For Fall ’14, gloves for added warmth to hands

may be of secondary consideration,

as the  ‘to fingers and beyond’  length sweater sleeves

have the job covered.

…

Go for over-all body super size sweater,

note examples from The Row collection, or

stay slim in body and long at sleeve, as presented by Marc Jacobs.

Whatever the body fit, get on trend with super-length sleeve sweaters

for a bit of added knitwear dimension.

With New Year’s Eve festivities and celebrations less than a fortnight away,

time for deciding on the night’s party attire has arrived.

As always there’s a variety of on-trend options from which to choose.

…

For 2013 why not consider an NYEFF ensemble:

(New Year’s Eve Feather Fashion)

…

Feathers are au courant for the a/w 2013 season.

Seen on many runway shows

as the main material and as a decorative accessory,

feathers are more than fashion flight of fancy

but are a fashion firm choice:

Fun

Flirty

Flounce

Flow

Fabulous

key words for the perfect NYE outfit –

this year say it with feathers.

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 .

Louise Brooks,

figure fit metallic loungewear with fur trimmed coat

…

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.

…

He too sports jim jam attire,

wearing the above striped shirt/trouser set

to the launch party for the

bottle wrappings he designed for Diet Coke.

…

Marc Jacobs Pyjama/Lounge Wear Fashion Marquee:

Matching trousers with tops:

lapel and pocket squared

bespoke fit

subtle patterns/prints

 …

Full length simple, yet alluring gowns:

 draped with fur stole/cape-let

figure skimming

silk soft

light material presented in :

 lame gold-rush and silver screen hued fabrics …

the total  gin and tonic effect

…

Skirt with at knee options

and matching blouses;

Barely there pyjama -top dresses;

Glitzy/shiny pieces in rich berry and jewel tones

…

For those a bit less full-on fashion fierce …

the collection offers eye-catching outerwear:

total cover or  just a tease

…

Dare to wear lux jim jams by day?    Yes please … sound the sirens.

And we’re back circa 1992, when grunge made its runway debut

The process of any artistic development is not linear –

a straight progression from one starting point to end,

but cyclical, a steady reflection on what came before.

For the s/s 1992 collection, the designer Marc Jacobs,

(Marc Jacobs, back in the day, 1992)

…

then the creative mind of the Perry Ellis label,

introduced grunge wear to the fashion world.

Grunge …

 musicality of hard rock/punk, angst lyrics, dress of tattered thrift store finds,

emerged from the Pacific Northwest city of Seattle, Washington-

had in one season morphed from a

term of underground to that of mainstream.

It was not the first, nor would it be the last that

a music genre and a street style

served as muse for runway fashion.

Although the grunge-inspired collection received praise from the public

and in the press, Mr. Jacobs was fired from Perry Ellis …

No worries though … today he is the creative director of Luis Vuitton

and designs under his eponymous label – Marc Jacobs

and his diffusion line – Marc by Marc Jacobs …

as in  grunge wear … not too shabby, at all.
