RUNWAY RUNDOWN: Marc By Marc Jacobs S/S 2010

Kirby Marzec, Managing Editor September 17 at 6:50 | Comments

It’s getting to the point where you don’t need to see the Marc By Marc Jacobs tag on anything anymore…you just know. The vibrant, sporty, mix matched and almost childish pieces practically scream Jacobs’ name. But even if this collection was totally independent of Jacobs’ previous work, there is enough of a similarity to make it repetitive and almost boring. Really, just look at Marc’s Fall 2007 collection…now look at this. The times may be ‘a changin’, but please, don’t skimp on the tasteful design we know you’re capable of!

RUNWAY RUNDOWN: Marc By Marc Jacobs Spring 2010 Collection fashion

I love some of the pieces that are in this collection, but as a whole I can’t say I’m head over heels for the whole thing. While some pieces do look well designed and “fashionable” some pieces look like anything I could get from a Salvation Army or thrift store for significantly cheaper prices. I know that this is what Marc is aiming for, but in an economy like this why make something that can be easily replaced by something cheaper at a different retailer?

I would love to hear what you think indies, I really want to hear your views on this one!

Marc Jacobs: Fall 2009 Footwear Collection

Corey Moran, Mens Editor May 27 at 9:28 | Comments

Marc Jacobs: Fall 2009 Footwear Collection fashion Oh Marc Jacobs! As soon as I think my affection for your amazing fashion wonders, you go a strike me at my strongest of obsessions with an amazing line; Shoes! The latest collection of Marc Jacobs and Marc by Marc Jacobs shoes are mind numbing. The Marc by Marc high tops are brightly colored and feature some great velcro straps. Not to be out done by the diffusion line, the Marc Jacobs boots are looking tip top this season. The mix of regular and suede leathers would have any shoe freak drooling.

PS. In what seems to be an attempt to not be one up-ed by Acne, it looks like Marc tested out some wedged styles too.

Marc By Marc Jacobs Swimwear Spring 2009

Kirby Marzec, Managing Editor April 20 at 4:12 | Comments

When you think about it, the term “swimwear” is really ambiguous. There is certainly a fine line between what one would swim in and what one would lounge around and sun bathe in. With style, mobility and price as main factors for bathing-suit buyers, it’s really hard to come across a suit that takes all three into consideration. Well, leave it up to Marc Jacobs to pay attention to all of the above with his newly released swimwear collection.

The swimwear collection resembles the Marc by Marc Jacobs clothing line, utilizing bright colors, youthful patterns, ruffles, bows, buckles and buttons. From the looks of it, the line looks mobile enough for a surfer but fashionable enough for a tanning queen. Although we don’t know prices yet, Marc by Marc Jacobs is a less expensive line and one would assume his swimwear will follow the same price-lines as the actual collection.

The Low-Down on Loehmann’s

Kirby Marzec, Managing Editor April 16 at 3:28 | Comments

Lord only knows how many times I passed by this store without the “hmm, maybe I should check this out” thought running through my head. After several designer budget-saver recommendations and a bit of fashion evidence from some friends, I decided to set my ego aside and pay a little visit to the Loehmann’s Chelsea location.

The first several visits left me unimpressed. The store was unorganized and crowded, wasting over 45 minutes of my life I was sure I’d never get back. Taking the wise advice of my mother, I gave the store a second chance, stopping in early on a Thursday (aka inventory day) just before February’s fashion week. Heading upstairs to “The Back Room,” the discounted designer label department, I was floored by how many great pieces there were by the fashion industry’s cream of the crop. $300 later, I walked out of Loehmann’s with over $2500 worth of Robert Rodriguez, Vince, Mint and Helmut Lang clothes and accessories. Happy girl? You bet.

After probably a two month hiatus from the discount haven, I stopped by Loehmann’s this morning, Although I only purchased some jewelry (I got a Burberry-esque spike bracelet and a match necklace for $40. Beat that.) I was amazed to see dozens upon dozens of pieces from the Marc by Marc Jacobs Spring 2008 collection. The clothes might be two seasons old, but where else are you going to find a Marc Jacobs Americana romper marked down to just $70!? Other great buys included gorgeous Givenchy boot-heels, Comme des Garcons drop-crotch sweats (too bad they were a size 14…), a plethora of springy Philosophy dresses and tons of chunky Miu Miu, Carmen Marc Valvo and Badgely Misckha sunglasses.

All in all, if you haven’t yet been to Loehmann’s, now is the time to check it out. But be forewarned, be there early on weekdays or be prepared to dig.

SPREAD UM: Leighton Meester for InStyle fashion

Leighton Meester has a hidden little editorial in the March 2009 issue of InStyle (Sandra Bullock cover).

She looks a little sleepy, but I like the styling – it’s springy but subdued, and full of Armani, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Fendi, Cavalli, and others.

SHOP: Marc Jacobs Satteen Dress, $119 fashion

List this amongst little black dresses with attitude. I love this look. It’s a mix of dom female with punk attitude. Call it an alternative to picking up a head to toe A.Wang look.

STYLING TIP: Take this dress, mix it up with a pair of killer black Doc Martens, a gray flopping knit hat, and some huge gold bangles and hoop earrings and you’ve got yourself a street ruler look that would get you snapped by any Satorialist you could imagine. You could also glam it up, throwing in a pair of sky high red stilletos, a tuxedo jacket with matching piping, and some slicked back hair with a side part and your comparable to any high fashionista.

Marc Jacobs can’t be human, because he doesn’t ever produce anything bad. The latest Marc By Marc Jacobs collection keeps his success streak alive with its great designs. I am a huge fan of the shoes first and foremost. I love the colors and patterns he uses, they are a nice change from all the black and greys we have been seeing dominating the runway.
