Rekindling with Marc
For the past six months or so I've been in a one-sided, in-my-head (though still kind of aggressive) fight with Marc Jacobs. Thing is, he'd hurt me so much. First there was the two-hours-late show debacle, then came the Arena Homme Plus cover, and seriously, how could you forgive anyone who made these shoes? But last week, I saw his two pretty fabulous shows and I watched the great and at times even inspiring Marc Jacobs & Louis Vuitton documentary, and my position started to soften and shift. I suddenly remembered all the things I loved about MJ: the playful intensity, the cheeky details, the really feminine clothes. And it made me want to begin collecting some of his older designs—a goal that's excellently achieved on eBay.
There are more then 3,000 Marc Jacobs items on the site today; among them, I like this ladylike, pink-and-gray sweater, this unusual velvet-trim tulip skirt,
and this dainty little ruffled top.
his fall collection really depressed me! it looks like what would happen if the pmrc invaded danceteria. but he always does great things with louis vuitton, so who knows.
Ugh, I hate over priced clothing.
