Bright Young Thing

Christopher Kane, Spring 2007

Marc Jacobs, Spring 2007
Marc Jacobs has always had an eye for the original and unexpected. Spring 2007 was the epitome of this talent, and the layered all-white outfits that dominated the runway still stand out in my memory as enormous successes. Tinfoil hats, plastic flowers, and deceptively complicated shoes (one model famously removed hers mid-walk) finished out the show, and the perfect Japanese-bag-lady-going-to-the-beach look was born.

Louis Vuitton, Spring 2007
Did I mention that Spring 2007 was one of Marc Jacobs’ best? Louis Vuitton’s runway was full of breathtaking garden girls layered in pastels, gauze, and cotton. Beautiful floral fabric head wreaths and oversized candy-colored totes full of fresh flowers complemented the light-and-breezy nature of the clothes, and added to their covetable appeal. The wearability of each piece, despite the heavily layered styling, speaks to the talent of Marc and the Louis Vuitton team, and proves how timeless fashion can be.
