2 hour late show notwithstanding, we decided to key in on what others were saying about the Marc Jacobs show:
Renata Espinosa of Fashion Wire Daily Says:
“But it was really what the clothes revealed underneath that was the focus of the collection - the foundation garments. This was Jacobs’ take on sex for the highbrow, nerdy set; a witty way of exploring sensuality that avoided the typical feminine stereotypes, or so he said. Satin tap “pan-tease” and bras in nude and black, sheer corsets that revealed their construction and a variety of negligees…
…So, in the end, perhaps designing a collection around undergarments was just a case of the Emperor’s New Clothes. Will people rave about it? Of course. And will people buy it? In droves.”
Tanika White of the Baltimore Sun said:
In just about all of Jacobs’ shows, I leave with the distinct feeling that the Emperor has no clothes – and no one wants to tell him. In this case, the Emperor had only baffling parts of clothes. And I wonder if any of the glossy fashion mags and big-time critics will say so.
Kellie Hush of the Syndey Morning Herald said:
The collection itself wasn’t groundbreaking. Jacobs stuck with the feminine silhouette he presented for autumn/winter 2007. Long pencil skirts, short trapeze dresses and flowing floral maxi-dresses in purple, peach, emerald green, red and black were on display.
What do I say? I didn’t really get where he was going this season. It was stringy, sparse pieces over underwear. Maybe his genius and ability to think is so beyond mine that I’m going to catch up a couple of months from now. I place doubt on my previous statement. It wasn’t what we’re used to expecting from Jacobs in terms of design and the “MJ” aesthetic and a whole two hours late it left a lot to be desired. I’ll pass.

Interview: Thomas Voorn
Sonia Pereira Murphy
Considering the now ubiquitous trend of disposable fashion where all that seems to matter is a cute factor, Thomas Voorn's intellectual take on clothing is not only refreshing, but enlightening.
