Marc Jacobs, Spring 2012

So the other day I was looking around the website for fashion week, and I came across this dress from Marc by Marc Jacobs, and it was absolutely gorgeous. Of course this is my personal like and opinion. It really made me think of all the new things that are coming into trend and that are day to day common things. For example this dress, is a deep navy blue with little colorful swallow birds. We see birds every day, and we see dresses everyday. However, what makes this dress successful (besides that it is from Marc Jacobs) is how they took a bird, and made it into something different. In other words, this pattern is organic, yet modernized by the shape, and use of bright solid colors. Not only do we see this in magazines and runways, but we are starting to see this trend catch on more and more. Not only with birds and animal patterns, but with silhouettes and outlines of house appliances, school materials, and other everyday items.
