Marc Jacobs: Hit or Miss?

Fashion superstar Marc Jacobs showcased his Fall 2009 collection this week to mixed reviews. Some like Woman's Wear Daily loved the bright, puffy, 80s glam look. Others, like the New York Times fashion writer, Cathy Horyn, dissed Jacobs for his electric colors and "forced" aesthetic. I'm a Marc Jacobs fan (especially fond of his new Daisy perfume), and this collection features a few of his signature boho looks that I love, and a few aggressively big-shouldered poofy things that I don't.

Hits:The color is a little bright for the average human, but I love the Russian scarf and the black opaque tights. Okay. I like that he used 80s gold lame and gave it a sweet 50's-style cut, black tights, and a chunky necklace.

Misses:
Joan Collins sure looks good for her age. Ugh. Horrible!

The only excuse for this could be costuming for a 80s sci-fi flick starring Olivia Newton John.
