After seeing Marc Jacobs' pimped out, pilgrim-inspired NYFW show on Monday, we weren't sure WHAT to expect from his Marc by Marc Jacobs line. But we were oddly surprised at the straight-forward, streamlined collection, which featured tons of World War II-meets-'80s punk rock ensembles. Marc stuck to a mostly red, white and blue palette with lots of blacks, grays, a few metallic pieces and?get this?RAT TAILS! In his first ensemble, he took the workman's jumpsuit and transformed it into a more fitted, wearable wardrobe staple by adding a tailored button waist and feminine neckline. He put a striped black, white, and red shirt underneath for a pop of color and finished the look with a military-style hat and heavy black motorcycle boots. Up next was an art deco navy blue and red printed shift dress with a black fur coat, gray socks, military-style boots, and thick plastic-rim glasses.
In another look, he went for an oversized '80s graphic sweater paired with a black and white midi-length pleated skirt paired with a tall military hat, socks, and studded shoes. For a very '40s menswear-inspired ensemble, he belted a black wool coat with a white button-up shirt and loose, red trousers tucked into punky buckled boots. He finished the ensemble with cat eye sunglasses and a pop of matte red lipstick. The soundtrack perfectly reflected his collection?he played a remix of classic punk rock songs by British bands The Buzzcocks and Public Image Ltd. The sound of Johnny Rotten's voice paired military-esque ensembles gave a full-circle feel of the inspiration behind Marc's line. Because, I mean, what's more punk rock than watching models walk to the sound of Sex Pistols' Johnny Rotten himself? Prooobably nothing.
