Is This The Most Boring Fashion Week Since 9/11? [Fashion Weak]

Gawker - 10th Sep 2008

Marc Jacobs: No really, I checked with Jezebel editor Anna Holmes, seriously no one cares this year. I even checked with the anonymous comments left on New York Times fashion critic Cathy Horyn's blog; this is like the most irrelevant-feeling Fashion Week since the terrorists got involved. Why? Well I thought of five good reasons! This guy (pictured) is your first clue... Marc Jacobs is the only designer anyone cares about and, even though his collection was sort of cool this year, his collection has always been sort of a loss-leader funded by his insane diva behavior and that behavior mostly stopped this year. Last September Marc Jacobs started his 9 p.m. show two and a half hours late and everyone had a hissy fit about it, which in turn caus

Romance is in the air at Fashion Week
NEW YORK - Shopping in this economy is no picnic, but fashion designers are revving up quite a garden party come spring, judging by the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week runways. “There’s an overtly romantic mood going on,” said Michael Fink, women’s fashion director for Saks Fifth Avenue. Floral prints, sherbet shades and a sprinkling of sequins reassure Fink that designers are feeling spirited despite tightened wallets. He especially praised Marc Jacobs for an “all-America

Styled Out: Falling for fashion week
You may or may not know, but it’s officially the Mercedes Benz Spring 2009 Fashion Week in New York City. Depending on their rank, designers from all over the world are strutting it up and down the runway showing the rest of us what’s going to be hip six months from now. (I told you they were more or less backward when it came to all of that runway business.) Among the more notable appearances was one by my favorite ceLESbrity couple, Samantha Ronson and Lindsay Lohan. Check out Samantha’s new hair co

eLUXURY and Fab Play Dress Up: Marc Me
I was so proud of Marc and his Marc Jacobs collection last night, I was very happy to be dressed in his contemporary line today. Some days, a LBD does the job. Actually, most days. This Marc by Marc Jacobs Ruffled Jacquard Dress lasted me all day, and all night. This dress is slightly '80s, with the asymmetrical zipper, but the faint polka dot print (have to see up close) creates texture and it is so comfortable. I also adore the Marc by Marc Jacobs Metal Check Groovee bag — you may recall it was in this

Funny Hats and Shoulder Pads by Marc Jacobs
There were lots of plaids, chunky stripes, colors straight out at Wes Anderson film at September 8 Marc Jacobs Spring 2009 exhibition. Marc Jacobs played once more with 1940’s-style propered waists, pairing his tailored women’s dresses with heavy bangle bracelets. Dark metallic prints also appeared several times throughout the show, as did shoulder pads. The handbags, shoes and belts. Even the silly hats, tilted just so. They all awake overwhelming fashion lust in all of us every season. J

Stars Hit the Courts For Men's US Open Finals
While the Fashion Week main event last night was Marc Jacobs, all the way out in Flushing, Queens, there was another Star-studded show of talent. The men's US Open final took place with Roger Federer beating Andy Murray in three straight sets to win for the fifth year running. Anna Wintour made sure to get an early viewing of Proenza Schouler so she could catch her boy Roger in action, while Natalie Portman came for the second year in a row, only this time with a girlfriend rather than a date.

Jay-Z at the Marc Jacobs Fashion Show
Here are some pics from September 8th of Jay-Z at the Marc Jacobs Spring 2009 fashion show during New York Fashion Week. He looked good, as usual.

Introducing The Mirt
Speaking of Fashion Week glamour, please behold the new trend for the upcoming season(s): The man skirt, or as I have dubbed it: The Mirt. Marc Jacobs has been seen sporting it more than once around the Bryant Park tents, and I have a feeling Cord is going to start wearing one of his own around Jossip headquarters. Mark my words, this is going to be huge. [Source] Sep 11, 2008 · posted by Whitney · Link · 8 Responses Related Posts • 09.11.08: Aniston S

MARC JACOBS AND HIS HIS MUSE VICTORIA FIND INSPIRATION AT THE WAVERLY INN
Victoria Beckham showed off her new ‘do again last night.  The Spice Girl was seen leaving the Waverly Inn with designer Marc Jacobs last night.  The two have been fashionably tearing up New York City in honor of fashion week.  I’m not sure if I’m sold on Posh’s new haircut yet.  I love the sassiness of the cropped look but her head is so damn big in comparison to her body!

Marc Piles it On
On Monday night, Marc Jacobs blew us away with his head-to-toe, mix and match, heap-it-on accessories. He playfully combined textures and materials in new ways on colorful and fun handbags. And the jewelry was just show-stopping. Chunky and organic necklaces -- paired with loads of big, colorful bangles -- completed his more-is-more look. His heels were fantastic this time, too -- so festive and sexy. (See our previous blog post on the backstage brow drama at Marc's show.)

What The Hell Kind Of GD Outfit Is This?
Obviously, my question is not directed at Posh Spice. She still looks like a hungry power bottom, but her black robe is fine. I'm talking about Marc Jacobs' purple velvet skirt and his gladiator mandals. I think he's wearing the tree skirt from Mariah Carey's purple fantasy-themed Christmas tree. Don't tell me we're wearing skirts in public now. My walnuts would love to hang out in the open air, but I don't think my dignity could take it. Yeah, what dignity? Shut up! I fucking heard that. And why didn't t
