why you should care:
What’s fashion’s golden boy giving us this season? It was Geisha girl at the namesake show, while Marc by Marc reignited my love for all things Denise Huxtable. Oversized sweaters! Prints! Saturated colors! But at the LV show in Paris, Jacobs took us in another direction, serving up what Grazia has called a "ghetto fab mash up". Complete with over sized Afros (five mini wigs sewed together), Jacob’s let fans know that over-the-top everything was back in action. Raccoon tails attached to monogrammed purses? Furry clogs? Sparkles? Batik patterns? Yes, we saw it all. At once, sometimes. But hey, when you get an audible whoop from the Creative Director of Vogue, maybe less really isn’t more.
Afros on everyone....hmmmm!!! maybe the world would be a better place after all.
