— “Si el trabajo de Marc Jacobs para el verano de 2008 había sido un caótico, compulsivo y surrealista canto a la sexualidad, éste fue un alegato de calma. Tranquilidad sólo aparente que acabó por expresar una pasión menos furiosa, pero mucho más convincente. Fue, en realidad, una catarsis generacional. Una entrada en la vida adulta con optimismo y esperanza.” EUGENIA DE LA TORRIENT El País

—”The collection was solid but never stolid: a slim coat with a ring collar looping the neck; or another in powder blue with a snake of embroidery. Although a sweater worked with the word “Hardcore” was teamed with leather pants, the clothes were upscale…He gave a fresh and original polish to streamlined American style. It was a redemption for Jacobs and for a dull New York fashion season.” Suzy Menkes IHT

—”The clothes are not conceptual. They are calm, but with a bit of perversity. It´s hardcore softcore“. Marc Jacobs for WWD

—”Mais ici, un sens de l’élégance posée écarte l’anecdotique : sans y toucher, Marc Jacobs poursuit un propos lourd de sens, à base de lainages duveteux, métalliques brillants et velours onctueux.” Vogue Paris

—”There were no references, which was a great response. But fashion is so perverse that people were demanding them backstage. Mr. Jacobs played along, asking Ms. Gordon what she thought, then the artist Rachel Feinstein and the model Karen Elson and anyone else who happened by.

He elicited guesses like “revolution,” “Arctic explorers,” “Russian hookers” and “gold lamé pirates,” most of which referred to the feathered mohawks and tricorn hats created by the milliner Stephen Jones.

The correct answer, Mr. Jacobs said, was Paul Revere.” ERIC WILSON The New York Times
