The collections from 2003 to 2009 S/S are picked up for the analysis.<br /><br />At the initial stage of the semester, without a little knowledge to the colour theory, i found that it is hard to undergo the analysis. Since lots of colour, which look almost the "same", are applied on the whole collections for every years, i felt confused. It seems that every years are the same and no specific outcome can be concluded.<br /><br />However, when time goes, i learn more about the colour theory, knowing that hue and colour are different! For hue refers to a pure color, while colour can be a same hue of different tint, shade, value, saturation! I started to analyze the collections differently, not only by how many hue, but also focus on the differences on value, saturation, tint and shade. I analyzed the 2004 and 2009 S/S collections, by applying the colour theory to make conclusion. I extracted the colour palette from the clothing and plotted the colour on the colour wheels to show the distribution of the colour each year. It is interesting to notice that some patterns can be observed, such as complementary, analogy etc. I learn how to apply colour harmoniously for the whole collection base on these theory now.<br /><br />Before the presentation of the group researh, we wrongly thought that black, grey and white are the colours that Marc Jacobs likes to ultilize. In fact, it seems to be a MUST in every other brands too. It is because the brand need to care about each of its customers for the commercial reason. Some people may feel awful to accept a new colour combination, or they just want to locate at the safety point. As a result, i found that achromatic colour is less worthy to analyze and turned back my focus to the colour with saturation.<br /><br />While predicting the F/W collection of 2009, i also found that not only the data collected can have effect on the colour forecasting, but also the social culture, designer background, countries etc. Also, while predicting the colour, we should also think of what we want to express. It should be lots of consideration, like" Why i choose this colour?", "What colours i am using?", "How to combine the colour in one single outfit or even a whole collection?", "Which tone should i use in a single hue?", " Who should i design for?", "In which occassion they will dress?"............. Also, we have to deal with the relationship and ratio between each colour since it can affect the whole feeling of the collection. For more detailed, please see the post <strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">"Colour forcasting of fashion trend of Marc Jacobs 2009 F/W Women RTW (1) & (2) on 8th & 27th November</span>.</strong><br /><br />In this collection, i would like to bring out a feeling of sedate. It is sure that the economic crisis have the big impact on the globe. So that the people would be down for the coming year. For the fabric, knitted wear are mostly used to show the the feeling of sedate. However, i would like to use warm colour to show the optimist towards this challenge. Also, flare is used for each single outfit to balance the feeling of sedate. Therefore, complementary are used in this collection for the harmony of colour.07176470dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15745333458660079702noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3984526538219718395.post-22509393470847472008-11-27T19:20:00.000-08:002008-11-28T08:35:08.578-08:00Colour forcasting of fashion trend of Marc Jacobs 2009 F/W Women RTW (2)<div><br /><div><br /><div><br /><div>Initial draft:<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmbZbv2xNbe7pzOt6KFXPed5bb2BblYngDGdhH6ejYpXzSR4KBy0fK9IPoqTCEgqO_y6qoEOae_EGIEeAPUG2swaupUJ6RmL8yVe4D3zkfAm1x1nkbbtjB_FmOXY4IqyF-jC_iceGor38/s1600-h/3.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273742676234819026" style="DISPLAY: block;

