New York's spring 2014 fashion week has been a snooze.
Looking through the street style photos and runway shows, you realize how there's nothing much to look at except a bunch of the same old recycled stuff done in a very bad un-Whole Foods kind of way. They weren't organic to the designer who designed them and even the models couldn't sell it even though there was an American Green Card with a bag of coke back stage waiting for them.
Reading through the fashion blogs, you can tell that they are all struggling to find something to write about this or that collection. Aside from a handful of shows like Thom Browne's crazy town collection, there really wasn't anything out there that spoke to me. In other words, everyone's shown a bunch of stuff people want to wear.
Then, you get to Senor Marc Jacobs. This crazy matador x band jacket mash up made me think of my favorite band jacket and horrible high school experience, which was both exciting and terrifying at the same time.
If this crazy woman walked towards me on the street, I would pull reverse racism and cross traffic to the other side for safety. She looks like she would tackle me while doing a Z-formation move. And this is why Marc is the pied piper of fashion.
Your brain tells you that you should HATE this look, and you would be right. But then you realize that yes, I would like a pair of beaded shorts with gladiator sandals and a Super Cuts haircut for spring. I mean, why not?
YES
Fashion is supposed to inspire you to think about how much you hate the stuff that's different, which you secretly find interesting.
NO
Please do not really wear this outfit together in real life. Get a stylist, a tailor and a paid group of sycophants to tell you how amazing it looks on you before you walk out the door (talking to you Mariah Carey, my little butterfly).
MAYBE
Boring and simple is the name of your game. Just don't expect to go pro with your basic wrap dress.
