It’s been almost a year and a half since Marc Jacobs first showed his Spring 2012 Collection for Louis Vuitton. But, as usual, sometimes it takes the rest of the world a while to catch up…
So for Spring 2013, it seems retailers are embracing his girlish mood with open arms. Embroidery, eyelet, lace, head to toe pastels – it’s all fair game. To keep it looking modern (and not like you’re 8 and it’s Easter Sunday) try a few tricks. First, go monochromatic – or at least tone on tone. One color dressing is huge right now, so instead of pink and yellow and mint, stick to just one. Second, go heavy on textures. An eyelet skirt with a lace collar and a perforated bag is perfect (as long as you stick to the aforementioned one color palette rule, even better if it’s all in white). And finally, add a bit a of flash with metallic accessories. A glitter hairband and futuristic metallic heel are just the thing.
