like a walking Lula magazine

Greetings and salutations! It is I, Technologically Challenged Individual With Difficulties Setting Up Internet In Hotel Rooms Until Now. Meet my friend back at home, Computer That Blocked All Google-Related Stuff For Reasons Unknown And Therefore Wouldn't Let Me Update This Blog Before I Left For New York. You can call that one "Frustrating" for short.

Lots to say! Lots to write. Let's start with Marc while it's fresh in my mind.via wwd

To cut it to the chase, I was gasping through most of the looks at Marc Jacobs tonight (until I realized how it kind of disrupted the whole dreamy quiettimes vibez, and stopped.) How could I not, really -- furs and sunglasses in pastels and neutrals, ankle-length slips with slingback flats, and soft knits all draped on the girls gliding across the cardboard-clad runway to a soundtrack of Somewhere Over the Rainbow. The fabrics moved nicely. The models resembled the tiny graceful figurines that spin in an opened jewelry box, or the human sums of numerous collages crafted by young dreamers out of magazine clippings and backyard finds. There was a clear air of foggy nostalgia that drifted throughout the room, clinging to coattails in shades of pale yellow and grey.

But this ain't no cheap, vintage-redux shit -- velvets, over-the-elbow leather gloves, and different patterns for fur brought the silk slips and Marianne Faithfull styles to our time and day, and with the update came a quiet power; a type of hopefulness and willingness to move on from a bittersweet yearning. This added mystery reminded me of a lady Bob Dylan might sing about, or a character from The Westing Game, and just further proved that power doesn't have to be conveyed through the overly aggressive but underwhelming black-leather-studs formula that's been popular for a few seasons now. Marc Jacobs frequently talks about how he wants to see young girls having fun with clothes, and he expressed to me how excited he was about the models this season because they all had personality and individual style. A bandwagon I'd love for more people to hop on! If a nostalgic look is done right, in it can be found strength supported merely by the confidence to be so blatantly excited about clothing, and the mysteries one can create with this tool at their disposal.

Some powers really can only be found in grey, 3/4ths-length, woolen skirts.

Having fun with clothes should definitely be the essence of fashion. Lovely post :)

You described the show in such a re comforting manner :)

Have a fun day

i loved it. my favourite was the mustard sweater with the slinky skirt.i think it wasnt so much about a new style but more of recreating a new look from the past seasons. i am glad that you had the opportunity to go for the show.

Alexander Wang and bellissima Custo Barcelona were my favourite until now, Custo rocks

One of my instructors used to work with Marc and Tom Ford years ago in New York. We were actually talking about Marc today. It was brought up that Marc Jacobs was banning celebs from his runway shows, and my instructor thought that that was a good idea, but he wasn't sure if Marc was doing it for the right reasons. I guess Marc used to be really "normal" and just didn't really give a damn what people though, but over the years that changed? I don't know though, I really can't say. I don't know the guy personally. But anyways, your post brought that to mind.

Lovers, Saints & Sailors said...

Awesome to see slips back on the runway.
I've been trying to bring them back single handedly but it's nice to have Marc on board now.

Sonia said...

Really good review! I don't know why so many people doubt a 13 year old can write that good.

I've been sat up really late watching Marc's how being streamed live, lucky you being there in person!

What other shows are you scheduled to go to (haha that I can be jealous of!) Or is that a secret?

Well have fun at fashion week :)

on the other hand...for me...the collection is a bit granny-ish (oops...)It would be nice if the styling fused with a little bit young...(just in the middle..not too old and not too young)....like; wedges on ankle length dress...flatforms with socks...just to give confusing yet fabulous feeling of the look...

