Marc Jacobs for Louis Vuitton has presented what he calls a very 'Parisienne' collection, but I find that he is showing us a girl that has traveled from Tokyo to NYC and back again. There is a very chique look that is associated with the Paris girl: from the relaxed cream minidresses to the tailored yet flirty pink cocktail dress and the more sophisticated black should and wrist pouff number. Then we see her out on the town in NYC with the black stripped punkish minidress and tall boots, or the brassier and blazer. Even the sheer turtlenecks speak more to a darker urban existance. Finally, a quick hop over to Tokyo and we see the amalgamation of the high laced boots, the oversized jackets, and the Mini Mouse-esque hair ribbon. This collection is not one that limits itself to one city girl or another, but to a girl who has traveled and chooses those elements that at once take her a step out of her comfort zone while still retaining a sense of individualism. Jacobs' girl will not get lost in any crowd, regardless of the timezone.source: style.com
