Marc Jacobs Fall 2009 Collection.

Marc Jacobs made quite a statement with his Fall 2009 Collection at New York Fashion Week.  The designer known for making celebs and A listers wait hours for his shows  pulled a 180.  He shocked many by doing the unheard of at a fashion show:  NO celebrities were seated in the front row, his fashion show was two minutes EARLY, and he ONLY allowed a limited amount of press and buyers in — instead of a packed house of 1500 people he cut it down to 500 people and, yes, there was room to breath!

Why did he do this?  He wanted to bring it back to the clothes.  And it seemed he wanted people to pay close attention.  And if you wanted to take in the looks, you had to stay alert and focused as they went speeding by.  In 10 minutes he had 60 models walk the catwalk and he wanted the attention on them, not the atmosphere.

Super sized shoulder pads, fluorescent colors, mohawks —  it seems Marc also took inspiration from the 80s for this line.  And then added his unique fashion forward take.

Below are some highlights form collection.  Let us know your thoughts.
