Marc Jacobs, Spring/Summer '09 (scroll down to read the review)
Marc Jacobs
Bustled and tiered suffragette skirts, modest little jackets, obi belts and geisha tunics - might all sound a perverse mix but in the hands of Marc Jacobs it turned magical. His collection was a romantic foray into the diverse ethnicity of America with elements of black culture interwoven with sharp-shouldered tailored skirt suits made for the creative boardroom.

The evocative play of fabrics – rich silks embroideries, gingham and metallic stripes – was enticing, while ideas like thigh length tunics provided new wardrobe ideas. The eclectic image was topped by Stephen Jones’ charming squashed straw hats. A collection to fall in love with.
