The mystery of how the
girls will walk - posed previously by Robert Duffy - was finally
answered at the
Louis Vuitton show as the girls descended onto the catwalk via
huge escalators. Marc Jacobs was seeing squares for spring/summer
2013 - and not just on the yellow grid catwalk. Checkered dresses
came in short, calf or long lengths, teamed with pointy-toe kitten
heels and beehived hairdos tied with scarves. Simple, elegant and
Sixties-sleek, the collection was inspired by the work of
artist
Daniel Buren. "Every season we try
to excite by doing something different," said Jacobs
backstage after the show.
Updated Wednesday October 3, 8.10am: Who better equipped to
get the fashion pack excited on the final day of fashion month than
Marc
Jacobs? The designer will unveil what will surely be another
Louis Vuitton
spectacular this morning. Robert Duffy hinted at another full-scale
extravaganza when we met him last month - the logistics of models
walking was causing him a little concern, so we cannot wait to see
what the label has in store for us.
On a very different note, French label APC will present its
latest collection later on today - bringing its pared-down
insouciant chic to spring/summer 2013. The youthful mood will
continue at
Miu
Miu, when
Miuccia
Prada will give her younger customers a new wardrobe -
featuring the irreverent whimsical signatures she is known for.
Elie Saab
will wrap up the month-long fashion marathon at 4.30pm, when we'll
see plenty of glittering sequinned-covered gowns perfect for red
carpet turns.
