If you can make even the most beautiful and willowy of models look frumpy and dumpy, then there's something terribly wrong. The above example looks to be sewn out of grandma's kitchen curtains purchased at Walmart circa 1950 (if Walmart was around then, that is). And I know that Marc Jacobs is supposed to be promoting the cause of "real women" - whatever that means - but he could at least design clothing that would flatter them. Unless you're aiming to look like a Middle American housewife, you should avoid above collection at all costs.

See, Marc Jacobs, this is what I'm talking about. If you're going to induce people to spend their life savings, at least do something fabulously couture-y.

Flash forward to his most recent collection, resort. Initially, I breathed a sigh of relief:

At least it wasn't as bad as Fall 2010, but I expected something a little better from a designer known for his creative genius.
