For a long time, Marc Jacobs was the most overrated designer in American fashion.
It was a love letter to all the women with personal style; unfortunately, he couldn’t capture that spirit.
Dresses were marbled and sculpted like elaborate topiaries.

Marc Jacobs has taken a step back in time with his spring 2013 clothing collection, recently showcased at Fashion Week in New York. The designer’s creations encapsulated the British Mod look of the 1960s with monochrome prints and polka dots taking over the runway.
