I think it’s a growing opinion game….if the critics hate it, I love it and vice-versa. Movies, books, letters, restaurants. fashion shows…the list goes on. Fashion Month always proves this theory to many top shows. While I appreciate the opinion God’s, Horyn and Phelps, something is to be said for my own. Maybe since I’ve turned 30, I have learned to trust what my opinion is and not what the jury is out to verdict on. So what if it’s not the popular opinion? What if it is out of left field? What if they think you’re out to lunch? What if? Fashion is a personal art form anyhow. It’s your expression. While I may not fancy tropical prints or crazy stripes…It’s still relevant to someone. (It’s Line Adoption week at the office…maybe I’m being uber sensitive.)

Let’s take Mr. Marc Jacobs…season after season, that man delivers. Creative genius is an understatement. So when the reviews came pouring out that it lacked, “newness” and “depth,” I quickly came to his defense. Let’s be honest, I never read a review before I look at the show. I feel like it would cloud my own. Cathy Horyn mentioned that, ” Unfortunately, a lot of the shapes looked, as Mr. Jacobs indicated, like they had been around the block a few times. ” For one, the surface treatments looked new and had more fluid movement that those that were presented for Fall. The color palette? Optimistic and blended with others on the spectrum. New textures and in shapes that brought an ease into wearing them. Nicole Phelps argued that, “This definitely wasn’t one of those Marc collections that sends his fans into a tizzy about all there is to wear in their real lives, nor was it as thought-provoking as his bravura performances have been in the past.” I disagree! I had a shopping list a page long for his collection…and I despise color in my own closet. Neutrals are just fine thankyouverymuch!

Regardless of the reviews, there is no arguing that Mr. MJ makes NY fashion, American fashion, what it is today. Without Marc, fashion week would be a very sad state of affairs. Here’s hoping you take the lead for Dior as well. We heart you!

Here’s what one of his loyal fans went into a tizzy about…

neutrals always popular...but hello that jacket? the fringe? the shine?

pretty pretty skirt, stitchy sweater, boyfriend button-up?

the dimension of the fabric in the jacket? stunning. accessories? whole other level.

reminds me of a mermaid sitting in the sand and under the sun.

does this remind anyone else of Prada?

neutrals at a party? oh yes.

what i want to wear everyday!

Until tomorrow,

xoxo