BLACK,<span style="color:#c0c0c0;"> <span style="color:#ffffff;">WHITE,</span> GREY</span> are the must.<br /><br />There are some explanation for the conclusion.<br />Colour scheme with more hue is used since nowaday consumers have an increasing cultural unity and personal commitments to have a better environment. People is becoming more optimistic and they are more receptive to bright, layered colors, contrasted with earthy, neutral tones.<br /><br />For the achromatic colour, they MUST be presented in each collection due to the comerical reason. Each people have difference perception to the colours. For some people they may like the colour that someone hate most. It is common for different people to accept different colours. As a result, black and white colour must be presents due to the colourless. It is easy for mix and match. Also, people do not need to worry about the wrong matching of colour. For consumer, they can buy the clothing with no reason for lacking of the colour they like.<br /><br />So, in conclusion, for the fall-winter of 2009, there is a high tendency of high number of hues used in his collection. Artifical colours such as <span style="color:#ff6666;">salmon rose</span>, rose dust<span style="color:#cc0000;">, fushia red,</span> <span style="color:#000066;">sapphire</span>, <span style="color:#993399;">violet</span> <span style="color:#ffffff;">will still be used for the following season but with a lower value. However, light colour likes lavender, super lemon may not be used.<br /><br />Also, we should also base on the social issues to make the colour forecasting.<br /></span><span style="color:#000000;"><br /></span><span style="color:#ffffff;"><strong>I notice that there are some societal trends, with the first one is the optimist. P</strong><strong>eople have begun to take personal responsibility for environmental issues, making positive changes to improve the world we share. As a result, colour scheme with greater hue is used to show the positive feeling which mean life is colourful and beautiful. </strong><strong>Also, strong saturated hues including</strong> sapphire, pumpking orange and leap green. Each color is strong and independent, but works well when balanced with other colors in the palette. The colour scheme comes up with flashy and bright accents originating from the hope of human.<br /></span><br />Also, due to the present of the global financial crisis, there would be a great chance of the designers to use colour tone with lower value to presnet the sad feeling.</div>07176470dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15745333458660079702noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3984526538219718395.post-40739266780067350132008-11-08T04:45:00.000-08:002008-11-08T22:57:05.356-08:0007176470dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15745333458660079702noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3984526538219718395.post-55542928124166191142008-11-04T12:51:00.000-08:002008-11-23T13:53:46.835-08:00Class exercise 2Here is the class exercise no. 2 which required student to colour the following fashion boutique by applying the colour theories and principles.<br /><br /><br />Here is the classwork at the initial stage of the lesson.<br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGbm7cOLlOsAkIDxwXLz_6oFgEuFajXJW3zLzsb8MPhZRDJsIbKrlQ6kTXPHYRWCPMGnpTZxYwS_29Hfov5qwGjB4HGCv0xJTE_Op5Bqa8o5yhZaTwze7FJHrbRov4Xa2XWdVerpbuwqU/s1600-h/cw2_1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5271972232781542434" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 190px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGbm7cOLlOsAkIDxwXLz_6oFgEuFajXJW3zLzsb8MPhZRDJsIbKrlQ6kTXPHYRWCPMGnpTZxYwS_29Hfov5qwGjB4HGCv0xJTE_Op5Bqa8o5yhZaTwze7FJHrbRov4Xa2XWdVerpbuwqU/s400/cw2_1.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><br /><br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv1UZoj5FbZyUMGmACormnyRAUsXnfMf51b2wnT7a_lHAWwPdLLVfdxASNN2KSstjyYbU1nJ3nC9gCX-1aMIItOQzFU1nvvDiOJ665hUKHDP73lf1kKR2K2hCg-s7fbh5vGYqN9b35BgQ/s1600-h/cw2_2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5271972224770855298" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 273px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv1UZoj5FbZyUMGmACormnyRAUsXnfMf51b2wnT7a_lHAWwPdLLVfdxASNN2KSstjyYbU1nJ3nC9gCX-1aMIItOQzFU1nvvDiOJ665hUKHDP73lf1kKR2K2hCg-s7fbh5vGYqN9b35BgQ/s400/cw2_2.jpg" border="0" /></a> Descriptions and explanations:</p><p>Brown is the colour tone of this boutique to give a natural feeling.

This is used for its <strong>simplicity and also easy to match.</strong> Black seems to be a <strong>safety colour</strong> for most of the colour to <strong>prevent wrong matching</strong>. Also, it can give the model to look more slender. The colour tone is very <strong>commerical</strong>.</p><p><br /><br />After listened to robert's introduction to the usage of the 6-blocks colour, i applied the other colour scheme to the collection.</p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcqBMxLkZFRcd2SeEUcsK5pV1rMfmWIw6yihdzgFVu1zBMzghwq8krr3Y2bLCrvm8ZE3n4B6VceKUP6oJPGt59y20HpqLkH7cMkumQ7JcFO_bvrYn10a7H7RuXkIAuv49EXIGpEyI2XXQ/s1600-h/cw1_3.