Ah, the 1980s, architectural hair sprayed into place, heavy eye makeup, neon bright clothes, sharp shoulders. All this and more was on display during Marc Jacobs's Fall '09 collection show on Monday during New York Fashion Week. The show brought back artsy 1980s Manhattan in looks made for clubbing.Jacobs, as quoted by the
Wall Street Journal's Heard on the Runway said the show was a tribute to "What New York used to be before it was gentrified and such a boring place to live – when artists could make a living here." Jacobs recently celebrated th
graffiti stylings of Stephen Sprouse and this new line further cemented Jacobs current love affair with 1980s style.

im usually a big fan of mark jacobs' work, but IMO this is a pretty horrendous line. not very original and it completely lacks his creativity.
