Marc Jacobs moves away from his previous year’s 80’s-inspired collection to a more subdued, conservative look for his diffusion line Marc by Marc Jacobs’ Fall 2010 collection. With an array of casual chromatic pieces, the fashion forward designer caters to stylish students at the same time maintaining his seat as the leading trendsetter. With the fashionable workaholics in mind, Jacobs put his mark on the ever-comfortable jersey material, versatile cottons, and even experiments with crochet thread for the Bronte Lace top which ended up as the most coveted piece by notable fashion magazine editors.
The most romantic piece amongst the “army surplus” garb stood out to balance the other-wise somber toned collection that included olive green twill shorts, black satin pants, and shadow grey wool sweaters. Editors also saluted the Reilly Heringbone set as commander of the military inspired collection seeing that it was perfect for the working woman. Overall, this well-received collection was commended for its versatility and “wearability” being that it presented a wide range of casual and formal items such as trousers, button downs, and outerwear. The structured silhouettes and geek chic vintage styles carry a certain “timelessness and enduring” quality that will be popular among today’s youthful urbanites.
Marc by Marc Jacobs is exclusively distributed in the Philippines by Stores Specialists Inc. (SSI), and is located at Greenbelt 5.