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5271954055410744626" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 265px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcqBMxLkZFRcd2SeEUcsK5pV1rMfmWIw6yihdzgFVu1zBMzghwq8krr3Y2bLCrvm8ZE3n4B6VceKUP6oJPGt59y20HpqLkH7cMkumQ7JcFO_bvrYn10a7H7RuXkIAuv49EXIGpEyI2XXQ/s400/cw1_3.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5271954060908606274" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 314px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYQE4xNQtRBYPCiVImuCujBaxpJJYuyXpAQiIJoYIk2AjXfu5URNOrIAhxKfG8qP6PzfwaPLcDS626tPxVVw83rP7BmID7eZ9G-EWxwkpf3MdcoBibThj9iwi_r3-aeBSYxhr8ypzL0mk/s400/cw1_4.jpg" border="0" /></div><br /><p>Description and explanations:</p><p>Previously I neglect of the<strong> skin's colour</strong> of the model. We should care about the skin colour of the model too. Notice that<strong> sharp colour and light colour</strong> can have a <strong>great contrast</strong> with the tone of the skin, which is black, to<strong> emphasis</strong> on both of the model and the clothing. We should also aware about the season of dressing. Imaging that it is in the occassion of <strong>summer,</strong> which is a very<strong> hot and sunny</strong> day, then <strong>warm colour</strong> such as <strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">red</span>, <span style="color:#ff6600;">orange</span> and <span style="color:#ffff66;">yellow</span></strong> are used. <strong>Analogous colour scheme</strong> is used by applying the 6-blocks colouration to create a sense of<strong> harmony</strong>.</p>07176470dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15745333458660079702noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3984526538219718395.post-38843260011468769702008-10-26T10:05:00.000-07:002008-11-22T04:54:36.029-08:00Marc Jacobs - 2003 S/S to 2009 S/S Women RTW - Conclusion<a onmouseover="window.status='Popup'; return true;" href="javascript:openFashionSlideshow(" event="show948&designer=design_house57&trend=&iphoto=52')""></a><br /><br />We come up with the following conclusions:<br /><br />1. MJ is using more hues these years.<br />2. achromatic colors : black, white and grey must be present in each season's collection<br />3. a simple combination is adopted. for each outfit,the no. of colour is usually not more than 3.<br />4. MJ likes to use artificial colors.<br />5. MJ uses colors of high saturation every season, but the amount decreases in recent seasons.<br />6. Spring and Fall colors are related. the colors used in Fall collection are usually the colors of spring collection in a lower value ( with shade).<br />7. there is a trend that MJ tends to use colors in lower values.<br />8. MJ loves lavender , violet, brilliant red, turquoise, yellowish brown, khaki. they almost appear in every collection. BLACK, WHITE, GREY are the must.07176470dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15745333458660079702noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3984526538219718395.post-7462692656892380032008-10-25T04:42:00.000-07:002008-11-22T04:51:02.358-08:00Marc Jacobs - 2008 S/S & F/W Women RTW - Comparison with competitor2008 Christian Dior Fall /Winter<br /><br /><p><a href="javascript:openFashionSlideshow(" event="show1702&designer=design_house27&trend=&iphoto=0')""></a><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5271462971337747378" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 380px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeCXZq-QHQu17Y40PbDblBB_ZYFUxpp_ISaDJEraSG0T2mLU3T-T4W-Cxz55y-Z24jFSNP-4c9ZqpBv4OO4MmZyRtZnxz713SCdTLFQnc3nbZrSAOowLZYKJcu5MeLQ1H54lbd-zfR43g/s400/08_2.JPG" border="0" /><br /><a href="http://www.style.com/fashionshows/complete/F2008RTW-CDIOR?viewall=true"></a><a href="javascript:openFashionSlideshow(" event="show1702&designer=design_house27&trend=&iphoto=1')""></a><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5271462965451761954" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 216px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_6Pc8EBZmZO4BY0py9fwSUmhKADkht55Aixnpp5y0KzLk0snHyT4Wtnij8Wu5-fjBBhWstH-J7s1n6LTUALho92jHJzoHb_hfVGndqfU-SxugKJ1CHBUsv2DSfkJ2lPrxPf3BWX7booA/s400/08_1.JPG" border="0" /><br /><a href="http://www.style.com/fashionshows/complete/F2008RTW-CDIOR?viewall=true"></a><a href="javascript:openFashionSlideshow(" event="show1702&designer=design_house27&trend=&iphoto=2')""></a><br /><a href="http://www.style.com/fashionshows/complete/F2008RTW-CDIOR?viewall=true"></a>Colour: Shocking Red, Shocking Pink, Sharp Orange, Sharp Purple , dark Turquoise, yellowish-khaki , black, white</p><p>fabrics : Satin, Fur, Silk</p><p>comparison : both of the collection involved a lot of black and white, while grey is the color that Jacobs always love.

