Marc Jacobs' Spring 2000 line is sure to become one of the most important collections of the season. The mood of the clothes was evocative of a California surfer girl on holiday in a Parisian discotheque circa 1979: canvas trousers with green and red piping were paired with poor boy cashmere T-shirts; Nimes denim pants, sundresses, and skirtsuits looked crisp and fresh with striped gauze tops. The clean and simple lines were thrown occasional accents—like paillette trimming on green cotton satin pea jackets, spotted dresses, and striped trousers. The overall feeling: effortless, understated chic.




The above picture shows how is in a Parisian discotheque, and Marc Jacobs' collection is inspired by the wearing inside the discotheque. However, you can compare the atmosphere in the above picture and the below. Although Jacobs's outfits can express the mood, the decoration or design of the runway cannot let others feel the mood well.



Analogous Color Scheme is used, both the red and bluish purple is the colors that Jacobs always used.




Monochromatic Color Scheme is used, giving a feeling of sophisticated.




I love these two outfits the most among the collection. I would say, they must be the apply of your eye if you were in the discotheque! These two outfits fully expressed California surfer girl on holiday, which I can feel Sun shine from them! But how could Marc Jacobs do that? It is not because of the skin color of the model, is the main color Jacobs used is Orange, Red and Green. But it is not enough to bring the mood, I think Marc Jacobs is just like playing magic when he apply colors. The above, Principle of Order is used, you can find that (the left photo), Jacobs firstly used the Achromatic black contrasting with a red line, then will be the monochromatic color scheme of red, followed by the complimentary color scheme. It is really amazing!

FALL 2000

Marc Jacobs continued doing what he does best: reinterpreting classic favorites with a refined, self-effacing skill. This time around, '70s wardrobe favorites—head-to-toe looks that call to mind a sophisticated feminist art dealer with a penchant for the organic—underwent his skillful surgical treatment.





Again, this is the colors, and color scheme he usually used, analogous color scheme. This would give me a feeling of office girl in 70's.




I love the plastic jacket, the pattern fully expressed " I am designed by Marc Jacobs". Actually, in the pattern, split complimentary color scheme is used which RED, YELLOW and GREEN are used. I would say this give me a feeling of modern but not 70's, it would still be fashionable if you wearing this to your office.


SUMMARY
In 2000, the color schemes that Jacobs always use are Achromatic Color Scheme, Analogous Color Scheme and Monchromatic Color Scheme. But he used Split Complimentary Color Scheme and Principle of Order to project some special feeling. For example, Red, Orange, Yellow and Brown can give us feeling of Summer, Beach.
