Following in the footsteps of the path cleared by Sportmax and Philosophy, Marc Jacobs continued Fall/Winter 2010’s depressed vibe. The music was haunting, a string quartet piece that reminded me (and several others) of the Schindler’s List soundtrack. The palette consisted of grays, blacks, and browns, with a few pops of a muted color here and there. The pale lavender dress was as exciting as this presentation became, and was an apt metaphor for the show itself. Soft and safe, like a tea party with friends at Grandma’s house, this collection was both eminently wearable and daringly conservative.
