Marc Jacobs, whose shoes and bags I absolutely covet (and the bags in this collection are no exception), is scaring me.  I’ve never really paid all that close attention to his clothes because nothing has ever really intrigued me, but I have never actually disliked them.  Until now.  And “dislike” is putting it extremely mildly.

Last year the Marc Jacobs Spring 2009 Collection included these elegant pieces:

The following is what Mr. Jacobs offered this year for Spring 2010 at New York Fashion Week.  A collection that was referred to as “overtly beautiful” by Women’s Wear Daily, btw.  Fortunately, I don’t have to worry about overtly offending anyone in the fashion world, so I’ll tell it you straight… it’s overtly horrendous.  And this btw, is me being overtly nice.  But fashion being as overtly subjective as it is, you decide… beautiful or horrendous?

Marc, Marc, Marc.  I die for your shoes, I die for your bags.  But this collection?  I’d rather be dead.

You can see a gallery of the entire Marc Jacobs Spring 2010 Collection at wwd.com.  If you are overtly inclined to do so.
