I am studying Marc Jacobs' brand and colour choices, so here is the collection of my design for Marc Jacobs' brand with my choice of colours.

Therefore I have design a <b><u><font color="#14a6c5">Fall/Winter 2009 women RTW collection</font></u></b> for Marc Jacobs with my own choices in colours. I am going to explain my reasons for choosing below.<br /><p><u>Group conclusion in Marc Jacobs’ colours:</u> <br>(1) More hues are used for recent year <br>(2) <strong>Achromatic colors: black, white and grey must be present in each season's collection</strong> <br>(3) A simple combination is adopted. For each outfit, the no. of colour is usually <b>not more than 3</b>. <br>(4) MJ likes to use <b>artificial colours.</b> <br>(5) MJ uses colours of <b>high saturation</b> every season, but the amount decreases in recent seasons. <br>(6) Spring and Fall colours are related. The colours used in Fall/Winter collection are usually the colours of spring collection in a <b>lower value</b> (with shade). <br>(7) There is a trend that MJ tends to use colours in lower values. <br>(8) MJ loves <b>lavender, violet, brilliant red, turquoise</b>, and yellowish brown, <b>khaki</b>. They almost appear in every collection. BLACK, WHITE, GREY are the must. <br /><p>Base on the group analysis, I have use both <font color="#00bfbf">white and black</font> for the achromatic area. Each outfit contains <font color="#00bfbf">3 colours</font>, (expect the accessories) and they are all <font color="#00bfbf">artificial colours</font>. Within those 6 colours, deep blue, dark turquoise and deep red are used. They are all colours in <font color="#00bfbf">low value and have appeared in Spring/Summer 09 collection with higher value</font>. As Marc Jacobs tends to use colours in lower value, only yellow and white are in high value. The six colours come from different hues and the turquoise & the deep blue with a little bit violet are tertiary colours in the colour wheel.<br /><p>For the style, Marc Jacobs like to design garments with layers recently. Because of this I try to design outfits which contain layers like the left 2 and right 1 in the picture. <font color="#00bfbf">This enables the colours to merge as the top layer is opaque and the outfit will have more colours visually </font>although only 3 colours are used. Moreover, Marc Jacobs always produce works made of fabric that been through different fabric treatment. These fabrics have special texture and give audience kinds of visual effect under light sources and the effects change due to the wearers’ movement. In my illustration, although each fabric are coloured by only 1 colour, there are some stripes with a little darker or lighter colours. <font color="#00bfbf">These effects are to express the texture effect to the colours but not the pattern</font>. Marc Jacobs rarely use pattern in his collection. He has only used symmetric geometric patterns and checks in 2 collections throughout these years.<br /><p>The next topic I would like to introduce is the theme of my women collection of Fall/Winter 2009. In these years, <font color="#00bfbf">feminine is always one of the topic of Marc Jacobs</font> and he does a very outstanding job in this. One of my measures to maintain this in my collection, in a rather restrained style, is using one of Marc Jacobs and my favourite colour, <font color="#00bfbf">deep brilliant red</font>. Just like dress, skirt and handbags, they are all musts in his runway shows. For the main theme of my topic, that is <b><font color="#0080ff">“<u>New City</u>”</font></b>. The idea comes from the motherland for Marc Jacobs, <b><font color="#00bfbf">New York</font></b>. This is the place where he was raised, where he studied and worked. <font color="#00bfbf">This place has changed in ways because of development and global issues</font>. It is one of the metropolises for United States and due to the<font color="#00bfbf"> economic situation and the positioning of the whole country, and also the international environment issue, it is going through a great change</font>. Revolution in the values is occurring among New Yorkers. On the other hands, it is said that Marc Jacobs seems to miss U.S. based on his features in the last collection.