That was Marc Jacobs himself, addressing the audience from the stage (stage, not runway) at 7:11 p.m. At 7:17, as Kevin Federline was still taking his seat in one of the makeshift, nightclub-style VIP booths not far from Selma Blair, Gretchen Mol, and Helena Christensen, Sonic Youth struck the first dissonant chord of "Jams Run Free," and Jacobs' first model walked out past the band. She wore a shawl-collar pouch-back coat in a shade that looked like camel, although we can't say for sure, concert lighting not being the best kind to illuminate such details. (One thing was immediately clear—whether he shows on a Friday or a Monday, it's always going to be an event.)<br /></div><div>The day switch and that revolutionary mere-17-minutes-behind-schedule start time weren't the only changes since last season. If Spring was all about sex, overt sex specifically, this show—his old friend Kim Gordon's gyrations notwithstanding—had a willfully sedate quality.</div><div> </div><div>Afterward, when asked about his inspirations, Jacobs replied, "I really wasn't very inspired this season. I just live my life." OK. When pressed, he offered a few more words: "Calm. Glamour. Casual. Beautiful women." Vague as that sounds, it was in fact an apt description for a collection that hinted at the eighties of Jacobs' early days in New York. It was there in the puffy headbands the models wore around their foreheads and the clubby atmosphere inside the Armory (some said it gave them Regine's, though the set's menacing scaffolding and the unsettling<strong> black-and-white images</strong> that played on a screen behind the band also suggested a more downtown environment). And it was there in the <strong>palette of soft pastels and grays </strong>and the relaxed (in terms of shape, not sensibility), somewhat masculine cut of the classic clothes.</div><div> </div><div>Jacobs showed plain-front button-downs with straight skirts; almost preppy popcorn-knit sweaters with narrow shorts; a cashmere sweater that spelled out HARDCORE paired with baggy leather pants; and a thigh-length bomber over a full, shin-grazing skirt. But his big focus was jackets and coats, many of which came with vertical folds of fabric gathered in the back above wide, hip-slung sashes. Dresses, too, came with pronounced volumes at the back. For evening, their stiff folds were replaced by gold or silver lamé pantsuits (paging Loulou de la Falaise) and drippy bias-cut velvet gowns.</div><div> </div><div>Was this collection, in its relative tameness and intriguing air of sexless safety, a rebuff of sorts to last season's detractors, who reprimanded Jacobs as much for his off-the-wall collection as for his perennial lateness? Could be. These clothes are challenging for different reasons than were the difficult transparent pieces he featured for Spring, but they'll be no less coveted. As for the show's accessories, women everywhere will have Jacobs to thank when other designers follow his lead and start producing a lower heel. That's the power of Jacobs' mystique.<br /></div><div></div>07176470dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15745333458660079702noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3984526538219718395.post-18946417325370432622008-10-25T03:56:00.000-07:002008-11-22T04:05:23.515-08:00Marc Jacobs - 2008 S/S Women RTW<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIZYeb4spditA9Fy3lVol_FQ3LVpo3cVrvcPUrOm1CzgQ2nmwhucyE5W1EHbbtj-6pqUYvJrztEqdOUjgQhSFzklrC6FPniuKb3rfw0LXIibwzNQBNR3FuXdSdUMwrBakpSJ4TBB2ItSA/s1600-h/08_SS_2.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5271449701226385330" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 387px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIZYeb4spditA9Fy3lVol_FQ3LVpo3cVrvcPUrOm1CzgQ2nmwhucyE5W1EHbbtj-6pqUYvJrztEqdOUjgQhSFzklrC6FPniuKb3rfw0LXIibwzNQBNR3FuXdSdUMwrBakpSJ4TBB2ItSA/s400/08_SS_2.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg76p1LryoBs3VdttdlndOBfvEQg0WneJ-7rUQVYWhZ2JWg3zwkG1uZac7Bv_n8pVDx25UO66byK5TkUvrc7Hu4xcuhLJ7lQDaBR6tNtMvw1WwpCut3APS9meqTqolWBryjfaebUuZlhPc/s1600-h/08_SS_1.