Marc Jacobs gets trippy

-

one gray hoodie with vertical blue, white and sand-coloured stripes that appeared to have an oven on it. And there was a pair of green platform snakeskin boots emblazoned with two juice-dripping lemons that had big blue bedroom eyes.

Some fashion, like other art, is meant to be absorbed in the moment. This was one of those times. Through it all, Jacobs’ craftsmans­hip shined through. A psychedeli­c collared jacket in swirls of white, purple and yellow daisies had a killer pair of thigh-high platform boots as a complement.

Jacobs was feeling the Harajuku and the shiny metallics, in short skirts, jackets, pants, shoes, sandals, boots. And glitzy glitter, in little hard-party dresses, jackets and pants of silver, black, green, purple, pink and blue.

Not all were show pieces, intended to grab attention but not sell. Plenty were wearable and decidedly not trippy, like a basic orangeand-green wide stripe sweatshirt, collared and V-neck average folk might like. There was a short, girly denim jacket and letterman jackets jazzed up just enough with glitter.

The same goes, in the wearable department, for a patchwork leather button-down coat in red, pink, orange and light brown worn by Gigi, while her buddy Jenner wore a shiny silver and blue metallic version over a minidress adorned with rows of blue, purple, pink and green stars.

As for the high platforms on the feet, Jacobs did the same last season for a gothier show. This time, he brought carefree and ready for anything, from head to toe, with a soundtrack that included Underworld’s Born Slippy (You had chemicals boy...).