<br /><p>I chose some of the artificial colours that Marc Jacobs likes to use in his collection to <font color="#00bfbf">present this metropolis</font>, like the deep violet-liked blue, shinny orange-liked yellow and dark turquoise. The two deep colours <font color="#00bfbf">represent the crowd city with cold tall buildings that make great shadows</font> on the city under sun light. The shinny orange-liked yellow is representing <font color="#00bfbf">a bright new future of the city and it is a colour that can be said as artificial and natural colours</font>. <b><i>Large proportion</i></b> are coloured in this so as to <font color="#00bfbf">cheer those metropolitans up</font> and hoping the natural sunlight, which represent the natural environment, can shine through the whole city. To create the <font color="#00bfbf">shinning and eye-catching effect</font>, I try to use white of yellow for about half to one-third in one outfit and contrast to the low value colours. This should also create a highlight-spot to the garment.<br /><br />Previous Try:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbQMUPsGHW6hgkLnSMU0O-MtZHMPSFx7EnkifD9TRj_GusZ_1gCJpST2gLsHP2sRx4i5q2FUaYleAG_K1cGSIAJZtIr7n9eKDPeC7-Vm47SOPGKKf8AhR1tQ2j3AwUUV63ycfGi1pZ/s1600-h/PICT7914+copy.jpg">https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbQMUPsGHW6hgkLnSMU0O-MtZHMPSFx7EnkifD9TRj_GusZ_1gCJpST2gLsHP2sRx4i5q2FUaYleAG_K1cGSIAJZtIr7n9eKDPeC7-Vm47SOPGKKf8AhR1tQ2j3AwUUV63ycfGi1pZ/s1600-h/PICT7914+copy.jpg</a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3Tj0YRJiApIDsnk2IFFiGd34Dxqt5z8Nn_R1EE_W-50DOAoR6OtUfNJa2Pifd-JNWY1AwqIpMGMJsXi88Ni4BN4tmVDVoTPvp0D99P9nhUeE_DhFVZVSl5iEBwbz3BLkb-Mm736gB/s1600-h/wqerrt+copy.jpg">https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3Tj0YRJiApIDsnk2IFFiGd34Dxqt5z8Nn_R1EE_W-50DOAoR6OtUfNJa2Pifd-JNWY1AwqIpMGMJsXi88Ni4BN4tmVDVoTPvp0D99P9nhUeE_DhFVZVSl5iEBwbz3BLkb-Mm736gB/s1600-h/wqerrt+copy.jpg</a>07253242Dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14307092225499355992noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784711963306221995.post-42665893645530412912008-11-26T01:26:00.000+08:002008-11-27T01:37:56.088+08:00Final Pro consideration 02I have already post the basic colour family... ... lastly, with a little bit confident.

But most of them are talking about Marc jacobs' footwear and bags, whose colours are very different from Marc Jacobs' RTW garment collection.<br /><br />Basing on the conclusion of our group seems to be the only thing I got. Moreover, trying to design clothing like Marc Jacobs is a huge problem for me. Although I have seen lots of his works (thanks to the long group analysis period), my design style and statement is very different from him.<br /><br />Besides, the proportion of colours of Marc Jacobs' works is still a maze for our group. The only thing we can conclude is that he will only use 2 to 3 colours in the same set. No pattern can be seen obviously about proportion of colours.<br /><br />I have try to draw different colour family, but if one colour of the family is slightly different, the whole family colours will seem odd. After testing and disscussion with classmates in other group, I have develop some basic colour families. But as the collection design is not finished, I cannot try out the effect at all. I am quite nervous at this moment.07253242Dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14307092225499355992noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784711963306221995.post-72483742079950464002008-11-06T23:35:00.001+08:002008-11-27T00:52:47.636+08:0004 30 Combinations of ColoursIt is much harder than I think to complete the 30 different combinations of colours.

