So far this SS09 fashion week Marc Jacobs is the only collection that has captured my attention for more that a split second.  He presented a lovely collection combining metallics, plaids, stripes,and solids- which could have been a mish-mash disaster, but was quite successfully executed.  It was very fun, and was much more visually interesting than his last few collections.  There are some beautiful woven metallic patterns which I loved (see the detail shots).  I felt that the only weakness in the collection were the shoes.
