Who Are You Marc Jacobs Spring 2009?

I'm prepared to lose some street cred for the following comments but I can't help but be puzzled by a designer who, in the same show, presented:

The first two "Mary Poppins Goes To Dubai" looks were a scary reminder of that PR Little Bo Peep disaster from a short while ago, while the latter two look perfectly chic and pulled together.

Please don't misunderstand me, I love a little quirk. Make that a whole lotta quirk:

Love the I Dream Of Jeannie pants, wacky little gold & turquoise safety pin, and all:

BUT since nobody rocks harem pants quite like Barbara Eden, and lurex & plaid combos remind me of Halloweens gone by, I'll stick to classic pieces that I will wear year after year -- sorry Marc.

No I'm with you... I LOVE MJ, but those first two are a little too far off for my taste...

Love the second 2 though... I want that peach dress!

Ok, the first two are horrifying, but the rest I like.

i see what you mean. I like the whacked first two; at least I like elements of them. and the peach is gorgeous, but as a whole, huh?! do you feel this way about a lot of shows this season? i'm thinking it's an epidemic.

FH - I must be honest, I'm feeling a tad underwhelmed with Spring's offerings!

And you're right about the head to toe peach, hard to pull off for sure but I love the silhouette)

Gotta say, on first review, I'm not loving this collection. (I may live to change my mind, I guess.)

MJ seems to be the most talked about collection this week. Not quite my cup of tea but small details are catching my eyes. Good fun.. bag addict I'm.. I'll have to hunt down the bags..
