At the hands of Belgian fashion designer Dries Van Noten, mixed prints and layers of contrasting fabrics somehow make sense when paired with graphic jeweled cuffs and oversized neckpieces. Diane von Furstenberg took a more bohemian approach to the tribal trend for spring—with armfuls of bangles and printed maxi-dresses—while Frida Giannini and Nicolas Ghesquière fell hard for the urban warrior.
For spring 2010 Marc Jacobs presented a bright, fun collection of the lower-priced Marc by Marc Jacobs line.
Models donned huge bunny ear bows in their hair, not unlike those in Jacobs' fall 2009 show for Louis Vuitton and as worn by Madonna in the brand's ad campaign. Explained by hair maestro Guido Palau backstage, the look "is a Fifties up-do with an Eighties edge."
The same could be said for the collection itself—a lively cacophony of color and mixed prints (dots, spots, plaid, gingham and tribal). Looks were for the most part polished, hence the Fifties, with an oversized sweatshirt here and denim jacket there, obvious Eighties.
Marc's girls were pulled together, in the most charmingly mismatched way, wearing shades of blue and red neatly cinched in at the waist with striped belts. Accessories are always important in this show, and Jacobs didn't disappoint with metallic wrap sandals, colorful pop jewelry and a parade of shoulder bags.
The Marc by Marc Jacobs guy was, as ever, looking very cool—this season in rolled pants, blazers and printed shirts and wearing great velcro-strapped deck shoes in teal and clay.

Yesterday we brought you a preview of the DKNY Spring 2010 swimwear collection and today, a swim collection by the beloved Marc Jacobs. As was expected the collection was young, brightly colored, and in flirty/quirky cuts that will intimidate some and tempt others. Particularly striking was one white bathing suit with ruffles at the bodice and a geometric romper that could easily be worn by the patio in the evening. Check out our exclusive photos of the collection below.
