It’s clear that Marc Jacobs is back in a festive mood. Fall’s somber silhouettes, shown against a cardboard backdrop and accessorized with practical day bags that translated to a chic day at the office, have been officially replaced by seventies glamour for spring. The colors! The scaled-down shapes! The emphasis on evening! Presented to the tunes of Vivaldi strings, they worked as a cumulative whole. The palette of colors was absolutely delicious; hibiscus pink, tangerine and mauve cast in exotics, shiny leather and suede all screamed party on the beach in Rio! While frivolity clearly existed in the details of the garments, they weren’t forgotten about with the bags either: the evening clutches all boasted statement-making embellished closures while the day bags, in bright pops of neon, featured vintage-inspired clasps of heft. While I’m sure there are day options that’ll be sold in stores, it’s nice to know Marc is singing an altogether different, and much more festive, tune!
I met up with the very cool girls of Shopbop.com this week and one of them (Morgan, the Style Director) was sporting the latest from Be & D– the Foundry bag. Talk about a drool inducing bag– it was all I could do not to rip it from her shoulders! Luckily she felt my bag envy and let me play with it for a bit during our meeting. There are so many great details in the bag that I don’t even know where to start! The chain is convertible from a two strap to a single long messenger strap and the bag is lightweight, and functional with patch pockets, whip stitching and subtle button tabs. The chic olive color is also an amazing neutral that we all must have in our wardrobe! Hurry because there is only ONE left!
