Just two single rows of metal folding chairs lining the runway was how Marc Jacobs chose to stage his fall/winter show in New York’s Park Avenue Armory. Inspired by a documentary called Hip-Hop Evolution, Jacobs preferred to let his clothes do the talking this season. The showman proposed corduroy coats, shearling-lined jackets and tracksuits with an urban attitude to them. In what was the most obvious homage to the music genre, he collaborated with artist Urs Fischer on the heavy-duty gold chains that swung from the necks of the models. The other standouts were the larger- than-life headgear by milliner Stephen Jones. Those, according to Jacobs, were his way of tipping his hat to the inimitable style of André 3000.