Those colours are near to primary colours but there are always slight differences. Colours are getting richer as the later collections are designed. Sharp and dark greens are rarely used in collections.However pastel green often appear in other fashion products of Marc Jacobss.<br /><br />From Group Mate: Kasa07253242Dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14307092225499355992noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784711963306221995.post-3367016012899284112008-10-29T23:37:00.003+08:002008-10-29T23:42:33.158+08:0003 Theme BoardThe 30 collections are not finished yet.<br />Other then the colours design, it's the matter of time...orz<br />However, I have done the theme board first as I have other uses of it, too.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPkDRRqBM2Rj8_ThNg7lgPLbrzDPnEr0mOUvsGUNbYkm8tkIgZ7OTPjjOZDggDxXrTzSgwps33mmjbkRycLpfoRPhNcn3o5Vs9kXuAMvSZrrfkNtOEqtwQUZWVDnWk5n8JkAYTkHc9/s1600-h/ThemeB.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPkDRRqBM2Rj8_ThNg7lgPLbrzDPnEr0mOUvsGUNbYkm8tkIgZ7OTPjjOZDggDxXrTzSgwps33mmjbkRycLpfoRPhNcn3o5Vs9kXuAMvSZrrfkNtOEqtwQUZWVDnWk5n8JkAYTkHc9/s320/ThemeB.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262601160422828770" /></a><br /><br />As the theme is running water, blue and green hues are used mainly.

This can contribute the feeling of light, kindness, peace, and generosity. He didn't talked about his actual inspiration, but those feeling has shared with the audience perfectly.<br /><br />In order to make the colours combination more presentable, Marc Jacobs painted the runway in a awn green way just like mint candies. The fresh and sharp colour bring out the blur light and peace image even when the collections has not yet shown on the stage.<br /><br />Here are the collection's photos:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK4SIVdB0LrJrdQqYezFpWhOPmEWRJ9VCqVeb-uR8IDAgmVFoI3WAOfGbBd0KdqMXy6XgSkxs7qnuwE1OVGCzTfCKHS-MrBGct1GUocacbYWm9G90oeuk6maZecUgg4A1IlLcSKdmw/s1600-h/Marc14(collections).jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 169px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK4SIVdB0LrJrdQqYezFpWhOPmEWRJ9VCqVeb-uR8IDAgmVFoI3WAOfGbBd0KdqMXy6XgSkxs7qnuwE1OVGCzTfCKHS-MrBGct1GUocacbYWm9G90oeuk6maZecUgg4A1IlLcSKdmw/s320/Marc14(collections).jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266961658103784930" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiok0JapbVy3XW9GpvASHXISSQfuu15kcQN_nJGV0LJKxF1bspBJbhiOtSwHqdVf2fa8uGAQYkGgnvT43WlEf4DWpD-3s_BABIkJ9AnvPc40r2e8e5zx4CzBIhXdOdPYJ857hskYQjF/s1600-h/Marc13(collections).jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 236px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiok0JapbVy3XW9GpvASHXISSQfuu15kcQN_nJGV0LJKxF1bspBJbhiOtSwHqdVf2fa8uGAQYkGgnvT43WlEf4DWpD-3s_BABIkJ9AnvPc40r2e8e5zx4CzBIhXdOdPYJ857hskYQjF/s320/Marc13(collections).jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266961653228053426" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBhQ8HewvUsJePMl40udjeK7uDPfy2sOjQADSu8Fe8FYsvi-1JbqxF18SrvillekXjgKwfUIiONIjgBjnovB33598bIFN1ce4vBeG9au4oiqx9nJhXsDjlvn67pK6GV2l0oky1ymL4/s1600-h/Marc12(collections).jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 237px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBhQ8HewvUsJePMl40udjeK7uDPfy2sOjQADSu8Fe8FYsvi-1JbqxF18SrvillekXjgKwfUIiONIjgBjnovB33598bIFN1ce4vBeG9au4oiqx9nJhXsDjlvn67pK6GV2l0oky1ymL4/s320/Marc12(collections).jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266961646912920882" /></a>07253242Dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14307092225499355992noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784711963306221995.post-73337449669829003732008-10-25T21:52:00.001+08:002008-11-09T22:20:02.483+08:00Colour Wheel Analysis of CollectionsThe following are the colours' allocation of S/s 2003, F/w 2003 and F/w 2007.