1920s inspired, autumn/winter 2013, Louise Brooks, Marc Jacobs, pyjama-loungewear fashion, ready to wear, silent film star
There is something wonderfully, luxuriously decadent about
wearing pyjama/lounge pieces as day, outdoor attire.
It seems excitingly reminiscent of
old Hollywood – before talkies; and the
glamourous starlets – such as silent film beauty Louise Brooks
who during the roaring ’20s,
was an loungewear wardrobed
on-screen enchantress .

The affect of ’20s style pyjama-dress –
carefree, charismatic-charged, indulgent comfort…
was an inspiration for the
seductive a/w collection presented by
Marc Jacobs
The designer who in the ’90s
transported grunge wear
from the streets to the runway;
now provocatively, yet elegantly
takes pyjama-wear from in-doors
to the wide- open.
