my view at marc by marc jacobs fall 2011

marc by marc jacobs fall 2011

one of the highlights of my trip to new york was receiving my very first invitation to the marc by marc jacobs show. when i first started getting into fashion as a high school student (i’m going to date myself and tell you that was ’96 – ’00), i was immediately drawn to marc jacobs and prada. and there’s no denying jacob’s strong influence in fashion, and to this day, he is still one of my favorites, so it was an honor to be able to attend this show.

since everything happens so fast at shows, i was torn between trying to snap my own pictures and just enjoying that brief moment each look breezes by. but above are some of the shots that i did manage to snap between gasps and oohs and aahs. on the whole, this collection was definitely very wearable. i loved the little shorts suits and pretty silk dresses in stunning jewel tones and metallics balanced out by warm tones of brown, orange, and maroon. but in particular, i’ve got my eye on that stunning gazelle print! or at least i think it was a gazelle. i’ll admit that from my seat at the show, i thought they were reindeers at first. so feel free to correct me if i’m wrong!

and for the sake of sharing the complete looks, below are some shots of my favorites via style.com.

  1. I like “your favourites”. I will have to remember to come back to the collection in Fall for inspiration. Of course, if the weather keeps staying as cold as it has been where I live, I might be able to look to the collection for inspiration a lot sooner than Fall!

  2. lol, if 96-00 is dating yourself, add me to the list of oldie as well. Love the pictures you took @ MJ’s show, I’m living vicariously through you and few others who had the opportunity attend NY fashion week.

  3. You are incredibly lucky, I would so love to be able to attend a Marc Jacobs show.. I am such a a massive fan of Marc Jacobs! I dream of the day I can afford to buy some of his amazing stuff….. biglongwistfulsigh….
