Marc Jacobs RTW Fall 2010 at New York fashion shows:
“Sometimes beautiful is enough.” That was Marc Jacobs’ observation after his fall fashion show on Monday night. A lovely thought, but Jacobs got it wrong. Because the event he had just staged was much more than beautiful. If a fashion show – especially one sprung from such mundane standards as sturdy wrap coats and sensible camels and grays – can be moving, this was it.
A quizzical gentleness pervaded the atmosphere at the Lexington Avenue Armory devoid, as promised, of celebrity mayhem. Huge slabs of cardboard turned the main hall into a giant box, at the front of which was positioned a smaller raised box. To start the show, Jacobs and Robert Duffy appeared from opposite corners and ripped away the secondary structure’s brown paper sides – just like the old days, doing it all themselves – to reveal their lineup of cozily clad young beauties. (Some were models new to the house; some were kids selected from a street casting earlier in the week.)
