I did not say afford, I said wear... Talking specifically about Marc Jacobs' collection for the Fall 2010 Ready
to Wear...I have always liked Marc's clothes but of late they have been a
bit too fussy for me...I am not one for retro, gimmicky, or overwrought.
Though I will admit these clothes are not inspiring or revolutionary, but
they do have that "gotta have it" thing. I would wear any of these pieces to
death- they are pieces that actually could go right from runway to closet-
though that one skirt length is a bit awkward (mid calf and full- oy). Yes
the palette is somber but the silhouettes are really cool. I am one of the
poor souls that will have to wait for the "repurposed" pieces to make their
way to stores like Club Monaco and Zara- one wonders if Marc took the easy
way out with appealing basics or he's just looking for a way to give us
girls some "real" clothes and comfort for the fall? In times like these,
it's nice to be able to rely on a wardrobe full of wearable clothes.
