Marc Jacobs Fall 2025 Collection
Marc Jacobs transported guests into his dollhouse filled with dreamy Victorian beauties. The fashion crowd returned to the New York Public Library on Monday evening, ahead of the July 4 holiday weekend, to delight in Marc Jacobs’ latest collection of dreamy Victorian beauties.
As usual, Jacobs’ show notes set the scene for the five-minute fall collection presentation of 19 concise looks, each striking, to the soft melody of “Song for Jesse” by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis. “Beauty,” the notes read. “A quality or combination of qualities that pleases the mind or senses and is often associated with properties such as harmony of form or color, proportion, and authenticity.”
Reflected in the fall collection—a fabulous continuation of bigger, twisted, doll-like versions of the familiar: a vocabulary he’s been developing boldly in recent years. Jacobs leaned into Victorian shapes blended with a grunge edge, seen in a model’s huge lilac lace blouse paired with extra-large, slouchy cargo pants tied with a giant bow in the back.
There were bows everywhere, on the backs of almost every look—including stunning sculptural lace dresses in lovely pastel or dark, vampy shades—and on wide-leg trousers, fitted or body-hugging; in the models’ hair; or twisted around a pale pink, layered slip dress that billowed off the body with precision.
Jacobs continued his story with tiny floral prints and pastel lace, transforming them into exaggerated Victorian doll silhouettes, some cut closer to the body than in previous seasons before exploding into puffed shoulders and hemlines. Her sculptural blouses were a hit: a wavy floral version worn by Alex Consani; a rounded polka-dot version on model Wali Deutsch; and a sweet yet strong white lace style on Sascha Rajasalu. But truly, all 19 looks were equally impactful. Once again, through fashion, Jacobs transported his guests into a dreamy escape, a fairytale beauty.
