Atelier Doré

C’est clair, un vrai fashion statement à lui tout seul, assis à côté de Sofia Coppola en plus! La collection est sublime et avant-gardiste, c’est incroyable!
PS: il fait comment pour fumer autant sans avoir les dents jaunes???
PS2: si quelqu’un peut me dire où trouver des Stan Smith en 38, je lui fais la bise, je suis prête à me pendre…

I love the photos!!! Marc Jacobs beside Sofia Coppola, that’s great!!! The collection is amazing, a love the idea of a huge belt with a blazer and high socks over tights!

Don’t know why, but I didn’t like the collection except for some pieces (like the huge belts with the blazers)! I think he has designed and styled more beautiful and unexpected collections in the past!

A fashion & DIY blog…

super comment il se transforme et a le coeur assez ouvert pour dire la verite sur ces choix passes et a venir. Ce sera interessant de voir comment il avance au cours de ces prochaines annees.
Merci Garance:)

AÏe, il est drôle comme tout mais ce qu’il propose est assez atroce non ?
chaussures de cosmonaute, veste tourneboulée, grosses ceinture en cuir de geisha…

Et, rien de nouveau ?

Je ne sais pas, je ne comprends pas vraiment pourquoi un foin pareil, personnellement… c’est sa marque, il nomme qui il veut, il bosse comme il veut, il peut en garder le nom et partir en vacances 365 jours par an… au final ce qui compte, c’est ce qui sort sur le podium. Je me moque de savoir qui, je veux voir quoi. Et en l’occurrence, que ce soit lui ou ces charmantes demoiselles (c’est débile, mais j’ai toujours une affection immédiate pour les créatrices de mode sans physique de top model), cette collection propose de quoi réinventer une nouvelle fois la silhouette, les proportions, l’architecture du style. Pour moi c’est ça, la mode: créer de belles pièces bien coupées et faciles à porter avec un sens du détail raffiné, puis les associer de façon inédite et un poil barrée, en proposant un nouvel équilibre de la silhouette à coups d’accessoires et de façons de porter. Le commun des mortels ne pourra pas se payer les fringues, mais n’importe qui pourra s’approprier les mélanges et les réinterpréter avec son dressing. Ca, c’est du génie, et je me moque de savoir si Marc est capitaine, matelot ou esclave. C’est beau, c’est tout. Et désolée pour le roman, c’est sorti tout seul :)

Passa a trovarmi VeryFP

Les baskets de la première photo me rappelle étrangement des chaussures de Bernhard Willhem pour Camper…

The name is already written on the scarf. I can`t figure out what it stands for. I always thought the Marc by Marc Jacobs line was very weak, not consistent with the used materials, very aware of shape, but not having a true idea behind. It felt kind of lost. That explains a little why, maybe?

Oh, it stands for Marc by Marc Jacobs. Sorry for taht, I`ve been losting quite a few nights recently. :(

Au moins c’est honnête…même si ce n’était un secret pour personne, qu’il ne travaillait pas vraiment sur cette ligne ! J’ai toujours un peu de mal avec ces seconde ligne, même si on sait très bien que le plus gros du chiffre d’affaire est tiré de celle-ci…les prix sont trop élevés pour une qualité souvent très médiocre. Reste à y puiser quelques gimmicks stylistiques, et ça, ça ne coûte rien !

I am not a big fan of this collection except for the big belts and great jackets… about Marc, love his relax look and the way he was standing there watching his work!
p.s=Sofia is great even without make up… just jealous

lens & anything else

I was going to post about how badly it turns me off to hear a designer say exactly that (he’s been absent, he doesn’t realy like his brand name, he’s replaced it by something even more lacking in imagination),I was going to say that the lack of vision and commutment definitely showed in the soulless monogrammed garbage the label has put out recently, but at your suggestion I Googled « Marc Jacobs Rio Vacation » and now I’m speechless.

