>> For the second season in a row, Marc Jacobs started his show promptly, just ten minutes after its scheduled start - only this time, half the attendees weren't locked out - everyone had learned their lesson. "Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats. The show is about to begin."

But show tactics aside, with Marc, it always comes down to the clothes - the mashed-up, layered, bangled clothes, sparkling, plaided, and sheened. As Gershwin played in the background, Marc took us in a whole new direction - and he did it while wearing a skirt.

And now, there are rumors swirling that the men's Lanvin show next week has an "all-ethnic" cast . . .