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5271449693904934594" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 276px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg76p1LryoBs3VdttdlndOBfvEQg0WneJ-7rUQVYWhZ2JWg3zwkG1uZac7Bv_n8pVDx25UO66byK5TkUvrc7Hu4xcuhLJ7lQDaBR6tNtMvw1WwpCut3APS9meqTqolWBryjfaebUuZlhPc/s400/08_SS_1.JPG" border="0" /></a> Reference:<a href="http://www.style.com/fashionshows/review/S2008RTW-MJACOBS/">http://www.style.com/fashionshows/review/S2008RTW-MJACOBS/</a><br /><br /><div>NEW YORK, September 10, 2007<br />By Nicole Phelps</div><div></div><div>At 11 p.m., precisely two hours after his official starting time, Marc Jacobs surprised his audience by running out onto his Stefan Beckman-designed set for a quick bow. Next came the music, Ravel's Boléro, and out filed the models in finale formation. Then here was the first girl (or rather the last, because by now it was clear this extraordinary show was unspooling backward, starting with look 56 and running down to one). She wore a "silly-string guipure gown," her satin under-things peeking out and her heels perched on top of her "too-small pumps." Behind her, an image of the model in nothing but the bra and panties she wore underneath her outfit was projected on two large screens.</div><div></div><div>Jacobs collaborated with the video artist Charles Atlas to create the film that played simultaneously with the show. They shot the piece Sunday evening, and Atlas spent the whole night in the editing booth finishing it. As for the clothes and accessories, they were just as off-kilter and knock-your-socks-off as the production, with a bonkers surrealist streak. Trompe l'oeil underwear decorated georgette slipdresses, the heels of pumps protruded not from the heel at all but from the ball of the foot, and three-dimensional quilted leather bags were grafted onto square totes. Transparency was a key theme, too: Cashmere sweaters were inset with sheer panels at the waist, and reconstructed black bugle-bead evening dresses came suspended from their nude linings. Gimmicky? You bet. But also fascinating. If you want normal or tame, you're going to have to look on a different runway. Even the suits came with hip-high slits—though, this being Jacobs, the effect was just as often gawky and awkward as it was provocative.</div><div></div><div>So what was it all about? With most of the models in varying stages of dishabille, Jacobs appeared to be saying something conceptual about the process of getting dressed—or getting undressed—but he was typically vague backstage. "It's cartoon versions of all the women I know—conservative types, vamps, everybody," he allowed. From the looks of two number-emblazoned team-jersey T-shirt dresses that appeared on his runway, there are footballers' wives in the designer's inner circle along with all of those rockers and artists. One thing's for certain: He's moved on from last season's bourgeois austerity. This sublime performance was about sex, which is one of the reasons why we couldn't look away. </div></div>07176470dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15745333458660079702noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3984526538219718395.post-55414978632813366532008-10-24T04:09:00.000-07:002008-11-22T04:14:58.625-08:00Marc Jacobs - 2007 F/W Women RTW - Details<div><div>Marc Jacobs has a full range of Fall/ Winter collection in 2007 and continued showing his flavour in vintage.<br />This time, he has chosen to bring 70s back on stage again. Those hats, long coats, ribbed sweaters, trousers with loose stirrups and last but mot least, the jumpsuits, were fancy stuffs of that time. However, when they were in the multi-colours and matching the super-slim silhouette, new images were emerged.<br /><br />According to <a href="http://www.style.com/fashionshows/review/F2007RTW-MJACOBS">Nicole Phelps</a>, Marc Jacobs said that the collection is a reflection of his personal life and feeling, called it restraint. Therefore, sharp colours are less and the proportion of black & grey increased. Those sharp colours in the collections were all tertiary colours in the red and the yellow hues. There are mainly orange, dark red, dark purple and yellowish orange.<br />Following are part of the collection. The main colour being used are picked out.