Marc Jacobs Spring 2011 RTW

There are no words other than Marc Jacobs is a genius. No - Beyond genius. Whatever is beyond genius - that's what he is. His over the top, 70's allure, Studio 54 reminiscent collection was absolute magnetism. It simply just drew you in. First off - Marc is no stranger to fabulous presentation. This year his runway was a complete golden circle with a huge bronzed drum in the middle. The collection consisted of  flared trousers, suit jackets, sheer tops and dresses all in the most amazing color palette. After the F/W collection was so dreamy with light airy colors (nudes, dusty pinks, greys) Marc said "we decided to go sunny" This collection is 100% pure glamour and fun! The styling was also right on point with big hair, floppy hats, rose colored glasses and huge flowers around the models shoulders, necks and in their hair. Here are a few of the amazing looks from Monday night's show:

I'm having a total Rachel Zoe moment here - gold sequin jacket, cream trousers, cognac platforms. In the words of Mrs. Zoe herself - OOC for sure.

Ladies - you better be prepared to show a little skin this Spring - sheer is definitely in. I love the briefs underneath - and the colors! Breathtaking combination

I'm having a total Jodie Foster in Taxi Driver flashback (need a reminder - click hereto see the ladies at WhoWhatWear channel Iris) Fabulous colors (love that top) and I need that flower belt - perhaps I could figure out a DIY. Marc also featured several floppy hats in the collection - this chocolate brown one is Divine.

Yes please - love this whole ensamble! And those shoes....

I feel like Marc used not only the feel of the 70's for inspiration but also actual designers from that era as well - this looks similar to something that Missoni might have put out. This whole entire color palette is so complimentary and fits together like a puzzle - it's just the right amount of everything.

 
These two dresses were made from similar material just different colors and silhouettes. They both have a retro feeling with a modern touch - perhaps those massive flowers? So elegant.

Check out the video below for the full show. What do you think of the collection? Will you be wearing 70's inspired this spring? I'm not usually one for wearing a trouser - but I kind of feel like I need to find those purple ones ASAP.
