We have more photos from what is sure to be a lovely series of ads from Marc Jacobs. First off, I love how he decided to go small, yes you have to strain to see, but it forces you to really look. Because what are we if we are not all marketers on some level? If you were at his Fall show in New York you’ll understand that he has plenty to work with. His Fall lined abandoned the whole frumpy, layered, Full House twins look and went super upscale stylish. Yes, that’s the technical term.

One of the things I fear though is that his line for the fall will be constructed primarily for the 5′8″ and up set. As with most designers if you’re a size 6 and above you are really pushing the line as to whether the clothing was made for you. So that’s strike one. Strike two is that looking at his line for Fall you can’t help but feel that the more vertically challenged you are, the harder it will be to pull off one of his pieces. The infamous red coat speaks directly to my fears. It’s 3/4 length, slinky and looks oh so good… on a tall model. This was shot by Juergen Teller.

For those of you dying to see what it would look like in it’s original form on a magazine page, see below:

Those pesky investment bankers have enough. Millions and billions of dollars, towncars that wrap around broadway near water street, a magnificent bull statue that announces you are in an area dripping with money. Now they have a Hermes store. It opened last week (Thursday) to be exact, on Broad Street near Wall Street. What do Wall Street guys and gals know about fashion anyway? I’ll break this down to the sub-atomic level. They have money. They have too much money. They have so much that they don’t know what to do with. The only retail experience they have down there is Century 21 for designer items. Truth be known, they really don’t need a discount designer shopping center. They want to pay full price. They need to pay full price. I say let them.

While I covet everything in this 4,000 square foot store it also comforts me to know that Tiffany’s, Canali and Thomas Pink will be opening a store down there as well. Money begets Money.

The New York Time’s Ruth La Ferla wrote a fashion story (published yesterday), presumably attempting to analyze what she considers the hippest summer fashion trend — bohemian chic with a modern edge. She acknowledges that the current generation of young women aren’t exactly replicas of their 1960s counterparts (though some obnoxiously pretend to be), but this point seems grazed over in favor of conveying a carefree, we’re-independent-and-confident-but-didn’t-spend-three-hours-getting-ready (no, they spent four). The article’s interviewees described the style as “ghetto hippie, a “flowing, sensual, kind of sexy acid trip” and “Pakistani tailor” (used as a pseudo hyphenated noun, naturally). The trend titles alone should scream caution to savvy shoppers. Long rant short, I’m not a big fan of the idea or the look itself. With that said, if it’s done right, it can be fabulous (like this T-Bags dress), but if it’s wrong, it’s very wrong.

Dear Mr. Cavalli,

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. For years I was hoping I could finally afford something you designed. A belt buckle, socks, that little rubber thing on the tip of a heel that prevents it from being worn down, anything would do. The news that you would be bringing something to the masses via H&M brings a tear to my eye. It has also put my wallet on notice that soon it will be opening up to purchase something of substance. I ask that you not make it a derivative work, or Roberto Cavalli lite. I ask that you create something completely different for H&M. I’m also hoping that you let H&M know that I should have first dibs on anything in the store prior to release. I say this because after that Stella McCartney debacle where that little Brazilian woman broke my rib and took out a tooth for that blouse I was reaching for, I am dead set against being rushed to the emergency room. Unless you are also creating some sort of fabulous accessories line for H&M as well.

Faithfully yours,