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnxf_qnPHFRXl41_fgoq84KV8uizkEIgZIszPPRyGCGrML_lzvBzw1gg6T0_UgVq3pOldqxNSNUUzb1sd4r_6KQdKwlydSCKpYWa4GqJqFBL-phVybXH39PGoa9mi6G8IQ9VejeuPy/s1600-h/Mar-Cw-Ss03.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 238px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnxf_qnPHFRXl41_fgoq84KV8uizkEIgZIszPPRyGCGrML_lzvBzw1gg6T0_UgVq3pOldqxNSNUUzb1sd4r_6KQdKwlydSCKpYWa4GqJqFBL-phVybXH39PGoa9mi6G8IQ9VejeuPy/s320/Mar-Cw-Ss03.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266656723833860114" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNL2xPYjhrzqugf_ImoyNyLBI9HikJQdgrgdCclTJhhWcTy1hmVhxcKjZ0X5eyecxswZPS4VXMgA_jzW8AJvxCILUZShwlEj6OXZoe9o2Do6s4eg-Y3IBkL9EaPOu9gvwLJB3YSQYb/s1600-h/Mar-Cw-Fw03.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 238px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNL2xPYjhrzqugf_ImoyNyLBI9HikJQdgrgdCclTJhhWcTy1hmVhxcKjZ0X5eyecxswZPS4VXMgA_jzW8AJvxCILUZShwlEj6OXZoe9o2Do6s4eg-Y3IBkL9EaPOu9gvwLJB3YSQYb/s320/Mar-Cw-Fw03.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266657307401720370" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbIkyv0DykphCZrjZ1aL1qfnNLb3rl9bBik8BYPxw2xc0hcgXu1gbS-Q-usk9eWCbcans4qJYTje55QTKCzu9SmARsPVjR6ZuiHN7NoDMf-TZHCi3mieG42qFFaosFjv4iirtrbXH4/s1600-h/Mar-Cw-Fw07.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 238px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbIkyv0DykphCZrjZ1aL1qfnNLb3rl9bBik8BYPxw2xc0hcgXu1gbS-Q-usk9eWCbcans4qJYTje55QTKCzu9SmARsPVjR6ZuiHN7NoDMf-TZHCi3mieG42qFFaosFjv4iirtrbXH4/s320/Mar-Cw-Fw07.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266657309705890898" /></a><br />It is clealy that Marc Jacobs likes the colours in red and blue hues. Those colours are near to primary colours but there are always slight differences. Colours are getting richer as the later collections are designed. Sharp and dark greens are rarely used in collections.However pastel green often appear in other fashion products of Marc Jacobss.07253242Dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14307092225499355992noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784711963306221995.post-6204389777122075672008-10-25T11:33:00.001+08:002008-11-27T00:36:04.259+08:00Marc Jacob - Collection S/S + F/W 2008comparing S/S and F/W<br />some of the colors like turquoise, lavender and pale pink are repeated used,<br />this kind of colors give a feeling of softness, comfort and femininity.<br />khaki are often used, too.<br />the color of the 2 collections are quite similar actually.<br />except that in the F/W collection there are some metallic colors.<br /><br />one more pointed noted is that, marc jacobs displays the color of the same hue but different values in the same outfits. and throughout the collection, hue of different values and intensities are used in the outfits, usually in a small portion, decorating a black majority. violet and turquoise are mostly used.<br /><br />From Group Mate: Sandra07253242Dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14307092225499355992noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784711963306221995.post-28117625016204312952008-10-25T11:26:00.000+08:002008-11-27T00:32:56.114+08:00Marc Jacobs - Comparison with competitor<span style="font-weight:bold;">2008 Christian Dior Fall /Winter<br /></span><br />Shocking Red, Shocking Pink, Sharp Orange, Sharp Purple , dark Turquoise, yellowish-khaki , black, white<br /><br />fabrics : Satin, Fur, Silk<br /><br />comparison : both of the collection involved a lot of black and white, while grey is the color that Jacobs always love.

