The designer’s New York show was a journey through the archives with headwraps and bold colour leading the way
That rumours of the artistic demise of the New York fashion week legend Marc Jacobs had been vastly exaggerated was evident when Anna Wintour broke into a run on Park Avenue to make sure she arrived on time for the start of Jacobs’ show. Even the US Vogue editor-in-chief, peerless in her power over the city’s fashion scene, could not afford to miss this.
Last month, Jacobs addressed persistent rumours that his label was in financial difficulties, telling Women’s Wear Daily there was no truth in gossip that he was set to hand over creative control, and adding that the talk was “upsetting and stressful” to his staff.
