Be inspired by the Marc By Marc Jacobs Autumn/Winter ’13 collection and add a splash of colour and vibrant print to your cold weather wardrobe.
We fell in love with the Marc By Marc Jacobs AW13 collection when it was shown back in February at New York Fashion Week. Well, now those unashamedly bold, vintage inspired prints, autumnal shades of berry, burnt orange and burgundy, and forties silhouettes have hit stores.
Get The Look
Florals take on a bolder, darker mood for winter in autumnal shades from deep berry through to rusty leaf. Paired against a muted colour palette of navy and burgundy, and a svelte, streamlined silhouette (think nipped in waists and pinup pencil skirts) the look goes from statement to work wear appropriate.
For evening, create a print clash of brave floral against classic checks, just make sure they’re within the same colour palette.
And the finishing touch? Big bouncy Studio 54 curls and a dab of sultry berry red lipstick.
