Leaving His Marc

Amidst chaos, couture frocks, models, and most importantly talented designers’ renditions for Paris Fashion Week, one headline seemed to outshine all of Paris! The headline materialized after a Sunday night Louis Vuitton Spring 2008 collection. A recently rehabbed, Marc Jacobs came down the runaway for the finale bow- in front of his boss at LVMH, numerous editors, and several celebrities- only not taking his bow instead sticking his tongue out in retaliation of International Herald Tribune fashion critic Suzy Menkes.

The conflict began when Suzy Menkes critzied Marc Jacobs’s Marc Jacob Spring 2008 collection as “a bad, sad show”, further feeding the fire by issuing a statement blaming designs such as Marc’s to symbolize “everything that is wrong with current fashion." Ouch! So you could imagine how any designer would feel after such comments. His refute, however immature, was to gesture Suzy with a slight slip of the tongue. Hell it was a full out bashing to her face, who are we kidding?

Bottom Line: No one can argue Marc Jacobs to be one the most influential and inspiring American designers of the moment, yet his recent erratic and bizarre behavior has been landing him straight on tabloid front covers. Not good business, good publicity, but not fabulous for a designer who wants to be taken seriously. If anything his latest act will only further soil his name and brand! If only his personal life could be has well conceived has his fashion lines!

Built- in -Jewelry!!

Accessorizing has now gotten easier- for those who find wearing the right accessories a daunting task. Fashion designers sent down the runway their latest inspirations for this season’s neckline! Models were fitted in original pieces adorned in lavish jewels and sequins sufficient for a bare neck and limited jewelry.

Chloé Girl

Wanna Be a Chloé Girl?

Chloé is a luxury French fashion house, founded in 1952 by Jacques Lenoir and Gaby Aghion. (Fun Fact: There is no Chloé for who the line is named after, Jacques and Gaby chose the name for its warm, feminine appeal!) And ever since then the Chloé brand has prided itself on personifying the sexy, independent, quirky, smart, and strong girl! The Fashion line has seen many house designers come and go, like Karl Lagerfeld, Stella McCartney, and Phoebe Philio. Now Chloé is being threaded by renowned Paulo Melim Andersson, a 34 year old fashion genius inspiring the label into new territories and innovative directions. However, one thing will remain eternal as a Chloé woman, Confidence and Appeal! The clothing speaks volumes about the French fashion house's respect, pride, and love of women!

Who Is the Chloé Woman? "She is smart and strong. She's young now but even as she gets older she keeps her teenage nonchalance. She's confident and trusts her own judgement. The Chloé woman might break the rules but she is always true to herself."
[excerpts from Andersson's interview for Net-A-Porter.com]
