Marc Jacobs and Louis Vuitton are celebrating the late Stephen Sprouse by reintroducing his line of handbags. Collection is set to hit with the launch of a dedication site, welovesprouse.com which will feature interviews with Debbie Harry, Candy Pratts Price and Patricia Fields, all friends of the late artist.

“It almost becomes a classic, like a Chanel jacket, or a smoking,” said Marc Jacobs of the artists use of graffiti and day-glo. “It’s this idea of a head-to-toe look in this brash, neon, rock ’n’ roll, edgy, street-informed style. Sprouse really best personified it.”

Before They Had Stylists: Marc Jacobs

Our friend Marc Jacobs went through some interesting phases style wise. He started off, as the pre-hipster trend, wearing thick framed glasses and adorable graphic tees and v-necks. Next came his preppy frat-boy phase, with a little snip snip of the hair, lewd phrased tees and baggy cargo shorts. Then Jacobs got in touch with his feminine side and starting sporting kilts every now and then. Finally, Jacobs has come to his senses and has been dressing in classic, perfectly tailored tuxedos and sporting the always trendy bow-tie. If you ask me, I like the old, dorky, long haired Marc best…let’s hope Marc by Marc will jump back to it’s roots sometime soon…I’ve had enough of the bright colored, label stamped frocks. 

Get Pregnant For Marc Jacobs!

If this isn’t a sign that pregnancy hasn’t been a hot trend this year, I don’t know what is. Marc Jacobs teamed up with Bugaboo baby accessories to create a few limited edition baby carriers. I think they are pretty cool. They almost make me want to go out and knock some unsuspecting victim, but I watched Knocked Up last night and have realized that I never want to deal with that crap. Sorry all you Corey groupies!

Thanks Selectism!

TrendSpark: Head Pieces

When I hear the phrase head gear, I think of the awful contraption I wore as an adolescent to realign my jaw. Thankfully, designers this season make head gear look much more fashionable than a rubber strap and two metal prongs. The Junya Watanabe, Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs and Nathan Jenden are a few runways that were full of outrageously daring head pieces. Some were simply adorned with feathers while others had structural objects towering a foot above the hairline. The trickle down effect has already come into play, and toned-down versions of these pieces can be found virtually anywhere. There are also the feathery accessories we’ve been seeing everywhere.  I know what I’m wearing out tonight, and it has nothing to do with straightening my teeth.

Missing The Marc

Never in a million years did I think the day where I would bash Marc Jacobs would come. Well, today much be revelation day because the time has come to speak my mind about some of Jacobs’ more recent pieces. I spent last weekend browsing the racks of uptown department stores, and let me tell you, the spring/fall collections from Marc by Marc are anything but fashionable. Above are just some of the pieces I gagged at when I saw them in stores. Honestly, what Marc Jacobs fan would wear a gawdy sweater covered in hearts, a sundress with his name plastered over it, a frock with metallic clubs or a puffy shouldered houndstooth dress? Really, I’m shocked, and not in a good way. What happened to the awesome blazers and denim pieces from the fall 2006 collection or the gorgeous fur and wool pieces from 2007? 

Whatever the case may be, I won’t be wasting my time in the Marc by Marc section of Bloomies unless this garbage is out of there. 

Thanks for the photos Bloomingdales!
