marc by marc jacobs AW10

Until further notice I'm sticking with my 'nothing spectacular' New York Fashion Week stance. The Marc by Marc Jacobs collection has, however, just caught my eye. Nothing mindblowing, but certainly leaves me with some ideas to apply to my own wardrobe. The striped jumper and leggings combo in particular. With Style.com's Tim Blanks summing it up the perfect nod to 'the moment when stylish boys and girls were picking up Iron Curtain army surplus after the Wall came down', the Berlin art student as muse springs to mind. With droopy jumpers, fur lined parkas and all in one rompers (human equivalent of draught excluder, methinks?) the collection is refreshingly thoughtful when it comes to the sensibilites of winter dressing. And with the Mother of harsh Winters just coming to an end, I say 'clap, clap, clap' to that.
