Marc Jacobs has always been one of my favorite designer, so I've been wanting to make an illustration of his outfit since like, forever. But somehow I never manage to do it because simply I couldn't choose which collection should I sketch! Then one day I came up with the idea of sketching one outfit that I like most from his spring collection from four years back until the recent spring 2011 collection, and what an idea it was; I certainly had a lot of fun drawing it. (:

Let's start with the interesting and unexpected S/S 2007 collection! I'd say unexpected because instead of continuing with his grunge theme, Marc went in opposite direction and did something so flowery and ivory and heavy 1920s inspired outfits. IMO it's a very wearable and memorable collection, and I love the blouses, the metallic, the sequins, and the 'tissue-paper' details, and the lightness of the clothes overall.


And of course the set - how can I forgot to mention the set! It was just surreal, I felt like I'm in a dream world.

S/S 2008 collection would be my favorite Marc Jacobs' collection, ever. I never ever get tired of this very wearable interpretations-of-the-surrealist outfits and these misplaced pumps are just adorable, and what's with the bag-on-bag bags? Well they just counts as another layer of adorableness, which makes this collection....hang on a second while I make some quick calculations...mmhmm...carry the three...ah yes, double adorable.


S/S 2009 collection was just disgustingly good. Like warm chocolate-chip cookies with almond milk kind of good. I got more and more excited as I saw more, the shoes and the hats were fantastic! The collection was so very much in the vein of the Japanese street wear, and overall it's collection of fun and quirky pieces crumbled together in a crazy mix, and styled with a good eye. All the pieces have this electric feel to it; it might be the hats or the materials used, but there's something about them that makes you feel excited!

S/S 2010 collection was all about eccentric ballerinas wearing ruffles, ruffles, and ruffles. While the styling is quite too much in my eyes, I love the details such as the black ruffle trims on the white tulle fabric and the pearl embellishment.

And finally, the S/S 2011 collection which looks and feels extremely 1970s. While I'm not a big fan of the decade, the pallette offered won me over, also the city-summer-seventies vibe that seems so easy and uncomplicated. The collection reminds me of Biba, Sonia Rykiel, and mostly vintage YSL, all at the same time, but overall I think the concept is charming and quirky as always, and because of that, Marc is forever in my heart.
