New York Fashion Week AW 2012: Marc Jacobs

Marc Jacobs presented a fantastic and out of the ordinary show, like he usually does. Part Alice in Wonderland, part between-wars charm, part The Three Musketeers and part Louis the XIVth and his court, the models took us on a journey through time and fantasy. The lengths of the skirts and dresses and the wide cuts added to the mystery of the collection, while the crazy mixes of Mad Hatter fur hats with wide brims completed the silhouettes. Some of the shapes were a bit too heavy for me and the layers didn't help, but I liked the concept because it was very different and original. Among my favorite looks were the black and white ensemble in the opening photo,the large fur coats, the black and grey dress, the fabulous knitwear and of course the black dresses and coats.

Here is my selection of the most interesting looks from the runway:

What do you think about the collection? Too crazy or just about right? And how about the hats and the chunky17th century  French court shoes?