Honesty<3
Can't wait to watch his continued evolution…

Magnifique!! Du sportswear structuré, même ma mère finira par en porter ;-).Et cette silhouette avec la jupe, je ne peux même pas décrire ce qu’elle m’évoque ! Elle est accessible mais en même temps super profonde, genre une piscine à débordements, direct dans la mer

I loved it very much. It was something completely different and yet very flattering. :) Loving this new Marc.

Hi there, lovely Garance… I am really, really disappointed. I would pretty much have walked over hot coals for Marc Jacobs. I have always loved Marc by Marc Jacobs because it was all about Marc – he was the figurehead behind it – and what an awesome, eccentric figurehead he was! I appreciate that he turned up in the front row but LB and KH walking out at the end, in what looked like ill thought out tailoring was disappointing to me… I really, really rate Luella – have always thought it very sad that her line didn’t make it commercially but this new dynamic did nothing for me. MbyMJ felt so democratic – the store on Mount St never failed to excite me and it was so accessible to everyone – men and women of all incomes – everyone could have a « piece » of him. I presumed his departure from LV meant more time on his brands… yes – the poor chap has been burning the candle at both ends and totally deserves a break, but still. Maybe it is the conservative reactionary in me (apols!) but I didn’t see the same playfulness today that I have always loved about the brand…

I actually like it! A lot!

Hi (ciao) Garance,
I read you every day and I looove so much your blog for the nice mix of information, intelligence and humor you put in it. Please pardon me for the English mistakes I’ll surely do in the following!

Sometimes it’s difficult to me to comment your posts, I’d like to write a lot of things but I’m always in a hurry and to comment in English or French (I speak better but I write worst) requires time!

So I try to explain what I was intended to tell you with a little bit more calm. I am fashion passionate since a long time and I saw with my eyes deep changes occurring in this field. Once I had the feeling that designers created the clothes they really wanted to do and they believed in. There were of course the marketing, the strategies, the need to sell the collections, but everything seemed to me more simple, direct. It was almost like in a store: the owner buys the items for his customers, but following his own taste. Today I’m not able to perceive who owns what. Once I found on an Italian magazine an article with a detailed map, describing the ownerships of many fashion and clothing brands. It was truly very interesting, but, unfortunately, I didn’t scan it at that time, and now I am no more able to find the same information somewhere else. To know who is the owner of a brand it’s important, because, we can say what we like, but, the leader is always the one who puts the money and has to preserve his investment.

So, let’s come back to my comment: who decided that Marc had to leave Vuitton? How did the designer live this decision? Why doesn’t he design his second line anymore? Again, who decided the turn over at Yves Saint Laurent and, above all, why? Why a so prestigious name has been used to produce clothes apparently dedicated to young customers, but with such high prices? Was this a profit-making operation itself, or was it a marketing strategy to promote the brand and to lead the sales of more commercial products and accessories, such as bags, shoes and perfumes? If the same group owns more brands, how can a creative policy change in one of them affect the others business?

In this last period I also ask myself many questions about the Adidas commercial hype. We see everywhere Stan Smiths, trainings (the picture of Marc Jacobs you posted is an example), sweaters and triple striped borders on many luxury prêt-a-porter items. I can’t believe this is only a coincidence. On my blog I wrote joking about the (non Adidas) Chanel HC tennis shoes “do you think that Adidas managers got in touch with Karl?” Maybe not, but to know the map of the ownerships, could be helpful to understand.

I’m not a fashion addict, but this is the kind of questions I often ask myself (I’m not able to answer of course). The romantic idea of Monsieur Saint Laurent (or somebody else), who owned his “maison” and carried on his ideas and dreams, gave me the illusion to buy independent clothes, to manage independently my choices and not to be driven to consumptions from someone bigger and stronger than me.

There are some difficult concepts to be explained in English for me. I hope you could understand the meaning of my thoughts however!

I ask you the permission to use this answer for a post on my blog! By the way I’ll be very happy if you could give me your opinion on it!

Bisou!
Cecilia

Que de beaux clichés, Garance! Il me semble que j’y suis…Et ce regard de Marc, tellement songeur…Merci!!
