VERA WANG PRE-FALL 2010.

VERA WANG

PRE-FALL 2010 COLLECTION

Vera Wang's ready-to-wear is synonymous with a sort of artsy dressiness, so her pre-fall collection of tailoring, structured outerwear, and body-hugging knits was something of a departure.

"I'm pushing myself out of my comfort zone," the designer said.

But Wang seems quite assured working with these new categories.

A boy blazer in charcoal wool twill with a double lapel in darker gray was coolly confident.

If her client isn't quite ready to work a suit (the jacket was paired here with a short, sculpted skirt), Wang included plenty of the layerable lean basketball T-shirts and leggings she's long been known for.

Black tinsel trim on hems and Mongolian lamb swatches on pockets or shoulders ensured that her parkas and anoraks looked signature, too.

And despite the fact that she was focused mostly on daywear (retailers are looking for versatility and low cost per wear), she showed one of her most stunning evening looks in a long time.

It was a tulle T-shirt dress with a swirl of multicolor paillettes, sequins, and beads on the front and simple black jersey on the back.

It'll be expensive, but it'll be worth it.

Marc By Marc Jacobs Spring 2010 RTW.

Karlie Kloss

A funny thing has started happening at Marc Jacobs shows: Fans, content to sit and watch the big-name models strut by, jump to their feet to get a better glimpse (and a camera-phone pic) of the designer as he comes out for his bow.

Mark

He's fashion's biggest superstar, no question, and he earned that reputation all over again this week with his fantastic signature collection.

Julija Steponaviciute

Under the circumstances, it's probably no surprise that his little-sister show, with its best-bits-from-the-vintage-store mentality, can be something of a letdown.

Jac

But the Marc by Marc Jacobs line he presented for Spring today was one of his liveliest in a while.

Nimue Smit

Maybe that's because he borrowed some of the details from his own recent oeuvre. To start with, the models all wore bunny bows in their hair, echoing Madonna's Vuitton getup at the Met ball, albeit on a smaller scale.

Roy

Then there were the jackets and coats with the still-directional forties-by-way-of-the-eighties pinched shoulders. Fall's neons made a reappearance as well; the best of the bunch being a hot pink and caution orange striped dress with mismatched belt.

But not everything was reminiscent of Jacobs' previous collections. The African-inspired prints he used for easy, belted day dresses played into New York's burgeoning tribal trend. (Then again, all things tribal can arguably be traced back to the influential Spring 2009 Vuitton show.) Jacobs also showed a lot of jumpsuits—the cutest in sporty blue terrycloth. It's a look that a less confident designer might have avoided this season because of its recent runway ubiquity. Not him. Self-assurance is something Marc Jacobs has no shortage of.
