"The eye has to travel" is a quote that always felt close to me. Who said it? Diana Vreeland, the queen of fashion from the 20th century. Fortunately, this quote is also important to Marc Jacobs – his AW15 collection definitely proves it. With a stormy temper, the models walked down the gloomy runway wearing Victorian gowns, Night Porter inspired sheer dresses, pilgrim shoes, art nouveau prints on flared skirts – you've got a feeling that you're filtering a gorgeous Vogue edition which is guest edited by Marc. And Katie Grand, of course!
"She was a genius," Jacobs said of the legendary Vogue editor, Diana, backstage. "She got the whole fashion thing: being decisive, being so excitable, and then being as passionate and dismissive about the very same thing the next day." Jacobs read her Memos book while he was working on the Fall collection; the surprise is that he hasn't made a muse of Vreeland before. "I felt like that's what fashion is," he continued, "that complete addiction, obsession, that I've-got-to-have-it need until I basically wouldn't be caught dead in it." The darkness changed into monochrome and bold red; the textiles were opulent and rich. As it's the last show of New York Fashion Week, Marc Jacobs gave us a delicious dessert, leaving the best for the end.
