Marc Jacobs Spring 09

Marc Jacobs' shows are always shrouded by drama, whether it's because he's late or it's due to his front row celebrity guest there is always something special about his shows; which is probably why he opted not to hold the show in the tents at Bryant Park. In case you didn't already know Marc is the king of New York when your talking designers. He has a cult following and for good reason. Who else are the people going to turn to for an edgy twist on the American classics that they love? Marc Jacobs' never fails to send some looks down the runway that no one in the audience is ready for. Below you see some modern twist on the classic American woman being spiced up with the addition of colors. I definitely think that color can make or break a piece and in these looks below it appears that he has given the color scheme some thought because these looks work on so many different levels that its almost embarrassing to think about other designers that just cant seem to get the color scheme right. From the hats to the plaid shirts these looks are screaming early 20's but with the addition of accessories like: the clutch, the corset, the eye wear and the color he has really refreshed an American classic.
