Marc Jacobs, Spring/Summer '08 (scroll down to read the review)
Marc Jacobs
The show was so late two hours that social snappers resorted to photographing any good looker with a Taco Bell ad commercial to their name. The slim and buff Jacobs presented a show in reverse, running down the catwalk to take applause before the show had begun and sending out a finale line-up of girls. So far so Ann Sofie Back. But when it got down to the clothes, everything was deconstructed half-made so that a sequin dress featured a top which looked stuck onto the collar bones, the back revealing a bra strap.
A sweet pink creation in crepe allowed a side view of French knickers and a bra strap; an embroidered daisy fabric was draped across the body, held fast on one shoulder revealing a slip beneath; and a cashmere sweater dress revealed a panel of tulle at the midriff as though cut in half and stretched. Charming.
