NY, I Love You: Marc Jacobs









Oh Marc, you've stolen my heart again with your gaudy, over-the-top, '80s clubbing-inspired runway collection last night at New York Fashion Week. Marc said that while designing this collection, he was "thinking about the good old days in New York, when getting dressed up was such a joy". He's definitely captured that joy in this collection! I love the colors - just because we're in a recession doesn't mean designers can only use black and white. It is so refreshing to see not just pops of color here and there, but an entire collection revolving around bright neons and shiny metallics. I can see many younger fashion-obsessed girls, like myself, saving paycheck after paycheck to be able to afford some of these pieces. And I definitely predict many of these looks filtering down to high street stores like Topshop and H&M (for those of us who may not be able to go a year eating only Ramen in order to afford that bright yellow cape below!). Check out the whole collection at Style, and a video of the show below - what do you think? Are you done with '80s-inspired looks, or do you think Marc has reinvisioned the decade in a fresh new way that is worthwhile?
