Marc Jacobs F/W 09 Collection
This collection definitely displays forward thinking. It was definitely designed at the hands of what any sane person would consider a mad man. The pieces do not come together to work as one cohesive unit, at times they actually seem to clash and contradict each other. This collection has Marc Jacobs name written all over it. He didn't get to being the King of New York by following guidelines set in place by his predecessors. He isn't Marc Jacobs because he does something that you can predict, expect or are even ready for. He didn't get to where he is by playing it safe so for those same reason's I appreciate this collection. Usually when designers get as big as him they get comfortable with their position and abandon what it was that got them into that position in the first place. Here we see a season veteran still playing as hard as he did in his rookie year. Honestly I can't make head or tail of this collection as a whole but the pieces individually are incredible. You don't have to completely understand something to appreciate it besides the best things of the world take a couple years before people actually "get it".