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggoZcwDmBdDLo0N0Mkh0CGHfLQ4rWxdJBoGcjBFp5SEFsHA4PjQX479M57AUec8U2b3krOV3KCW7IGhwqo2Vtefl5i5dURCjwOzEDnYyAOC7dhxTE0jp7YgUmaKocqkp6HTXQxmPTD/s1600-h/Marc03.jpg"></a><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5271454094850756786" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 338px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZKAtIRgSDkrET0OKmboTTVTn6df1vfx5fex4vgMLnUFRFPrHUYp-fkC_JdW5JEWpnfsMiAaAU7WTBsI_6_7GMJm0fZ3MN5MWWrz1DuKqCov6nFYplwWTaMHuPIQlN3WKpbeI3q0jSUJg/s400/07_FW_3.JPG" border="0" /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCs_gLTnKWY1d5LWhnzt1pvi9F7-i5eIvUPSrsXUrqhOiTGRsGAI-Pj4mLErM90qZHLFdl8Z-WpOtmxUPJ_UBTyB52W9V6abXl-lqWP8DBBQ4FnbdFGk-XBeOOeCwmZ3p1szLKouen/s1600-h/Marc04.jpg"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7TKP7WrgP3pggaQCT_FvYUkJ9HEgEOpqO1RZB-DChdOWYpAL8In9wFHa2VnesCLIMqqbJBKa9LXduRsdKNRB8vNmEmHttA5CvEKbu4-3dI2ZhvNjtmOzozU9QY7233Jz7auWso-CO/s1600-h/Marc05.jpg"></a><br />Main Colour Board for the FW 2007 Collection<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-o5DC7H-cjfVCC43LPqbxSu_Wa4UplzNE3lXWW_OqCLOcUOE_eEfUJHtvO_7nNa23J7ZPnmAi6QIInWkXIVO4kcqyRmaEBgTJtDsbx6UH-hfMQYL1JH0kiIcI9U6mi-prmw0rlIqi/s1600-h/Mar-Mc.jpg"></a> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5271454097340632802" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 325px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 178px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiDiBn4FBXqzi4i7Lp78my0-fWEf4tzKUmV7xJuCtnbkjwyqGOPPK0urAjnpaQ-4jiJ52oB0c9vTdvV-m_cuTbX97tJTZG9pQPKZnprzB6DsNTmO_8qGyCrajs2nIYXorlgtB_041rnS8/s400/07_FW_4.JPG" border="0" /></div></div>07176470dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15745333458660079702noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3984526538219718395.post-43222427198005846582008-10-24T03:52:00.000-07:002008-11-22T03:53:53.308-08:00Marc Jacobs - 2007 S/S Women RTW<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEttNYl_jBaurmY93JvsCfmz0SELAwOX9otb9qdxnKlKL4bn1rurWAgBnt02F7bMVaCDUF3BkuZzdiwnZfAt-NoNvomGWfVCTrrbW4nbkp_t_At44NNCbktO5yztuzSZxo38Ju_ezd_4E/s1600-h/07_SS_2.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5271448638968680450" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 297px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEttNYl_jBaurmY93JvsCfmz0SELAwOX9otb9qdxnKlKL4bn1rurWAgBnt02F7bMVaCDUF3BkuZzdiwnZfAt-NoNvomGWfVCTrrbW4nbkp_t_At44NNCbktO5yztuzSZxo38Ju_ezd_4E/s400/07_SS_2.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdAmMMcdxWgSsR5D4cn53eyWaev6Bh5Fz-LZkB7ujE5WVgvh-ZD3jvsUbdMFxkMbU8K5qDkPHT-hzIzrsxYwH4XUs0lLjhWLyL0ceSj7gNyFpVFAJtFkz7Nziv-Q5BgWszKZvENVfXs28/s1600-h/07_SS_1.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5271448638966065586" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 272px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdAmMMcdxWgSsR5D4cn53eyWaev6Bh5Fz-LZkB7ujE5WVgvh-ZD3jvsUbdMFxkMbU8K5qDkPHT-hzIzrsxYwH4XUs0lLjhWLyL0ceSj7gNyFpVFAJtFkz7Nziv-Q5BgWszKZvENVfXs28/s400/07_SS_1.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Reference:<a href="http://www.style.com/fashionshows/review/S2007RTW-MJACOBS">http://www.style.com/fashionshows/review/S2007RTW-MJACOBS</a></div><div> </div><div>NEW YORK, September 11, 2006<br />By Nicole Phelps</div><div> </div><div>Pachelbel's Canon, even Brian Eno's version, isn't the sort of music you expect at a runway show. And a bucolic backdrop of rolling hills behind a catwalk that, in turn, was painted lawn green and elevated over a river of mint candies isn't the kind of setting you see every day of fashion week, either. But Marc Jacobs has such a surfeit of cool, he got away with both—and then some—at a spring show that was strangely beautiful (as ever), if a little esoteric.</div><div> </div><div>Backstage, he was mum on literal inspirations, speaking instead of "light, kindness, peace, and generosity." The light part made a sort of sense. Jacobs' palette consisted of white, cream, black for contrast, and ombréd grays, with flashes of brilliant holographic sequins. And from a shirred tulle bomber jacket with a furlike appearance to a drop-waist tiered lace dress that evoked Poiret, there was a certain romance to the collection. Layered jersey tees, billowing brushstroke-stripe silk dresses, and deconstructed à la japonaise cashmeres had an appealing softness.</div><div> </div><div>But was there substance beneath the whimsy? Many of these clothes—the Arabian Nights harem pants, for example, or the tulip pants that he showed unbuttoned up the side—will be a hard sell. On the other hand, the trio of understated-by-comparison T-shirt dresses and the bags—metallic leathers and exotic skins studded with crystals as big as the bulbs on an old Times Square marquee—should keep the faithful happy. Those items are the grounding forces that allow Jacobs to indulge his flights of fancy.