Day 5 was a boring day in my opinion, at the exception of the big show performed by Marc Jacobs. Everyone from Anna Wintour to Carine Roitfeld, and Lady Gaga to Madonna was attending his fashion show and no one was disappointed.
For his Spring 2010 collection, Marc Jacobs beats the entire, now “conventional”, 80’s trend. Bye bye black, shoulder-pads and studs and hello to Japan. His line took the direction of Japan with Geisha-inspired makeup, ruffles and lots of inspiration from fellow Japanese designers like Rei Kawakubo and Junya Watanabe. I like the anti-conformism of the outfits with exotic and the eccentricity. Ruffles and pearls, bold lame dresses and sequin, raincoat belted high above the waist and military jackets are all just so brilliantly designed.
While Marc Jacobs was going against the 80’s trend, Jill Stuart went directly in the core of it. Sexy and daring are the two words that come to my mind. Tight dresses, metal mesh, studded, over the top shoulder-pads and Roman-inspired jerseys. A collection of very eclectic items that will attract the attention in the streets.
