Marc Jacobs Debuts Devon Lee Carlson Capsule Collection
Who: Marc Jacobs
What: Collaboration with Devon Lee Carlson
Where: Online at marcjacobs.com and in stores at Marc Jacobs Madison Avenue and Melrose Place
Why: In honor of Carlson’s birthday, Marc Jacobs has joined forces with the designer and bona fide Cali cool girl to create a line of RTW and accessories influenced by her childhood—specifically, the early aughts, which are undeniably back in vogue. Her unique sense of style and creativity come to life in the form of baby tees, ruched slip dresses, and a re-release of an archival Marc Jacobs bag that Carlson herself bought years ago. Her own doodles—and even her dog—also make an appearance via printed tees, making this collaboration that much more personal.