<br /></div><div></div>07176470dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15745333458660079702noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3984526538219718395.post-23448855411479311952008-10-23T03:53:00.000-07:002008-11-22T03:56:13.482-08:00Marc Jacobs - 2007 F/W Women RTW<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9tv3bAc_GcxOHaDIadxY1OTIUi33PUEsC3mZb1OGRBhamOnVDAhEcm82Of9y2QQvQ4XrsWxqWOtHzoeX9iS5QVYLiKNK1iyvIMuVZiCOa9FYjnAyrHLj7AjeNezzXAbkAoyvwxjnFBEQ/s1600-h/07_FW_2.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5271448964735482882" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 384px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9tv3bAc_GcxOHaDIadxY1OTIUi33PUEsC3mZb1OGRBhamOnVDAhEcm82Of9y2QQvQ4XrsWxqWOtHzoeX9iS5QVYLiKNK1iyvIMuVZiCOa9FYjnAyrHLj7AjeNezzXAbkAoyvwxjnFBEQ/s400/07_FW_2.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7PS3IOUlfbTzH1EbrFavEV7A38qdRerImD4iKaVFpLOgCTWTI4XFA_Rph1uAfM2WqdsfcEtjcAgFqyMrrdCPlKEZJRWKnMb82hIFC5IR5Fbuc18LpP5rQ8ZXcLp4WGQ7Pa5aLTOH0ggY/s1600-h/07_FW_1.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5271448959322716562" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 275px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7PS3IOUlfbTzH1EbrFavEV7A38qdRerImD4iKaVFpLOgCTWTI4XFA_Rph1uAfM2WqdsfcEtjcAgFqyMrrdCPlKEZJRWKnMb82hIFC5IR5Fbuc18LpP5rQ8ZXcLp4WGQ7Pa5aLTOH0ggY/s400/07_FW_1.JPG" border="0" /></a> Reference:<a href="http://www.style.com/fashionshows/review/F2007RTW-MJACOBS">http://www.style.com/fashionshows/review/F2007RTW-MJACOBS</a></div><div> </div><div>NEW YORK, February 5, 2007<br />By Nicole Phelps</div><div> </div><div>When the red velvet curtain finally opened, Marc Jacobs' 56 models were arrayed tableau vivant-style in front of an enormous set of French doors—the kind you might see in a Paris salon. What you noticed first were the hats. Multicolored, with knit crowns, and short or wide brims, they made the gangly teenage girls onstage hold themselves like proper ladies. Yes, fashion's favorite change agent was at it again.</div><div> </div><div>Last season's billowy layers were nowhere in sight. The collection began with a long coat, ribbed sweater, and trousers with loose stirrups that gave them a clean, sharp line. Moving on, Jacobs showed printed satin and matte jersey shirtdresses to the mid-calf, and belted alpaca tunics over slim cropped pants and knee-length skirts. There were jumpsuits straight out of the seventies. "I wanted something narrower," said the designer, describing the show's new silhouette. Duchesse satin minidresses were cut trim and A-line with a fringe of pleats at the hem, or they came draped, wrapped, and sashed from the shoulders.</div><div> </div><div>This was American sportswear, but with a European sense of impeccability. Some might call it "grown-up." Jacobs, explaining that the collection is a reflection of what's going on with him personally, called it restraint. (Though the term can hardly be used to describe the show's stacks of plastic bangles and Bakelite-heavy handbags.) One look at the designer and you're reminded that he's been spending time at the gym—those were pecs beneath his <strong>crisp blue</strong> shirt. The experiments with volume that he's been focused on in the last several collections have now gone the way of his extra weight. It might take a season for designers who've followed his lead before to catch on. But less, when it looks this chic, really is more.<br /><br /></div><div></div>07176470dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15745333458660079702noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3984526538219718395.post-48563589657007300622008-10-23T03:41:00.000-07:002008-11-22T03:51:22.455-08:00Marc Jacobs - 2006 S/S+F/W Women RTW - Comparison with compeitor<div><div>Christian Dior 2006 F/W<br /><a href="javascript:openFashionSlideshow(" event="show1425&designer=design_house27&trend=&iphoto=0')""></a><br /></div><a href="http://www.style.com/fashionshows/complete/F2006RTW-CDIOR?viewall=true"></a><a href="javascript:openFashionSlideshow(" event="show1425&designer=design_house27&trend=&iphoto=1')""></a><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5271447416012432514" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 367px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsNFB2qDRGQXr_kiXob_uHHRyDsdigGdS3A7KmlSTIUr9h3WhZdxYJxkWIYMjZO3ONkUQAICcGWMxYofYbupzNWkctUg9JVB-pr0JkJgfuxdRTcA4b85UvfubqL_V696DedN0K4NW2s3A/s400/06_FW_3.JPG" border="0" /><br /><a href="http://www.style.com/fashionshows/complete/F2006RTW-CDIOR?viewall=true"></a><a href="javascript:openFashionSlideshow(" event="show1425&designer=design_house27&trend=&iphoto=2')""></a><a