Marc Jacobs can do no wrong.
If there is ANY pattern or print that can instantly be labeled as “trashy”, it is animal print. However, its a different story when that zebra print dress has a little “LV” sewn into the label.
Mister Jacobs and his crew at Louis Vuitton shocked the audience at his Spring 2011 into a fashion coma when he sent his models strutting down the runway in bold colors, flashy sequins and LOTS of animal print.
The collection was thoroughly inspired by the Orient, and a few of the extremely asian looks in the beginning of the show miss the mark. They come off looking more like fancy halloween costumes than high-end couture.
That being said, if any designer can pull of animal print with elegance and class, its Marc Jacobs.
The show hits the high mark at the 7:00 mark. Watch the full show here:
