This collection did not disappoint. As the first look stormed the runway, we knew this season was going to be bold, bright and brave. The pieces were dominated by physcadelic , retro prints which screamed 70’s glamour and excess.
From the halter dresses, wide legged trousers and puffy sleeved tops, Marc’s message was loud and clear. Turning his back on the apparent minimal trend, the energy of the show was electric and harked back to a time when females were liberated in their fashion choices and dressed up just for the fun of it!
A consistent theme that Jacobs committed to throughout several of his designs was a floral structure which bloomed beautifully from belts, headpieces and collars of dresses and tops. The theme blended seamlessly into his hippie style, off the shoulder tops and billowing dresses. The bright gold cut off shorts and fitted jackets would most certainly have some recalling the disco dancing days of Studio 54.
The deep, intense colour pallet included rich plums, maroons and mustards, softer pinks; mauve gold’s and the odd sequined embellishment were dramatic and feminine. He contrasted block colours with stripes and spots in kaleidoscopic proportions.
Marc contested that this collection was ‘everything I love’ and the fun and unrestrained nature of the garments confirmed this declaration and brought the frivolity back into fashion.
