Fashion || Marc Jacobs Spring 2011 Runway: 70s Glam

My Tweet said it all:

"@MarcJacobsInt is having a fabulous showing on their Spring 2011 Runway!!

70s glam has made an undeniable return. *Applause* #NYFW"

Just when we thought we couldn't adore Marc Jacobs more than we already do,

His signature collection was to-die-for. It's the Nineteen Seventies resuscitation that is much needed in a consumer world oversaturated with 80s-inspired duds.

With the decade also comes the attitude, our deepest desire for progress nouveau, activism, and eccentric tailoring.

I spy: Satin suits. Wide leg pants. Oversized glasses. Floppy hats. Jumpsuits & body suits. High waistline; Big hair; Obi belts; Oversized three-dimensional floral appliqués; Tent dresses with ruffles.

Ironically I'm wearing my biggest and baddest Afro to date.

Thank you to The Cut Blog for capturing THIS Moment: Marc Jacobs and Grace Coddington.

Fashion || Ode to the 80s: Marc Jacobs Fall 2009

We are in a familiar place economically.
Times likes these draw back direct references to the Reagan Years from an economic and creative stand-point.
For Marc Jacobs, this meant a return to "the good old days" of getting dressed up in the New York.
New Wave glam is far from gone as Jacobs delivered "a neon-hued, big-shouldered,
crimpy-haired eighties antidote to the gloom and doom of 2009"
