Marc Jacobs Menswear Fall Campaign 2011

The Marc Jacobs ads are always quirky, I really don't know what is inside that man's mind but they do look super cool and break the mold of the almost perfect models gazing the magazine pages. This season 53 year old conceptual artist Cerith Wyn Evans becomes the face for the luxury brand's menswear line. The campaign was shot by Juergen Teller.

Marc Jacobs 2011 Fall/Winter Campaign

This has been one of the most rumored fall campaigns for Marc Jacobs, the pictures leaked about a week ago of actress Helena Bonham Carter wearing the designer’s fall collection for what it seemed to be an ad campaign. The actress wore the designer’s resort look at the Screen Actor Guild Awards this past award season. In the first picture she seems sick with spots on her face and body, and the second picture she’s begging like a dog. This is a quirky ad, something to be expected from a quirky designer and quirky actress.

Marc by Marc Jacobs: A Hipsters Dream

The latest Marc by Marc Jacobs collection is truly a dream come true for hipster girls. The label now being over a decade long has started to have a strong following among the younger crowd, a bit different from what the designer caters for in his namesake label. It’s really amazing how Marc Jacobs manages to produce so many collections each year but each of them having a distinct influence from each other. In my last post on the Marc Jacobs resort collection I mentioned a youth revolt with the clothes but in this collection there is no revolt, but an appreciation for an urban chic girl who rummages through thrift stores.

There is a something for everyone in the collection with jersey dresses, floral print jumpsuits and rompers, sequin tops and tailor shorts. The accessories were platform weaving cloth pumps, geek chic glasses, beach bags, and floral scarfs which matched the apparel. Color story played a major part in the collection with deep reds, neon yellows, black sequin and polka dots (another recurring motif among the resort collections). Jacobs delivers to his young fans with this collection giving them bold looks at assessable prices.

Marc Jacobs: Youth Revolt

This resort collection could not be any more different than what designer Marc Jacobs showed us for fall a couple months back. In his latest 2012 collection, like many other designers, takes us to a sun filled destination where we can just be ourselves. This might be because of the cold winter we experienced and we are now ready to enjoy the sun. The clothes were very organic but at the same time very youthful with easy flowing silhouettes, jeweled crop tops, daisy patters and bright tulle. The girls were primarily in flats which were ballerina inspired or decorated by large crystals. The use of the metallic fabric did bring something different to the collection, giving it a sense of chic that his loyal customers will be eager to get their hands on.

Last night the designer received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America) for his work in fashion not only with his namesake brand but also at Louis Vuitton. Overall the collection was fun, easy flowing something we have been missing from Jacobs but I’m more excited to see what he will show for spring in the next coming months.
