A new world order has been established at Marc by Marc Jacobs. Having handed over the reins to British designers Luella Bartley and Katie Hillier, Jacobs took a front row seat to watch a well-heeled army of cyber punk schoolgirls pound down the runway. The collection was a youthful pastiche of Japanese cultural references. Yet the ninja-style pantaloons paired with BMX boots and knee-high socks, kimono shirts and fetish-sized plastic pencil skirts were far from conventional. A particular highlight were voluminous red plaid and crinoline skirts, worn with capelets and sweaters festooned with bows, that were just easily slung over the shoulders. Seductive, distinctive and alluring, it was just what the Marc by Marc Jacobs girl should be.
