Marc Jacobs is New York Fashion's showman — a for-fashion's-sake kind of designer who, for fashion's sake, crafted billowing feathered dresses and caped coats and brought out the iconic Christy Turlington to close out his Fall 2019 runway. Like a palate cleanser between the trends and emphasis on street wear [1], Marc is all drama in silhouette and in purpose — because what purpose does a feathered cocktail dress or a fascinator serve beyond turning heads? — in a room or on a red carpet. On that note, there are dresses we hope Lady Gaga [2] chooses for the Oscars [3] here (namely a tiered yellow taffeta confection that falls off the shoulder and a black-and-white balloon-sleeved minidress with a train in the back). That is, if she doesn't go for the obvious and steal the finale gown: a plum-colored number so spectacularly draped in plumage, it looks as if it's blooming feathers.
