WARDROBE: New York Fashion Week

If you can, start digging around in your grandmother's closet NOW. While everyone else continued showing sexy skinny pants, leggings and mini trapeze dresses, Marc Jacobs took a different route. This is not surprising as he's always pushing fashion forward like that girl you went to high school with who started wearing low-rise boot cut jeans before anyone else. At the Armory in Manhattan last night, he sent models down the runway to a soundtrack of classical violin music in refined, sophisticated looks that were lean and somewhat pared down (think of all of those old photos of your grandmother or great-grandmother in the 1940's). And hats played a big role too. The clothing was the anti-Nicole Richie/LA style of dressing in every way. It all looked very prim and grown-up.
