Always a directional force, Marc Jacobs’ autumn clothes were the polar
opposite of the urban magpies he showed for spring.
Titled “And God Created Woman,” the Louis Vuitton collection was like an old love poem, celebrating femininity with romantic, 1950s-style corseted and full-skirted looks that revealed heaving cleavage and a respectable amount of leg. A massive, dramatic fountain, which the models walked around, added to the feeling of a bygone era in the air.
Outside of all the beautifully crafted wool, tweed and cloqué skirts (some of which had undulating folds in the back), much of the show’s fun came with Jacobs’ choice in models. Many of them were older model favourites such as Laetitia Casta and Elle MacPherson (because the new, young girls surely wouldn’t be able to fill out those corsets.) And most of them were curvy, by fashion’s standards. For once, it was nice to see arms with a little flesh on their bones.
