The Marc Jacobs Fall 2013 line captured the attention of audience members at this year's New York Fashion Week. The line channeled the best of the 1970s as it showcased hot pants and pieces clad in glistening, plastic-like material.
Aligned with the evident references to the past decade were oversize fur coats, opulent shawls and an array of gilded outerwear. These pieces were accorded with seductive twists as these New York Fashion Week models sported sunken neck lines, short dresses and sleek body suits. One of the ensembles was even showcased sans shirt, revealing the entire upper body. Marc Jacobs' evident will to promote the avant-garde come Fall 2013 has certainly been heard, and will moreover be ceded to this autumn.
