Marc Jacobs rocks the 80's for his Fall 2009 collection

Yes, if you lived in New York in the 1980s and indulged in the club life of palladium, Bentleys, Area, you could remember the feel good clothes you wore, them yesteryear's. The Big bright colors, the shoulder padded chiffon blouses, the baggy pants with cropped up cotton shirts and the great sports two door Mercedes Benz zipping through Manhattan, that was my idea of the eighties , oh Yes and Gordon Geckos of the ever so eighties wall street movie , that exemplified 80s excess's. But Last night at the Marc Jacobs show , this is almost what he was trying to achieve a little feel good fashion sense in a very dismal economic climate . The show started off with a Gray cardigan sweater and charcoal trousers , but the back was half of a kilt and braces , this told me that Marc Jacobs was at it again .
The girls flowed past us in full skirts and monster shoulders ,velvet bustier tops and high waisted over dyed jeans pans , beautiful bright capes and hooded jackets in an assortment of bright colors , these clothes were almost exclusively east village look with a twitch of Parisian simplicity. Obviously Marc Jacobs misses the New York of yesteryear's ,being that he now resides in Paris , But alas the fun the show generated, I still believe that Marc toned it down a little for this particular show. Is Marc a sensible designer ? is he thinking economic times are hard and he needs to go slow . Hmmm!!!! that's for you consumers and fashionistas to decide.

This was eighties in a big way, the gals were made up in thick mascara eyeliner , reminiscent of Shalamar or Prince's proteges ala VANITY and Apolonia Six or even Sheila E, and British pop group "Five star". I love the eighties and can't wait for the fashionistas to strut in these fine fabrics. Marc Jacobs does it again .
