When Marc Jacobs referred to the “weather project” after his show on Thursday night, I thought he meant the weather, which has been pretty lousy of late. But he meant The Weather Project, a 2003 installation at the Tate Modern by the artist Olafur Eliasson. I had to look it up, but that’s okay. Mr. Eliasson’s big artificial sun — 18,000 watts of sodium-yellow street light bulbs — explained a lot.

For his fall show at the New York State Armory, Mr. Jacobs put up a huge illuminated circle that, like Mr. Eliasson’s “sun,” sent out a yellow, decidedly unflattering light. Guests’ clothes looked colorless — as in a half-tone world — and people looked older, too, as if a little aged by the weather, or by Fashion Week. Tired faces were certainly the last thing anyone wanted to see, especially one’s own. “It’s just about simple clothes — the ones that give us pleasure,” said Mr. Jacobs, who was wearing bronze-brown pajamas. “I mean, it’s a no-brainer.”

He kissed a Girl and he liked it?  Well sort of.  Backstage provided some fantastic F-Bomb moments like when Rachel Zoe the only “celebrity” (she was less conspicuous than Posh in that she has a day job) invited to Marc’s show redefined the “air kiss.” Rachel  was one of the most recognized faces at the […]
