Label Text:Marc Jacobs is at the forefront of fashion trends, with an urbane and imaginative style that is constantly evolving. He unexpectedly reversed the runway order of his spring 2008 collection, and this dress—originally meant to be the finale garment—was the first shown. It has the styling of a 1950s ball gown, but is tousled and transparent, creating the effect of dishabille.
