Marc Jacobs cited none other than a "sexy Margaret Thatcher"- the Conservative British Prime Minister in the 80's- I kid you not- as the inspiration for his typically retro themed fall collection that evoked the 70's. Though much of it looked a bit dowdy- the high points were his usually stellar line up of coats (including some wonderful takes on tweed), a narrow ivory leather jacket trimmed with pale mink, noteworthy belted knitwear, a timeless cashmere jersey wrap dress which featured a graceful skirt, jaunty cuffed menswear trousers shown with a fitted cardigan and printed bow blouse that evoked the feeling of YSL, and a much more grown up and sophisticated evening vibe than had been seen in the past. He introduced bi color jersey long goddess gowns and paired a fox chubby tied with a black satin bow over a beautiful floor length evening dress.
But don't be fooled into thinking that he himself is politically on the 'right' side. According to WWD, the week following his show, Democratic Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton paid a visit to the Bleecker Street Marc by Marc Jacobs shop in order to "personally thank" the staff for raising money for 'Friends of Hillary' via a special $65 t-shirt Jacobs designed with her likeness. And this is only the beginning of Marc's political involvement. Reportedly, next season's après show bash will be a Democratic Fund Raiser.