Great review- and I really like the photo you've chosen to illustrate it. Classic silouhettes always work well, and I've just devoted a part of my latest blog post to long skirts! Funnily enough, I ust bought a 3/4 length Jaeger grey and black tartan wool skirt from a charity shop, and was thinking about putting it with ankle socks.
I know I already emailed a reply, but I really appreciated your response to my message.
Oh, and I just bought a French Vogue, not realising that it was the one with an article about you in it. I am now practising my french skills by attempting to see how much of I can translate and understand! It is certainly an incentive to learn French- reading french vogue (+other magazines), french blogs and watching french films. Haaha.
Hope you've been enjoying Fashion week.

It seems the 'so-called' fashionista Perez Hilton has made it his buisness to comment on your blog, via his "fashon blog" cocoperez.com. (A blog where he posts photos of celebs in garb, and ridicules them) Just wanted to say, do not listen to this overweight, bitter famewhore. His post is dripping with jealousy and his sense of style is atrocious and tacky. You are far more readable, lovable, talented and fashionable that that coward. XX

Unknown said...

I managed to slide into my computer chair just in time for the show to start via live stream.

I think you've really captured the essence of the show perfectly. You have a unique voice and take on fashion that I never would have had at your age, nor do I think I have five years later.

I hope you go far <3

Tavi, wonderfully written. You have worked very hard to get the opportunity to see a show like that live; in fact to be invited. It must be very satisfying for you.
I also read some of the comments from your discussion from the blog forum in NYC. I think you made some fantastic points. You make writing about fashion seem easy, which everyone knows it isnt. I cant imagine the talent you will have in 10 years!!! I will be following your blog on a regular basis from now on.
Great work.

I like your interpretation. I wish I had been at the show. It sound so surreal. I read about it on style.com and was in aww. I bet it was kind of mystical having such a happy/strange song from none other than the wizard of oz playing while models stared out at the crowd after they were able to be seen. so strange but also interesting. Marc Jacobs and his team are so creative. I love how the fashion designers today are really making statements with their shows. Marc Jacobs was also more than a statement. he didn't just do something totally strange to get his point across but something traditional. I loved it.

I have a sweater that Marc designed when he used to work at a store in NYC called Charivari. The sweater(s) were his graduation project from Parsons. If you want, email me and I will send you a picture of it. It looks a lot like the early knits of Rei Kawakubo and Yohji, oversized and stretched out. Oddly, (or maybe not oddly) it looks just as fresh today!

Marc Jacobs is a master of all that is British and edgy, he can make the most high fashion wearable and I'm loving his 40s warchild collection - that's what it makes me think of, British children jumping off a steam train heading through the fields to their new safe haven. Jacobs and Chanel are my favourites, old fashioned modernity and the ultimate in luxury and elegance. Yes please. And I'll be very jealous if you, Tavi, are at the Marchesa show.

Tavi- please don't jump on the fur bandwagon. Fashion is a happy, fun, creative thing- fur is torture, death, skinning while alive and anal/vaginal electrocution. There is nothing redeeming about it. Faux furs have come a long way and there is no reason to kill animals for clothing. Fashion should not take lives. In a more recent post you gush about your dog, but truthfully, many furs which are sold as raccoon are actually dog. Neiman Marcus was just successfully sued for selling dog fur which was labeled raccoon.

Fashion is inspirational and fun. Please keep it that way and don't support fur use.

The fools who say you don't write your own blog are feeling a little heat, no? (as Karl would say)

When I was 8, I won a poetry contest (ooh!), and the teacher wouldn't give me the prize (a bag of candy ;) because she said I "couldn't have possibly written it" myself, "it was too good."

Such was my introduction to the writing profession: 1. jealousy, 2. threats of plagiarism, and 3.
everyone's a critic, 4. my mom was pissed at how they treated me. LOL

I recognize a little of my braver, younger self in your writing, as I'm sure many do. That's why it's so enjoyable. You do have your own completely unique voice, though. I hope you run a magazine someday, or whatever it is you wish to do. Go all J.D. Salinger.

I looooved the robot/alien hair. Or did you say it was Grey Gardens? Either one is a fitting tribute to your attendance at the shows.

Go on with your bad self! LOL

Love,

Beka
