You think it s mayhem at a Marc Jacobs fashion show? You should see the opening day of market at Marc by Marc Jacobs. The line s Soho showroom was positively mobbed with retailers during our informal appointment. To snatch a look at the clothes, we had to grab boned and quilted slipdresses and perforated leather minidresses off of buyers racks.
Resort is loosely inspired by a dancer s rehearsal wardrobe, so there were plenty of slouchy sweatshirts and draped tees to pair with leggings-tight pants, pajama bottoms, and the season s de rigueur tap shorts. Jacobs more tomboy-ish fans will latch onto a sharp black suit, crisp bib-front button-downs, and a sweet tuxedo-illusion camisole. Overall, the collection had a something-for-everyone vibe, which probably explains why those buyers can t keep their hands off it.
