I can have a fourth, right? There are too many to choose from to even limit one’s favorites to four. But, I must have such restraint.
Marc Jacobs Spring 2011 line was a throwback to the 70’s in a big way. Color, drama, and draping cinched silhouettes. Although wearability was not take away of the collection, the mix of proportions was expressive, from undersized hot pants to long jackets, and wide-legged trousers; the collection was full of flavor. And the colors—fuscias, golds, browns, red, and wines! The colors weren’t the typical spring mix, which suited the pieces well. The colors had a richness that met the the designs toe to toe. Jacobs commented on the collection, “A wide range of references informed the collection…from the NY Dolls to Antonio Lopez to Calvin Klein, these were things that made me fall in love with fashion when I was growing up. It's all part of the fabric of who I am." Many commentators described much of the fabric choices and designs as Missoni-inspired, which I found fitting. Missoni—the Italian family design house, is known for its knits, warm colors, and zig-zag prints.
