New York Fashion Week doesn't really seem complete without a look at the latest and greatest from Marc Jacobs, and what better way to see his latest show than through the eyes of our FOK (and blogger extraordinaire), Bryanboy. While we followed Bryan through an entire day at Fashion Week last season, this time around, Bryan took us to the front row with him and gave us his take on MJ's spring/summer 2012 collection.
Read on for Bryanboy's perspective on the show, and check out his personal photos above for your own front row access.
Yesterday evening's Marc Jacobs show was quite a production. For seven minutes, the New York State Armory on Lexington Avenue was transformed into a magical stage set inspired by Southern dance halls -- gold lamé curtains, chairs, beams decorated with light bulbs and a wooden runway.
Marc's spring/summer 2012 collection was an exercise in texture and translucency. I wanted to feel the garments with my own hands. I love how he played with different materials such as organza, plastic, pailettes and silicone (those crocodile-embossed jackets are divine). His take on the gingham print was also sweet.
My personal must-have? I saw this delightful fluorescent pistachio green sweater in a fabric that felt as if it was a mix between neoprene and cashmere. It felt smooth to the skin when I touched it backstage.
For accessory lovers out there, most of the bags were cute, fringey clutches, bowling-inspired and bucket-shaped with wide handles which looked oh-so-effortless.
After witnessing a stampede of prints from, not one, not two, but many designers on the runways this season, Marc's show punctuated New York Fashion Week on a high note.
