The official lookbook for the Marc Jacobs Fall/Winter 2012 collection has been released. Jacobs is renowned for his fusion “street” influences with luxury construction and this collection plays to his strengths. Jacobs Fall 2012 collection was inspired by Istanbul and 90’s skate culture. The Istanbul influence may not be as obvious but it is there in the earthy palette.

The skater influence is an ongoing theme for Marc Jacobs and is obvious in the flannel shirts, bomber jackets and army surplus vibe. But these are skaters with a trust fund. This is a designer collection produced in Italy with custom fabrics and finished by hand, with the prices to prove it. The flannel shirts are cashmere, the bomber jackets and parkas are lined in red beaver and the cashmere sweaters are worn with the casual ease of sweatshirts. Start saving now. You have a few more weeks before the new collections are available.
