point that "With all that plastic�not to mention the taut chin straps attached to Stephen Jones' vinyl berets, and Marilyn Manson screaming about 'The Beautiful People' on the soundtrack�it was tempting to think Jacobs was making a comment about our contemporary fixation on self-betterment."


Besides the novelty of plastic, polka dots were rampant as well. Polka dot tights, jackets, tops and bags. A number of skirts were adorned with circular plastic cabochons. Jacobs also featured fitted, severe silhouettes � don't expect the easy, loose shapes of many designers' Spring 2011 collections.


I love the colors in this collection. They are rich, but not overly perky: crimson, teal, navy, and a lighter Balenciaga blue � think Gisele's vest in Ghesquiere's Spring 2011 campaign. 

Take a look at the rest of the collection HERE.

Merry Christmas To Me + Freaks and Geeks

Do you recognize this? Look to the sidebar on your right.

Kitteh!

Also I've been re-watching a ridiculous amount of Freaks and Geeks lately. It is such a good show. I don't understand why anyone would bother canceling a show that features Seth Rogen and James Franco. It's like Pineapple Express except with a completely different plot line and set in high school and like 10 times cooler. Also Freaks and Geeks came first. Plus its soundtrack is comprised of Cheap Trick and Janis Joplin which earns major points.

I hope you are all having a very merry Christmas.

P.S. I caved and ended up purchasing "We R Who We R." I also bought "Trouble Is A Friend" from the Easy A soundtrack.
