Capturing the youthful yet sophisticated look that defines Little Marc Jacobs, the Spring/Summer 2017 collection embraces humor for a season that is rich with bright colors and bold motifs.
Inspired by major movements in history, art and fashion, this new collection delivers a modern and original interpretation of classic pieces.
True to its New York origins, Little Marc Jacobs presents an urban wardrobe composed of luxury pieces alongside laidback everyday must-haves, taking style cues straight from the ready-to-wear collections.
Marc Jacobs pays homage to the seventh art - cinema and the nation who invented it. An abundance of blue, white and red evoke the American flag. Thus, iconic American apparel gets a modern reinterpretation.
The classic bomber jacket is reworked with badges, broaches and slogans; the comfy sweatshirt dress is adorned with popcorn motifs and pearls, and shorts come in a preppy tartan check.
Through a mix of blue, red, white and ecked grey, the boys’ collection combines two American power players: cinema and basketball.
Patchwork denim with American flag motifs printed on the cuffs is teamed with a varsity jacket with ‘Marc Jacobs’ printed on the back in true NBA style. A bright blue linen shorts suit is dressed down with a t-shirt featuring animals at the cinema or dressed up with a crisp white shirt, perfect for his own red carpet moment.
Outdoor inspiration comes from the sea, with a nautical striped windbreaker worn over a polo shirt printed with a captain walrus, paired with washed blue cotton shorts.
