Take a stroll through the Marc by Marc Jacobs mall on Bleecker Street and you'll notice a new tone to the windows. It seems Marc is mustering for war; quite a departure from the happy skunk scene of only a few weeks ago. At both the Accessories and the Mens boutiques, Marc is offering $45 refurbished old army kit bags, complete with a tag warning the buyer that any holes or discolorations are part of the unique nature of the item. What's not part of the nature of the item is the gigantic Marc by Marc Jacobs Surplus logo splashed across the entire bag, and lining the interior of some of the spring men's clothing.
Where exactly would this look work? Surely not in any of the neighborhoods MJ stores call home. Give us your thoughts and ideas in the comments.
