Via a live stream, to the sound of “Somewhere over the rainbow”, I watched as Marc showed an all neutral and pastel Autumn(Fall)/ Winter 2010-2011 collection.

This was a line up with a déjà vu inducing nostalgic feel to it. It was almost as if Marc had thrown all his best looks from seasons past into one zipped folder collection.

The runway saw a bit of everything that is essentially Marc(Granny librarian Chic, grunge,japanese influence, bows, high meets low mix,size play etc) with no particular new concept or theme other than the muted palette, easy wearability and texture(think lots of varied fur separates/ fur trimmed pieces layered with velvet, shearling, knit, tweeds and etc designs).

It was a line up of midi length skirts, knits, fur embellished pieces, plastic coats, suiting separates, great coats, culottes, shearling capes, sugary sweet little sheer dresses, a variety of after the knee dresses, velvet separates, razor sharp elbow length gloves, maxi gowns made from grey T-shirt fabric with fur collars.

Buyers will love how wearable everything is. I love the fact that the show read like a ‘Marc Jacobs greatest hits album’ that you cannot stop playing. That being said, don’t be fooled that this was a collection to overlook, anything but. Look closely at the techniques, choice of fabric, the styling etc and you will see the brilliance that is Jacobs.

In short to attempt to recreate this look (you know you want to! I sure do!); throw your favourite vintage piece with a grey t-shirt, varying textures of fur, shimmy into a flat pair of geek chic shoes with ankle socks, a muted sequin piece, a cape, elbow length gloves and your favourite granny inspired bag.

Oh Marc how much do I love you, let me count the ways?! Love much!

I cannot wait to rock the ‘just raided granny’s wardrobe meets my fave magpie pieces meets cool Japanese girl’ look.
