"I was thinking about the good old days in New York," he said after the show, "when getting dressed up was such a joy" said Marc Jacobs backstage. Some of

The only filter that separated these clothes from their East Village forebears was the expensive, luxury fabrics they came in. Every girl had a different hairdo, shellacked into Mohawks, flips, and bouffants, and the makeup was straight off the album cover of Duran Duran's Rio.

This reminds me of Alexis Carrington from DYNASTY... I think its the 80's hair.

Look at the way he took a simple gray cashmere pullover unique. I love the cutout on the shoulder
Wonderful pop of color...
