Jacobs and the Lady.


LOVE THIS. I know there is a lot of GaGa hate out there, but I don't care. This the V Magazine cover for the "New York" issue. They have declared GaGa their muse... and then just added Marc Jacobs to cover. But Jacobs and GaGa make perfect sense together. Check out this description, from www.stylelist.com, of his Fall line at Fashion Week:
There were no bells and whistles this season, cardboard was literally stapled to the walls. The centerpiece was a large scale box, covered in brown paper. When the clock struck 8, exactly, Jacobs and his business partner Robert Duffy pulled the wrapping off to reveal the show's 56 models standing inside.The models walked out one-by-one to a romantic remix of "Over the Rainbow." The all gray opening looks (a popular shade so far this season) indicated that Jacobs wasn't going for his usual colorful hybrid mash-up, but intended to channel the menswear trend instead.
Initially serious, the mood shifted toward fantasy. It seemed almost as if a modern, professional woman was time traveling back to her childhood and her beloved games of dress-up as piece after piece became gradually more fanciful than the prior.

This was also briefly shown on Rachel Zoe this summer. VERY COOL. Check out some of his pieces from that collection.

I love the bow dress. How pretty!
