The “must-have” models of the new season feature a variety of sophisticated tonal and glitter effects as well as unique iconic embellishments such as exotic enameled metal flowers. Also included are interesting frame silhouettes with colorful appeal which underscores the designer’s style.
The butterfly-shaped sunglasses, with playful enameled-metal flowers, bring together a recurring theme in the designer’s accessory lines. The flower embellishment that blossoms on the temples is highlighted by the glitter detail (mod. MJ 347/s). Color offerings include: white, black, gray, violet, brown and blue.
Retro elegance with ‘50s flair: This acetate sunglass with its butterfly shape and glitter effects is both seductive and precious. Color offerings include light brown, havana, gray, champagne, nude and black (mod. MJ 345/s).

Apparel
For Spring 2011, Marc By Marc Jacobs hits the runway in a multitude of bright colors, flowy fabrics, and updated neutrals, evoking the romance and youth of the 1970’s.Hemlines drop giving a billowing and glamorous air to dresses and skirts, while pants become higher-waisted, with a fuller leg.Blouses in silk and cotton poplin dominate, both paired with shorts or tucked into skirts. We bring it back to classic Marc By Marc Jacobs sportswear infusing the line with both bright pops of color, as well as updated neutrals of fog, sand, and cream. There is a light hearted quality to the collection illustrated through the layered application of light weight fabrics. The playful heritage of the brand is illuminated as we embark on our ten year anniversary at Marc By Marc Jacobs this spring season.
Accessories
1970s lady-like sophistication inspired us this season. Our new groups have more structured silhouettes in luxury materials — such as the Bianca Jane on a Chain and the Snake Chain Shop Girl. The vintage-inspired color palette has rich neutrals such as Caramel, Taupe and Black accented by pops of color. This refined aesthetic was furthered by new hardware pieces and subtle detailing.

Taking off from the travel cues of Banana Republic’s Spring/Summer Collection are key pieces that let its wearer discover and explore at ease. Inspired by shades of the sea and the lightness of watercolor paint, these new pieces are light, airy and perfect for the spring season.
The deep blue ocean inspires the navy color that is so important for the season as a new base. Denim dark rinse and saturated mélanges in yarns feel fresh for spring, and serve as a good base to splash the new watercolor ranges and lighter fabrications off. Ivory is the new white, as it plays geometrically against the blue with subtle nautical references of painted stripes, airy checks and whimsical prints. Draping like waves is the new feminine detail for a less constricted feel.
Thecolor for the season is washed by water like a palette of simple paints used by watercolor artists. The blending and blurred edges of the watercolor technique of painting feel approachable and natural while creating hundreds of sophisticated levels within a brushstroke. Nothing feels totally solid this season as the use of color feels painterly and uneven rather than solid. Print is not flat but feels manually treated as in hand decoration or wood-block technique.
