Marc Jacobs goes vampy Victorian for fall 2025
American designer Marc Jacobs on Monday revealed his latest women's collection, once again off schedule, for the fall 2025 season, with the New York designer looking to blown-out silhouettes and doll-esque detailing. Returning to the New York Public Library, Jacobs' stage of choice for his spring 2025 collection in February, the latest offering from the New York designer was a punctuated line-up of just 19 looks, soundtracked by "Song for Jesse' by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis. 'Beauty. A quality or combination of qualities that gives pleasure to the mind or senses and is often associated with properties such as harmony of form or color, proportion, and authenticity," read the concise show notes, leaving the rest up to the discerning eye of guests, which included Julia Fox, Nicky Hilton, Ego Nwodim, Anna Sui, Jessica Wang, Tina Leung, June Ambrose, and fashion matriarch, Anna Wintour. See catwalk Recruiting model muses Alex Consani, Sascha Alexandra, and Agel Akol, Jacobs sent out a fairytale, whimsical collection of exaggerated proportions, which felt like a continuation of his doll-faced girls seen last season. But, instead of cartoonish, his reference was neo-19th century, made up of Victorian-inspired vampy gowns, cut with leg-of-mutton sleeves, inflated bustiers, and sweeping trains stamped by enormous bows. Not one to appropriate a historical era of fashion, the designer mixed in baggy cargo pants, and truly oversized trousers, pinned so to fit the model as she walked, as well as a billowy blouse, and very on-trend slip dress, taking his woman into the 21st century. See catwalk The majority of gowns featured lace or micro-floral prints, across a colour palette ranging from lilac purple to coffee brown and raven black, each model walking out on Jacobs' foot-engulfing heels, adding to this childlike quality of dressing up a doll. The last two gowns saw Jacobs go into vampy Victorian overdrive; one look a black-on-violet leg-of-mutton sleeve gown with deep ruffles and huge matching bow on the head. Only to be outdone by the finale dress, which had even bigger sleeves and a plaid top with a giant matching bow; black lace falling from the opening of the ruffled, billowy skirt. The blink-and-you'll-miss-it show lasted just five minutes. But, as always, it was a poignant expression from one of fashion's most incredible creative minds, at a time when originality in fashion is few and far between.

A Look Back at Prince William and Kate Middleton's Royal Wedding
14 years ago today, the Prince and Princess of Wales, Prince William and Kate Middleton, had their royal wedding at Westminster Abbey in London, marking one of the most highly anticipated royal weddings since then-Prince Charles and Princess Diana got married in 1981. The couple's wedding brought together much of the royal family, including Prince Harry, who served as his brother's best man, as well as Queen Elizabeth II, the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Charles, the Duchess of Cornwall and many others. More from WWD Kate Middleton Suits Up in Holland Cooper on Wedding Anniversary With Prince William for Scotland Trip Kate Middleton and Prince William's 14 Most Iconic Matching Moments: A Celebration of Style and Love How Ukrainian President Zelensky Chose His Clothes for Pope Francis' Funeral Leading up to the event, much speculation surrounded which designer Middleton would tap for her gown. The honor ultimately went to Alexander McQueen designer Sarah Burton, who went on to dress the princess on numerous occasions over the last decade before departing McQueen for Givenchy in September 2024. Middleton's dress embodied the modest, ladylike style she's become known for during her time in the royal family. The Victorian-inspired dress was designed with an ivory lace bodice paired with a high lace collar and long lace sleeves. Her satin skirt featured a nine-foot train, which was carried by her sister Pippa Middleton, who equally made an impact at the wedding in a fitted ivory-hued dress also designed by Burton for Alexander McQueen. Lace was a crucial design component of Middleton's wedding gown. The dress featured lace that was handmade at London's Royal School of Needlework based at Hampton Court Palace and was appliquéd with individual flowers that were hand cut from the lace. The bodice and skirt were designed from hand-cut English lace and French Chantilly lace. Buckingham Palace released a statement on Middleton's dress after the royal wedding, stating the dress 'pays tribute to the arts and crafts tradition. Ms. Burton's design draws on this heritage, giving the cut and the intricate embellishment a distinctive contemporary and feminine character.' Burton also released a statement on the wedding dress: 'It has been the experience of a lifetime to work with Catherine Middleton to create her wedding dress, and I have enjoyed every moment of it. It was such an incredible honor to be asked, and I am so proud of what we and the Alexander McQueen team have created. I am delighted that the dress represents the best of British craftsmanship. Alexander McQueen's designs are all about bringing contrasts together to create startling and beautiful clothes and I hope that by marrying traditional fabrics and lacework, with a modern structure and design we have created a beautiful dress for Catherine on her wedding day.' Middleton paired the Alexander McQueen dress with Queen Elizabeth II's Cartier Halo Tiara, which the queen's father, King George VI, commissioned in 1936 for his wife shortly before he assumed the throne. The tiara is set with 739 brilliant and 149 baton diamonds, according to the Royal Collection Trust. The accessory follows the tradition of royal women borrowing from Queen Elizabeth II's extensive tiara collection for their royal weddings. The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, wore the Queen Mary Bandeau Tiara at her royal wedding to Prince Harry in 2018 and the queen's granddaughters, Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice wore the Greville Emerald Kokoshnik Tiara and Queen Mary's Fringe Tiara, respectively, at each of their weddings. After their ceremony at Westminster Abbey, Prince William and Middleton joined other members of the royal family on the balcony at Buckingham Palace where they shared a kiss as spectators cheered them on from below. Later in the day, the couple held the evening reception, where Middleton again looked to Burton to design her dress for that occasion. Burton's design was more modern than the first, featuring a sweetheart neckline, jeweled belt and satin skirt. Middleton paired the dress with a white cardigan. 14 years following their 2011 nuptials, Prince William and Kate Middleton spent their anniversary on the first leg of a two-day trip to Scotland. The couple opted for casual, suit-style outfits on the first day of their tour, with the Princess of Wales wearing a double-breasted blazer in brown, courtesy of Holland Cooper. Over the course of their 14-year marriage, Prince William and Kate welcomed three children — Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, who just celebrated his seventh birthday. The last few years of the couple's marriage have also seen health struggles and challenges. The Princess of Wales publicly disclosed her cancer diagnosis in March 2024. In September 2024, Kate Middleton revealed she completed her chemotherapy treatment. 2025 has seen the royal return to public duties at a steady pace.
