Where others find grey drab and boring, I find an odd delight in layering shades of the monochrome color. Marc Jacobs started his show with a mix of greys (knits, tweeds) which soon became the grounding palette for his romantically serious collection. I found it interesting that the mix of ‘real NYC girls’ and unknown models in such soft, neutral colors actually accentuated the his play of proportions and fabrics.
Back to the word “serious” for a minute, I was surprised to see so many skirt suits and 3pc suits on the runway. Ankle socks seemed to emerge as a trend, which surprisingly looked really good with the below-the-knee a-line skirts and culottes. How tall do you need to be to pull this off in real-life? I have the perfect pair of mary janes to test this theory tonight.
