Marc Jacobs New Spring Line for Men – Spotted at NY Fashion Week

marc-jacobs-collection-2013-mensFor those who consider themselves to have a strong interest in fashion, the New York Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week is one of the most anticipated events in the industry. Fashion Week allows for one to get a solid glimpse of what is to come in the fashion industry, and is rife with entertaining events that incorporate music, visual art and more. This year’s Fashion Week may have come to a close, but that isn’t to say that there weren’t plenty of memorable aspects that still stick in the minds of those who paid close attention to the details. Indeed, certain labels’ Spring 2013 collections stood out far more than others, and Marc by Marc Jacobs easily finds a spot in this tier. Subtly groundbreaking as usual, Marc Jacobs’ designs are second to none, and helped to form a collection that is sure to turn heads this Spring. Consider the following aspects of the Marc by Marc Jacobs Spring 2013 collection, spotted at New York Fashion Week, as well as how you might be able to incorporate these pieces into your own look.

An Amalgamation of Eras
Anyone who pays attention to the designs of Marc Jacobs knows that one of his strongest talents as a designer is his ability to cull designs from a variety of different eras and somehow combine them to attain cohesive results. For designers with less talent, clashing of some kind would almost always occur; not for Jacobs, however. His Spring 2013 collection combines aspects of 90s grunge (think sweaters, plaid etc.) with elements of ‘50s and ‘60s Americana; gray suits and checks are a big part of the collection. Hats and accessories have a place in this collection as well, with the kangol driving cap being favored above all else. While one might not expect all of these pieces to work in harmony with one another, the results are actually rather surprisingly effective.

A Look Towards Color and Contrast
Contrast is a huge part of men’s fashion (just look at Michael Kors Spring Collection…), and it’s an even bigger part of the Spring 2013 collection from Marc by Marc Jacobs. A great deal of the ensembles highlighted during fashion week showed pieces that exhibited a great deal of contrast when paired with one another; a red kangol hat paired with a casual white suit, for example. Even specific pieces feature contrast without having to even be paired with anything; a black backpack featured stark-white stripes, for example, and instantly set itself apart from the crowd. Color and contrast can do a great deal for helping someone to stand out, and the upcoming Spring Marc Jacobs designs are focused quite strongly on this concept.

Takeaways for the Modern Man
This collection features a great deal of pieces that would be perfect in the wardrobe of practically any modern man. The amalgamation of design concepts from different eras fits in nicely with the latest vintage trends that have been popping up in America, and is a great fit for the under-35 crowd. Anyone can take advantage of the use of contrast that is omnipresent in this collection, however, as it can be an effective way to draw attention to one’s self without having to look as if they’re trying too hard.
