Marc Jacobs...

One of my favourite designers who never fails to impress! Marc Jacobs Fall 2011 collection was very Parisian lady meets military chic - think petite berets, plenty of sparkle and texture and fantastic tailoring paired with tough boots, silvery rubber trousers and pronounced patch pockets. Marc Jacobs managed to keep the collection the right side of 1950's glam - nothing was too 50's and impractical to wear.  While maintaining a distinct level of sophistication, Marc Jacobs played round with it, bringing in texture, structure and a 'jewel' feeling colour palette.    Polka dots and lace were a strong theme throughout, my favourite piece being the burgundy coloured lace dress.  A fantastic collection, very strong and very wearable.
