Conclusion on comparison

By looking at few years collection of Jacobs, Mcqueen and Galliano, we can find that, three of them are influenced by each other, there are a few points I would like to draw to conclude.

1) Both Jacobs and Mcqueen like to use achromatic color scheme in their every collection.
2) Both Jacobs and Mcqueen may be influenced by Rei Kamakubo or Martin Margiela.
3) Both Jacobs and Galliano like to use bright and sharp color in collections.
4) Jacobs applied color scheme better than that of Galliano and Mcqueen.

Mean Girls Smack Down! Marc Jacobs Vs. John Galliano

NY Times fashion guru Eric Wilson overheard a conversation between fashion rivals Marc Jacobs and John Galliano last week while lunching at the Mercer Hotel that was more like a page from the Mean Girls script than idle chit chat!

Isn't there some unspoken gay rule that you're not supposed to have more than one diva in a room at the same time? It's like having your Madonna and Cher dolls over for a slumber party at Barbie's Dream House. You just don't do it!

Here's what they boys said and what they really meant (sort of) while speaking in gay playground code...

“Hi, John!” Mr. Jacobs exclaimed. “How are you doing?"(IN OTHER WORDS: Oh, it's you.)

“Good, nice to see you,” Mr. Galliano said. “Oh, you’ve gone a little darker, I see.”(IN OTHER WORDS: Still letting your midlife crisis get the best of you, I see. You look like shit.)

“Navy!” Mr. Jacobs said. “Na-vy.” (In my wildest fantasy, MJ punctuated each syllable with a snap!)(IN OTHER WORDS Girl, you look like a cracked-out John Waters with that silly pencil-thin mustache above your lip! When was the last time you looked int he mirror?)

“Oh, that would be a little chicer,” Mr. Galliano said. “Indigo!"(IN OTHER WORDS: Miss Thang, you are so trashy! You couldn't look chic if you tried!)

“Well, if you ever feel like having tea or coffee, I’m sort of bedridden for a few days, so I can’t move far,” Mr. Jacobs said. “I had an operation.”(IN OTHER WORDS: I've got a whole team of plastic surgeons, nutritionists and personal trainers working on making this look hot! You're just jealous that all the fashion magazines actually want to photograph me in the birthday suit that God designed!)

“Oh really?"(IN OTHER WORDS: Oh Really?)

“Sex change."(IN OTHER WORDS: Girl, at least I don't look like a messy daytime drag queen on a hot day! Toodles!)

Marc Jacobs jealous of John Galliano?

Frillr is reporting that super tan Marc Jacobs is jealous of costume king, John Galliano, reportedly trash-mouthing his rival during workouts at the David Barton Gym on West 23rd Street.

According to a Page Six spy, the American designer “Marc and his trainer always talk very loudly - it’s annoying. All he does is complain about Galliano - even after [Galliano's best friend and right-hand man] Stephen Robinson died in April. It was disgusting. He’s so jealous of John.”

What's to be jealous about? They're both creative directors at iconic French fashion houses, they both design ready-to-wear collections under their own brand and both one of them designs Haute Couture.

CATWALKS (REI KAWAKUBO, MARTIN MARGIELA)

REI KAWAKUBO

Tokyo-born Rei Kawakubo is the inspiration behind the internationally recognized Comme des Garçons fashion name. Characterized by white and minimalist interiors, the company's retail outlets were designed by Kawakubo and Japanese architect Takao Kawasaki. Kawakubo's clothing has often been seen to embody notions of anti-fashion, often asymmetrical in appearance, using folds and pleats, exposed stitching, together with the incorporation of ‘found’ materials and the use of contrasting textures and fabrics. Rei Kawakubo's work is both paradox and ideological imperative. Minimal, monochromatic, and modernist. Kawakubo's themes combine the essence of Japanese traditional work-end streetwear, its simplicity of style, fabric, and color, with an admiration for modern architecture, especially the purism of Le Corbusier and Tadao Ando. The tradition of the kimono, with its architectural silhouette off the body and its many-layered complexity of body wrappings, combines with a graphic approach that is flat and abstract.

MARTIN MARGIELA


Martin Margiela is a powerful talent in avant-garde fashion. Formerly an assistant to Jean-Paul Gaultier, the Belgian-born Margiela showed his first collection in 1989 and immediately achieved cult status. He was heralded as fashion's latest bad boy genius and the most notorious exponent of la mode destroy. He dislikes the term "destroy fashion" and has insisted he does not regard it as destructive when he slashes old clothes. On the contrary, he told Elle in April 1991 that it is his way of "bringing them back to life in a different form."

Elements that interaffecting

Apart from colors, there are still something that Mcqueen, