Those who saw Marc Jacobs F/W 11-12 collection would immediately tell, it is Marc's work, it is the trend Marc started their in New York that he brought with to Paris.
Lines of French housemaids and big black balloons proffering trays of Vodka shots, champagne and espresso at 9:30 a.m. to greet the guests of the show outside the tent. The inside, a huge squared faux-marble retro hotel hall with 4 elevators in its center and four porters waiting there to open the door to each model stepping out on the catwalk.
The big surprise, the top models special appearances in the show like Naomi, Amber, Carolina and Kate.
The show opened with Aymeline Valade wearing below knee sheer skirt paired with a sweat with Peter Pan white collar and a cordovan corseted belt with an LV bag cuffed to her hand; almost every other model that followed was carrying a bag as well. The military hats (once again), the transparent fabric, the plasticized shiny lace and prim white collars, the man tweed jackets reshaped in hour-glass shape, the python, the fake fur or even the Mongolian lamb fur all used and combined to create a fetishist dominatrice maybe coming back from the era of Brigitte Bardot, from the 50's chic. Actually the fetish idea came from a conversation Marc Jacobs has with LVMH's founder, chairman and CEO Bernard Arnault about the women's "irrational, inexplicable obsession with the label's bags" the designer added "and that got us started thinking about passions and any of the disciplines that require effort and work and commitment." What also inspired the collection and "mise-en-scene" comes from the elevators of the hotel were MJ stays. Marc said backstage after the show : " I stay at Claridge's in London, I love it when i see all these exquisite creatures, socialities, people you don't know if they're hookers or not, stepping out of the lift all hours of the day and night."
The show witnessed a reinterpretation of the 1958 top-handle Lockit bag presented in Jacobs' provocative way: The designer put it in the handcuffed hands of the models but if this isn't provocative enough for you then know that the cuffs where 18 karat gold with encrusted diamond.
The rough rigid looks were too feminine and too sensual, the maxi white sheered dresses or the wide belts paired with pencil skirts , plastic croc boots and hot pants were too rigid and too fragile at the same time and everything was so perfect, incarnating the idea of obsession till Kate Moss showed to close the show smoking a cigarette wearing hot pants with a rubber-lace and fur jacket and sandals that took 1 hour to lace up.
Everything was so perfect, models were so powerful and confident till that appearance of Kate, she was the only one looking uneasy and unable to walk and Here's a link to read about Kate Moss' cellulite body compared to the bodies of other women between 26.
