Marc Jacobs Resort 2015

Marc Jacobs' Resort 2015 Collection was a jubilant display of lavish, scintillating garments for the uninhibited woman. Rebellion infused with a penchant for excess was the design mantra for stalwart Jacobs.

The collection opened with a sixties inspired pantsuit comprising of golden chartreuse, graphic leaf print with black velvet lapel, pocket flap and two button fastening. The silhouette was streamlined and consisted of second skin trousers and matching camisole. A miniature shoulder bag with gold chain handle was a stylish accession. Plenty of leg was on display with a black, stretch mini skirt paired to sheer hosiery and T-bar stiletto sandals. A cobalt and cornflower blue blazer with pleat shoulder detail added a jolt of colour to the ensemble.

A jewel toned citrine, fitted crew neck tunic featured ruched torso detail. Matching stretch leggings, envelope wrist clutch and pointy toed slingbacks graced Esmerald Seay- Reynolds. Bold graphic prints commanding attention continued to dominate on a fuchsia and vermilion strapless, mini cocktail dress with sweetheart neckline. Perfect clubwear attire for the dancing queen to dazzle in under the neon lights.

A fairy floss pink, satin slip dress with scoop back detail featured black guipure lace overlay. Exposed back zipper hardened the aesthetic. Guipure lace was also prevalent on a high neck, short sleeve mini dress and a long sleeve version which evoked the mod squad era. An emerald, scintillating, sequin embellished blazer lit up the collection with panache. A matching a-line mini skirt glistened triumphantly. Bohemian rock star sprung to mind. Sequins continued to frequent the collection lending an iridescent sheen full of vivacity and perennial party girl allure. A free flowing, boxy velvet scoop neck shift dress was a nonchalant addition. Oversized faux jewels ensconced the neckline and back straps. A halter, cherry, crushed velvet mini dress was a liberating garment bursting with attitude.

A kitsch fire engine red sweater came complete with crystal encrusted star bust detail. A patent mini skirt peeked below the oversized jumper. A captivating, flamboyant, metallic, silver sequin mini dress with black circular disc detail oozed with glamour. Sheer decadence was evident on a sumptuous, rabbit fur ebony coat. A colossal sized white bow graced the collar. An amplified silhouette for the bold. A sophisticated, leather, double breasted jacket complete with gold piping and gold button detail was teamed to matching pleated mini. An ostentatious molten gold, quilted handbag and deluxe gold slingbacks concluded the look.

An enthralling display bursting with magnetism. Perfect youth driven attire for the effervescent night owl.
