Fashion 101: Marc Jacobs S/S 2011 on Preview June 2011
I was just going through StyleBible.ph when I saw Preview’s cover for June 2011 featuring Temptation Island stars. I’ve done my Marc Jacobs homework so I was able to tell that the cover girls were wearing pieces from the S/S 2011 collection. Lucky girls! See the cover here. This issue is already out and according to my Facebook dash, there’s a fun editorial you should definitely look forward to. Hint: it doesn’t involve a woman, but it doesn’t mean he’s not ma-GANDA. ;)

Marc Jacobs: Then and Now
You must be living under a rock if you haven’t heard of Marc Jacobs. Creative director to French fashion house Louis Vuitton and head designer of his own line, this 47-year old American fashion designer has earned a spot in the fashion hall of fame and in our hearts. He was hired by Louis Vuitton in 1997 where he created the brand’s first ever RTW collection. In 2010, Jacobs continued to reveal his prowess was chosen as one of Time Magazine’s most influential people in the world.
It’s hard to box this guy’s collection in 4 images but it’s very easy to describe him— he’s a man with impeccable taste. His eye for color, texture and length are always elegant without being dull and tame. He makes use of unusual color palettes for his collections that always seem to work. In his Spring 2010 collection, navy blue, gray and beige surprisingly looked very fresh altogether— perfect for Spring! The volume and messy ruffles don’t look shabby; they were mildly and properly used. If I were to do a countdown of the best Spring 2010 RTW collections, Marc Jacobs would be the sure topnotcher.
In 2011, Marc Jacobs continued his reign as one of the highly-acclaimed Spring collections. He played with different berry colors exhibiting almost all trends set for the season— sheer, stripes and wide-legged trousers. Models came out with frizzy hair, glitter platforms and oversized corsages. As the collection progressed from one piece to the next, it was like a glowing sunset shifting between shades of pink, red, violet, and orange. It’s rather surprising that the RTW collection looked like a Resort collection with the sheerness of the fabrics but nevertheless, the collection was a beaut.
