Marc Jacobs - Women's Clothing and Accessories

The Grunge prophet was initiated to knitting and sewing by his grandmother, who he recognises as his biggest influence. He graduated from High School of Art and Parsons Paris School of Art and Design, where his collection of oversized handmade jumpers with bright pink smileys caught the attention of Robert Duffy, who became his business partner. He created a grunge collection for Perris Ellis, who then made him redundant despite being acclaimed by Vogue and The New York Times. In 1986 Marc Jacobs created his own label. What women want, they get, thanks to the innate flair of the multi awarded American designer.

Autumn/Winter 1009-10 Collection

Marc Jacobs’ inspiration was the beating heart of the eighties to the sound of punk rock. It was a time when New-Yorkers had fun, dared to wear fashion eccentricities and enjoyed life. The party girl wears outrageous make-up worthy of a Kiss and an impressive hair style held together with gel. This individual flair is a daring and canny alternative to expensive accessories.

Marc Jacobs’ dynamite this season is the introduction of bright colours to ignite the greys. Grey zip pocket cardigans on printed bright coloured leggings; mini dresses belted in bright colours; purple thigh-high boots and strong-shoulder coats in bright pink. The end of the show finished with bright coloured cocktail dresses.

In between Madonna and Cindy Lauper, Marc Jacobs summed up his inspiration "I like color and I was thinking about what an energy and creativity there was here in the city where I was born. People used to get dressed up and take hours to get ready to go out clubbing. I just wanted to celebrate that idea and that energy."
