Narciso Rodriguez and Marc by Marc Jacobs - The Fashion Week Runway Review

A look from Marc by Marc Jacobs

The fashion just keeps on gettin' better.

Let's recap some of my favorite shows of the day! Ready? Let's go!

Marc by Marc Jacobs: Marc, it is my prediction that you're gonna make a whole lot of downtown hipsters very happy. Just think! Now they can walk into their local Barneys CO-OP just like the rest of us rather than sifting through dirty thrift store bins. Fab. Sadly, I'm not one of those downtown hipsters I speak of. The plaids, tweeds, and hiking boot combos are not really my cup of tea. The people you sent waltzing down the runway really did look like they were off to cut trees in the Yukon. Nice try, but no cigar.

Narciso Rodriguez: Mr. Rodriguez, just because you are officially a member of Mrs. O's wardrobe does not give you permission to slack off. Let me be honest: I heart you hardcore but I was a bit disappointed. Your usually impeccable tailoring was lacking in originality and some of the looks you debuted just didn't fit. I did love some of the soft colors (salmon pink, luxurious camel) and you are a genius in the simplicity department. I just feel like you can do better. I know you've been distracted - parting ways with your investors at Liz Claiborne, designing the election night garb for the First Lady - but it's time to focus. I expect more come Spring.