The colours, orange, blue, beige, white, pink, violet, and red really give people a strong visual splashing effect. Orange, blue and white is a non-original combination conducts a space-age feeling and makes people imagine a space shuttle which made of artifical materials. Moreover, the smash of colours is even more serious to highlight the theme of punk rock. <br /><br />Comparing to the S/s2003 collection, the values of colours are relatively higher to give a warm and solid feeling to wearers.<br /><br />Here are the collections and their main colour board:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmqDNxosveZ3asTVd47krBJUPC8lSMNyAO032TG-cJiyhQXDjRlXuKKQ4TZTjmwCUxD4J4W2b-XNgvi1VC9qFgFUDMgaE5F6w9kk4b9IvDVEusbHVQ4NbLAkF5KvIYzMd9gW0T9VaO/s1600-h/Marc08(collections).jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 235px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmqDNxosveZ3asTVd47krBJUPC8lSMNyAO032TG-cJiyhQXDjRlXuKKQ4TZTjmwCUxD4J4W2b-XNgvi1VC9qFgFUDMgaE5F6w9kk4b9IvDVEusbHVQ4NbLAkF5KvIYzMd9gW0T9VaO/s320/Marc08(collections).jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266141825760755810" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj07V7OEvfNc-L46GCfva9TNhQjmkRXwXR2EETUCnhHUkwgA0F9C-M2U13se8B6yaE2o8I6duL9W55INJXPwvzTgPvZaLxudDNChWy-bXhkGbwkt-ucddl3K537GWQCZKcDj_QYOs_-/s1600-h/Marc07(collections).jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 235px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj07V7OEvfNc-L46GCfva9TNhQjmkRXwXR2EETUCnhHUkwgA0F9C-M2U13se8B6yaE2o8I6duL9W55INJXPwvzTgPvZaLxudDNChWy-bXhkGbwkt-ucddl3K537GWQCZKcDj_QYOs_-/s320/Marc07(collections).jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266141823571564802" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVu893LesEQAwwbc4DpbJ_Xklpjew3frLRZqIYx-A6kf1Hbe-uYi9sKQzLog3aO67VYSorti2RIkVBySv6fGrAaeTW96IVke6mArSUZKXGWxxQe-0kZgLeV3ti7X_hG76tMWSGl_iW/s1600-h/Marc06(collections).jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 205px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVu893LesEQAwwbc4DpbJ_Xklpjew3frLRZqIYx-A6kf1Hbe-uYi9sKQzLog3aO67VYSorti2RIkVBySv6fGrAaeTW96IVke6mArSUZKXGWxxQe-0kZgLeV3ti7X_hG76tMWSGl_iW/s320/Marc06(collections).jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266141819716348994" /></a><br /><br />Main Colour Board<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXzWgE1rMfzFIur55rpfEOrbzHZ-2pqjTfwLYykuX5zFr4hGQ_O_ekr4d-p-EoQcn3nClj4GNWAUiADdFxRsT_Yc6sCMpVXXfZ_Jpj3N_ME05UP2j3WgPsk_vDbB4DGNxtXRK6JaUt/s1600-h/Mar-Mc-Fw03.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 184px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXzWgE1rMfzFIur55rpfEOrbzHZ-2pqjTfwLYykuX5zFr4hGQ_O_ekr4d-p-EoQcn3nClj4GNWAUiADdFxRsT_Yc6sCMpVXXfZ_Jpj3N_ME05UP2j3WgPsk_vDbB4DGNxtXRK6JaUt/s320/Mar-Mc-Fw03.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266141834929493666" /></a>07253242Dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14307092225499355992noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784711963306221995.post-21648452535499393452008-10-23T01:24:00.000+08:002008-11-09T19:35:42.783+08:00Marc Jacobs - S/S 2003In this collection, opposites play important roles. Sweet and softness meet the hard edge and generate the interesting silhouettes. <br /><br />To conduct dramatic contrast, colours are well-chosen, too. For example, soft pink, lavender, pale yellow, orange, chartreuse, and ivory are chosen for under boxy jackets and sexy camisole tops. For even greater contrast, soft, airy fabrics are used to against dense ribbed ottoman, nubby, and others.<br /><br />Comparing this collection with the F/W 2003 one, there are many simular main colours, like light grey & dark grey, black & white, and light purple.<br /><br />If the 2 collection are compared to the F/W 2007, it is clear that Marc Jacobs still use those main colours in the latter collection and add more colours from different hues, like those from red hue.<br /><br />The following are the pieces in collection S/S 2003 and the main colours board:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHxj1BXYxKWHH5cs9pRm-j6lpAUPq1yNTkEUf1L9B0Q_NWGRDkPY-lMxhZQWY8iKomefUmUckpLu0JJG54hMX9LbgBQ0Xq_aCN9ZAd8KY9dBsH3CiQKJeJVvs57D4yDWddMy4J10p7/s1600-h/Marc11(collections).jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer;

