Marc Jacobs Fall 2024: A Fantastical Journey
The collection was a fantastical journey through exaggerated shapes, playful femininity, and cartoonish wonders. Inspired by the likes of Olive Oyl and the Stepford wives, Jacobs’ designs twisted and turned traditional notions of femininity into something fresh and exciting.
Playful Femininity and Cartoonish Wonders
Tulip skirts, stiff collared sweaters, and padded pumps made a statement, while ladylike looks with a twist and amplified femininity shone through in tweedy suits, twinsets, and fluted skirts. Voluminous cocktail dresses in pastel hues and abstracted A-line silhouettes added to the spectacle, reinforced by Jacobs’ signature silhouettes and nods to the ’50s.
