Leave it to America’s one and only Michael Kors to explain the role of fashion and why it’s more important now in these tough economic times than ever before.

Marc Jacobs is a maestro at capturing the spirit of youth, and he launched a collection oozing color, exaggerated shapes, and bold makeup and hair with unspeakable panache. If someone asked Jacobs what he did for a living, the most fitting response would be “revivalist/hitmaker/futurist.” Somehow this man manages to reintroduce past styles, mainly the 1980s, but breathe fresh life into them so that they are forward-looking; he’s a hitmaker because I find it hard to not love him, the energy he evokes, and the promise he holds before a collection debuts and the succeeding affirmation it (tends) to deliver. Never boring and never a lesson lifted from a fashion history text, the models wowed to the sounds of Katastrophe and Spinnerette.
