Label Text:Marc Jacobs’s spring 2011 collection was decidedly “maximalist,” featuring bold embellishments and vibrant colors. This ensemble was among the most subdued designs in the collection, but it is far from mundane. Both the trouser legs and the sleeves feature long slits that billow dramatically when the wearer walks, but the color blocking over the sleeves renders them especially eye-catching.