The change in Marc Jacobs are pretty obvious but his main characteristics are still kept. For example, there are still many <span style="color:#00cccc;">garments with special fabric treatment</span>. It enables the <span style="color:#00cccc;">colours changing due to light sources and wearers' movements</span>.<br /><br />It is said that Marc Jacobs is a innovative designer who always gave you something unexpected.

They are both called as classic brands.<br /><br />Perry Eills is a famous brand in America from mid-1970s. It started as a fashionable sportswear house and then launched sportswear, womenswear and menswear. The chief designer Perry Eills himself was called as "the ideal American sportswear designer of the time " because of the <span style="color:#00cccc;">clean-cut yet casual style</span>. Its Menswear Collection was widely successful, and marked by <span style="color:#00cccc;">"non-traditional, modern classics"</span>. That is how he created the <span style="color:#00cccc;">"new classics"</span>.<br /><br />Perry Eills may be one of the factors for the <span style="color:#00cccc;">strong American feeling</span> in Marc Jacobs' collection. The <span style="color:#00cccc;">simple cutting</span> and <span style="color:#00cccc;">using only few colours in a set of clothing</span> are both characters of Perry Eills and Marc Jacobs.<br /><br />For <span style="color:#00cccc;">Louis Vuitton</span>, not to mention its supreme fame in fashion industry, is a French <span style="color:#00cccc;">luxury fashion and leather goods brand</span>. It was admired as the <span style="color:#00cccc;">most counterfeited contemporary classics</span> by mature ladies all around the world for years. Its pale-brown and continuous pattern can be easily recognised.<br /><br />Louis Vuitton has been the classics from france to the whole world. Its brand image is elegant<span style="color:#00cccc;">, luxury and feeling of understated</span>. It seems that Marc Jacobs wanted to <span style="color:#00cccc;">create classics in a new and novelty forms</span>. In his recent collection, he talked about <span style="color:#00cccc;">elegant and noble</span>. Moreover, he was <span style="color:#00cccc;">fame for gaving 50s to 70s classics reborn!</span><br /><br />The colours of Marc Jacobs are either <span style="color:#3333ff;">monochromatic</span> or <span style="color:#3366ff;">have eye-catching effects</span>, but none of them cause any uncomfortable or unpleasant visual images. That is how classics work with colours.<br /><br />Marc Jabcobs Fall 2007 Runway Show - Fashion Indie<br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEGLlL8Iklw">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEGLlL8Iklw</a><br /><br />Reference: wikipedia <a href="http://www.wikipedia.com/">http://www.wikipedia.com</a>07253242Dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14307092225499355992noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784711963306221995.post-70613365063446418922008-10-16T17:14:00.012+08:002008-10-17T00:04:00.389+08:00Marc Jacobs - F/W 2007 01Marc Jacobs has a full range of Fall/ Winter collection in 2007 and continued showing his flavour in vintage.<br /><p>This time, he has chosen to <span style="color:#00cccc;">bring 70s back on stage</span> again. Those hats, long coats, ribbed sweaters, trousers with loose stirrups and last but mot least, the jumpsuits, were fancy stuffs of that time. However, when they were in the <span style="color:#00cccc;">multi-colours and matching the super-slim silhouette</span>, new images were emerged.</p><br /><p>According to <a href="http://www.style.com/fashionshows/review/F2007RTW-MJACOBS">Nicole Phelps</a>, Marc Jacobs said that the collection is a<span style="color:#00cccc;"> reflection of his personal life and feeling</span>, called it <span style="font-size:130%;color:#3366ff;"><strong>restraint</strong></span>. Therefore, <span style="color:#00cccc;">sharp colours are less</span> and the proportion of black & grey increased. Those sharp colours in the collections were all tertiary colours in the red and the yellow hues.

