New York
Marc’s Pyjama Party
Marc Jacobs, creative director of Louis Vuitton, Marc by Marc Jacobs and his own line Marc Jacobs, always knows how to draw attention to himself. And he did at always during different fashion weeks. First in New York, Jacobs presented Marc by Marc Jacobs, and ran out at the end of the show in blue/green pyjama and white sneakers. At Marc Jacobs, he had a more elegant pyjama- violet/brown from jacquard. And on the top of all, after Louis Vuitton in Paris, Marc wore a specially made pyjama with the recent LV menswear collection print.
Why is Marc wearing them? There is no real answer, only he knows why. But I’ve got hypothesis that because all the collection he designed had something “pyjama” in them- at MJ very elegant and stylish; at LV more boudoir and vintage- Marc Jacobs wanted to show with all his body, that he feels the pyjama v
Vika Gazinskaya and Marc Jacobs: The Furry Friends
The 2013/14 season is really full of fur! After Altuzarra and Alexander Wang who showed their fur gloves (these are gonna be a real must have!) and coats, Donna Karan and Jason Wu had their beautiful fur scarves, and the best of all who really challanged the fur trend was Marc Jacobs! In his romantic collection he shown amazing furry scarves but with real foxy faces and tails! 
But then, few days later, Buro 24/7, a really good fashion site by Miraslava Duma, took us behind the scenes of Vika Gazinskaya show that will soon come in Paris. Vika Gazinskaya really messed up this year, she is available on colette and soon on net-a-porter.com. So coming back to the topic, Vika showed her collection and it was full of… scarves with foxy faces, but in a eco way! She says that it’s idea of respect for the animal but in a fashionable way! “I believe that fashion can make not only the skins of dead animals, but their clever imitation” and this is what she said in her interview. And I can’t say it’s copying Marc Jacobs or something- both ideas looking the same but still, have different message.
Mature Chic. Proenza Schouler AW13
Proenza Schouler is getting with every season even more mature and better! When the opening model of the show was Sasha Pivovarova, that is that is doing her big comeback, I thought that this will be good! And it was! The collection was very minimalistic, kept in black, white and neutrals. It was easy and classy. The ultra cool tailored jackets look really casual and perfect for a windy weather. And these ski like leather gloves look like lots of fun!
There was a comeback of asian inspired kimono dresses with straight peplums! The crepe dress in beige with some subtel dots was also a big highlight of the show. And I loved the serie of two models in sweatshirts that were presented on skirts or dresses made out of something looking like feathers! That was kind of parodoxal! A street chic mixed up with mature elegance. The shoes of the collection were incredible because they were just simple. A small fragile leather ribbon on a minimalistic high heel with stretch in the middle.
Now that’s a real bye bye time NYC. And we will meet in Milan (or in London, I am always forgetting!) 😃
Love Affair. Marc Jacobs AW13
Marc Jacobs fall was a melancholic and beautiful love affair. It was inspired with The Film Noir and it was dipped like in a opium perfume. It was lady like and very sexual, delicate but with power. It was glamorous and sensual and it was totally taken out from iconic imagery of Lauren Bacall in her 1940’s finest. Luxury mink stoles, silk pajama’s like tops, pencil skirts, silky trousers, clingy knits, overcoats and wide lapels and T Strap heels (that are toatally in fashion this season) were presented.
The setting was also glamour and romantic. The moonlight and a dark, musky atmosphere… It was like the models came out from ultra luxury club, still have a scent of Yves Saint Laurent Opium perfume.
That was a really amazing ending of New York fashion week. All the collections that I wrote about were so unique and creative- however I should say mostly everything was very classical (the only collections that I didn’t like was Michael Kors. Donna Karan, Calvin Klein, Oscar de la Renta in collab with John Galianno that was too heavy and artificial as for the master of femine master and other designers like Ralph Lauren were also poor for me). And now, readers we are going to… Milan!