href="http://www.style.com/fashionshows/complete/F2006RTW-CDIOR?viewall=true"></a><a href="javascript:openFashionSlideshow(" event="show1425&designer=design_house27&trend=&iphoto=34')""></a><a href="http://www.style.com/fashionshows/complete/F2006RTW-CDIOR?viewall=true"></a><a href="javascript:openFashionSlideshow(" event="show1425&designer=design_house27&trend=&iphoto=44')""></a><a href="http://www.style.com/fashionshows/complete/F2006RTW-CDIOR?viewall=true"></a><br /><a href="http://www.style.com/fashionshows/complete/F2006RTW-CDIOR?viewall=true"></a><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5271447416043259970" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 302px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV-0Y8SdKn84z7R7UeIA9C63GdPxyojnjR6EyZyyiekpDPSmr3bZgK26Q2c2_q2bkuZ3mUK2_aSxBmYJ53jPXiV5qeZMmTGfyN2yoMOgvIA4xAw7XNU96nH_1KlLP8jFIGdR6lGMW0OtY/s400/06_FW_4.JPG" border="0" />Color:black,white, dark brown, crimsonmetallic colorsfabrics:leather, silk, satin, fur<br /></div><div>Comparison: when CD focused on several colors, MJ seemed to stick to his favourite grey and black throughout the whole collection. the color for MJ were softer and more comfortable for eyes while those of CD were more eye-catching and metallic. <div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div>Christian Dior 2006 S/S</div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5271447414446502274" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 216px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwNO8W1Lgw7fCkMTQloEhLpQ2N_2gJLHtTVpUXtkwl8v0PAHql3JNnwVusPTxHu9Zh47cgaAU4BLAgUfnRIA6CbJnvux0GEtzKVCLNunTICLcLpxnllWxa2BvU1ik2qC_CWoY1IEukNp4/s400/06_FW_5.JPG" border="0" />Color: flesh color, champagne, pinkish purple, yellowish khaki, brown,yellowish green, pale purple, orangefabrics: silk</div><div>Comparison: both of the collections used soft fabrics such as silk. and both flesh color and khaki were used. nevertheless MJ were fond of Navy Blue and tried some metallic color such as silver. </div></div>07176470dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15745333458660079702noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3984526538219718395.post-50525232682668769382008-10-23T03:38:00.000-07:002008-11-22T03:40:34.046-08:00Marc Jacobs - 2006 S/S and F/W Women RTW - ComparisonAlthough in S/S the color were softer, both of the collection tended to use cool colors in dark shades. Colors used in S/S were repeated used in F/W, e.g. black, grey, white, military green, brown, khali and red. It appeared that MJ was quite fond of those colors. since the theme of the two collection were a bit related (both revolutionary), the color choice were related as well.<br /><br />Nevertheless, the 2 collections gave different feelings on runway. Guess why, it was contributed much by the background decoration. In S/S it was fancy purple and pink which made the atomsphere cherish and feminine. In F/W it was grey and dark, and it made people feel formal, cool a little bit grunge.07176470dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15745333458660079702noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3984526538219718395.post-55121699405006137822008-10-23T03:34:00.000-07:002008-11-22T03:36:16.113-08:00Marc Jacobs - 2006 F/W Women RTW - Analysis"It's about the places I've been, the people I know, world leaders, and winter," MJ said. Many people said it was about grunge though, a reprise of the seminal collection that lost him his job at Perry Ellis back in 1992. well, we never know, but the colors simply created this feeling.<br /><br />The checks of khali, brown and bluish grey make the pattern classics and young.Dark shade of grey, greyish blue and brown were used, matching sometimes with metallic boots or crimson skirt to make it revolutionary. the overall collection was so grey.<br /><br /> In match with dark military green, metallic brown and leopard print of bright yellowish-brown and black. Leopard print of shocking pink and black was also used too.the complementary matching of khali, military green and white was good-looking and harmonious and down-to-earth.07176470dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15745333458660079702noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3984526538219718395.post-24831909546984399842008-10-23T03:32:00.000-07:002008-11-22T03:34:26.220-08:00Marc Jacobs - 2006 S/S Women RTW - AnalysisThe theme of the 2006 S/S collection was teenage angustit started by a series of student uniforms in deep blue and and white.