That was much before entering design schools, showing his interest in fashion in youth period.<br /><br />During his school life in Parsons, he designed and sold his <strong>first line of hand-knit sweaters</strong>. He also designed his first collection for <strong><span style="color:#00cccc;">Reuben Thomas, Inc</span></strong>. After graduation, he worked as a designer in <strong><span style="color:#00cccc;">Perry Ellis</span></strong>. Obviously, this label has great impact towards his career and fashion concept. He has launched the famous "grunge" collection in those days. It leaded to his dismissal in 1993.<br /><br />He opened <strong><span style="color:#00cccc;">Jacobs Duffy Designs Inc.</span></strong> with Robert Duffy, which is a famous design company till nowadays.<br /><br />In 1989, Jacobs and Duffy joined the women's design unit of <strong><span style="color:#00cccc;">Tristan Russo</span></strong> as Vice President and President, respectively.<br /><br />In 1997, Jacobs was appointed Creative Director of luxury French fashion house, <a title="Louis Vuitton" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Vuitton">Louis <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Vuitton</span></a>, where he created the company's first ready-to-wear line and has worked till today.<br /><br />These precious experience in working with those prominent brands affects his design elements and choosing of colours.

E.g., Marc Jacobs x Vans Fall 2007 Collection.<br /><br />Novelty colours are used and rubber caps are added to the veteran shoes. There are both artificial colours and natural colour, pale green, in the collection. They creates sense of comfort and light. This is quite different from the formal feeling of Marc Jacobs ready-to-wear.<br /><br /><a href="http://hypebeast.com/image/2007/08/marc-jacobs-vans-fall-2007.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://hypebeast.com/image/2007/08/marc-jacobs-vans-fall-2007.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="http://hypebeast.com/image/2007/08/marc-jacobs-vans-slip-1.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://hypebeast.com/image/2007/08/marc-jacobs-vans-slip-1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Photos: <a href="http://hypebeast.com/2007/08/marc-jacobs-x-vans-fall-2007-collection/">http://hypebeast.com/2007/08/marc-jacobs-x-vans-fall-2007-collection/</a>07253242Dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14307092225499355992noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784711963306221995.post-29816471106671041322008-10-09T10:27:00.015+08:002008-10-11T15:31:38.927+08:00Marc Jacobs - Decade BackgroundMarc Jacobs was born in 1960s, which was inside the complex of inter-related cultural and political trends which occurred roughly during the years 1956–1974 in US. Therefore, hippies and counter-culture emerged.<br /><br />1960s was also known as the decade of he new, exciting, radical, and subversive events and trends, including fashion culture. Drugs also became popular among youths, especially for show biz. Pop, rock, reggae, soul and blues music developed rapidly. This period of time gave Marc Jacobs a nice foundation to absorb novelty fashion concepts and add these elements in those classic products.<br /><br />For 1970s to 1980s, they was probably the most influential period to Marc Jacobs, as he was a teenager and absorbed a lot from the surroundings.<br /><br />1970s was still in the complex years and hippies culture continued. Besides that, the whole Western countries experienced an economic recession and the living standard of people dropped. That may give us a clue that why Marc <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Jacorbs</span> has great interest in the 40s' and 50s' fashion trends, comparing to the items in his decade.