Spring 2010 | Marc by Marc Jacobs

The last col­lec­tion from Marc by Marc Jacobs lived up to Jacobs’ sig­na­ture use of color, but the cre­ativ­ity felt sti­fled by the eco­nomic cli­mate, lead­ing to a range that felt old. For­tu­nately, inspired by the 80’s, Jacobs’ lat­est col­lec­tion returns to form for the spring 2010 sea­son. Embrac­ing a youth­ful zest and spunk, the col­lec­tion is actu­ally excit­ing. Offer­ing cuts that dis­tin­guish them­selves from pre­vi­ous sea­sons, Jacobs adorns them with a quirky mix of bright col­ors and prints. Pants are fit­ted, while gym shorts get leggy. Cropped over­size sweaters meet slouchy tees, while casual knit vests are along for the ride. Mean­while, clunky sneak­ers are strapped down for a mod­ern, yet nos­tal­gic look. Alto­gether, the col­lec­tion cap­tures a col­or­ful adven­tur­ous youth that is not con­cerned with long-​​term style, but instead a desire to live in the moment and we would not want it any other way.

Spring 2010 | Antonio Azzuolo

Suit­ing is Anto­nio Azzuolo’s exper­tise, but who knew he could have such fun with it. The dap­per prone aes­thetic gets an update for spring with “the eternal-​​youth com­plex per­son­i­fied by the sub­dued ver­sion of the Glam Rock-​​persona of David Bowie.” Azzuolo light­ens the mood with bursts of bright col­ors and suit­ing shorts that break up the monot­ony of the typ­i­cal suit. He even goes as far as to ven­ture into the ter­ri­tory of over­size knits and bleached shorts – but only for a hot sec­ond. Con­tin­u­ing on this path, that even­tual run­way show will be worth the wait.

Editorial — Cole Mohr for City Magazine

With a seri­ous tone and the absence of a mis­chie­vous grin, Cole Mohr under­goes a dark trans­for­ma­tion for the lat­est issue of City mag­a­zine. Styled by Julie Rago­lia and pho­tographed by Tim Zaragoza, the only thing Cole is miss­ing are a set of fangs. Does this “Dark Angel” make the grade?
