Natalie Massenet, Outside Marc Jacobs

Fashion editor turned entrepreneur Natalie Massenet curates a beautiful collection of clothes for Net-a-Porter, but she also understands what women need out of their wardrobes. Here she’s assembled a great outfit that took her all the way from a 10am fashion show to an 8pm show, and presumably the Marc Jacobs party afterwards. A simple black dress with pumps and a metallic belt go from work to play. The daytime look, after the jump.  (more…)

Military Jacket, One Day Without Shoes

Despite the no-shoes mandate, many of the volunteers at the recent One Day Without Shoes charity event still dressed quite fashionably. Military jackets continue to be a great transitional option each spring, a practical outer layer worn here with a Marc by Marc Jacobs bag and striped sailor top.

Navy Blue With Polka Dots, Outside Louis Vuitton

Elisa Nalin

Such a cute retro look, again in navy, with a below-the-knee pleated wool crepe skirt and jacket, accessorized with a white cap and navy envelope pouch at the belt. The polka dot blouse is also a nod to Louis Vuitton designer Marc Jacobs, who featured polka dots prominently in his namesake fall collection in New York.

Fall 2011 Runway, Marc by Marc Jacobs

Few fashion lines deliver as much high style for your buck as Marc by Marc Jacobs. The fall 2011 lineup featured ’70s colors like burnt sienna and flame orange, but the cuts were quite modern. Notably, there were almost no black clothes or accessories in the entire fall collection. (more…)

Red and White Colorblocked Dress, Outside Marc by Marc Jacobs

A colorblocked dress in red and white delivers a nice jolt of springtime color. Spring dresses are totally wearable right now if you layer them with tights and outerwear. The chunky gold necklace is the perfect finishing touch.

White Dress and Coat, Outside Marc Jacobs

Love the look of white for evening wear – so elegant and old Hollywood.

Last Show: Louis Vuitton SS2011

Alas, it’s always sad when Fashion Week ends, so I’ve been delaying this post for weeks. But on the last day in Paris, the Louis Vuitton show capped off the week, and a number of interesting models, celebs and fashion people made the scene.

A model leaves the show in a dramatic black fur cape, long black skirt and black felt hat. (more…)

Marc by Marc Jacobs SS2011

There’s a very practical reason to go to a Marc by Marc show: to see what we’ll all be wearing next season. Though the high-end designer shows are an interesting indication of where fashion is going, Marc by Marc Jacobs is a line that many people can actually afford. Thank God the designer doesn’t reserve all his ingenuity for his more expensive labels. Marc by Marc for spring included more ’70s silhouettes of his namesake label, infused with the bright colors of the early ’80s, hitting the sweet spot right between the two eras. Outside, many of the guests wore equally upbeat daywear.

Fabulously avant garde platform shoes. (more…)

Marc Jacobs SS2011

One of the biggest adrenaline rushes of New York Fashion Week is the Marc Jacobs show, even now that it’s mostly celebrity-free. This may be due to the fact that the designer is now mercilessly punctual after receiving complaints about show delays several seasons ago, starting the show at exactly 8pm no matter who hasn’t made it inside yet. The result can be a mad dash for the door in evening clothes.

Prescient in her attire: Marc Jacobs showed ’70s looks for spring in retro colors and long, louche silhouettes like this one. Start wrapping your mind around brown for spring now, because it’s been in several collections. (more…)

Marc Jacobs Show

Marc Jacobs has always been a master at creating fairy tales, so it seemed more than fitting that on the night of the Marc Jacobs show, snow began to fall as guests left the scene. The snow globe effect prolonged the magical feeling of the show itself, where “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” from Frederick Sanchez’s soundtrack set the stage for a dreamy collection.

A tweed menswear-style double breasted coat and satchel bag echoed the relatively conservative (for Marc Jacobs) clothes in the fall 2010 collection. (more…)