<br /><br />In 40s and 50s, World War II affected the whole world in economy, culture and social aspects. <span style="color:#333399;"><strong>Dark colours</strong></span> and <span style="color:#333399;"><strong>stand sleeves</strong></span> always appeared in western fashion to create a military and safe feeling. Moreover, to create sense of uniformity, <strong><span style="color:#333399;">regular forms</span></strong>, <strong><span style="color:#333399;">balance in both structures and colours</span></strong> are <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">emphasized</span>. For balance in colour, <span style="color:#00cccc;"><strong>Split complementary color scheme</strong><span style="color:#ffffff;"> and </span><strong>Tetradic (double complementary) color scheme</strong></span> were prefered.<br /><br />These key elements appears in <strong>Marc Jacobs 2009 S/S collection</strong> with Marc Jacobs' own modifications, mainly in cutting and styles of usages. For colours, he seems to like using <strong><span style="color:#3366ff;">Split complementary colour scheme with different in shade and value</span></strong>.<br /><br />Here are some examples below.<br /><br />Dark Colours<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoQI5FTkuG1NzE5Q-RaqTGyTxCVr95zUXjGcxUymsGmXb4XViMCIDUv5A0Fqav-BIRen1yi3BbYc1zRgc2zEP1ifn3NGlPj0F84zaNeh-CXQvLXFmXod34qQ5yJUILzK95ao9VYFb99y8/s1600/001.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoQI5FTkuG1NzE5Q-RaqTGyTxCVr95zUXjGcxUymsGmXb4XViMCIDUv5A0Fqav-BIRen1yi3BbYc1zRgc2zEP1ifn3NGlPj0F84zaNeh-CXQvLXFmXod34qQ5yJUILzK95ao9VYFb99y8/s1600/001.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />1/2 proportion & contrasting colours<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIueL7QV3cZxNuCAJ8DBKyon2ygeufeFPeF1IFYCLNm10LXYZkIXxBAlmZbGIgl2zf5jlnvMDuU5g7IoKrwNcidxRI6F5SDMZg9ysmUmqn_FCbQEMnahMmSv-VG3riHKh4b_SbyUI1gf4/s1600/004.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIueL7QV3cZxNuCAJ8DBKyon2ygeufeFPeF1IFYCLNm10LXYZkIXxBAlmZbGIgl2zf5jlnvMDuU5g7IoKrwNcidxRI6F5SDMZg9ysmUmqn_FCbQEMnahMmSv-VG3riHKh4b_SbyUI1gf4/s1600/004.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Photos: <a href="http://07176470d.blogspot.com/">http://07176470d.blogspot.com/</a> (groupmate)<br />Reference:<br />Wiki: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1940s">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1940s</a> <br />Google: <a href="http://www.google.com/">http://www.google.com/</a>07253242Dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14307092225499355992noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784711963306221995.post-50861481552878995932008-10-05T23:24:00.017+08:002008-10-11T15:29:21.219+08:00Marc Jacobs - Geographic backgroundMarc Jacobs is a well-known designer in US. <strong>He was born in NY and spent most of his life there.</strong> Teaneck, New Jersey was once his living place but not for long. He is a <strong>60's person</strong> as he was born in 1963.<br /><br />In that time, NY has already been a well-developed central city for a long time. It was also an international metropolitan. Even for Teaneck, it is a suburb of NY with about 39,260 population.<br /><br />His school life was also in <a title="High School of Art and Design" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_School_of_Art_and_Design">High School of Art and Design</a> and <a class="mw-redirect" title="Parsons School of Design" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parsons_School_of_Design">Parsons School of Design</a>, NY. The former is quite famous for its Fashion department which located prominently in the heart of the city's <a title="Garment District, Manhattan" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garment_District,_Manhattan">Garment District</a> in midtown.<br /><br />The economy of US was already affecting nations internationally, and the city was developing extremely fast. The society was so wealthy and capable to all kinds of luxury goods. That gave great opportunities for different fashion styles.<br /><br />Spending most of his life in NY obviously helped him to develop his sense in both fashion and colours.
