Label Text:In this look, Marc Jacobs paired a near-exact copy of a U.S. Army service jacket with a long, romantic skirt. This unconventional combination demonstrates what Nicola Phelps describes as Jacobs’s ability “to pull references from everywhere and nowhere” and send them down the runway “at head-spinning speed.”
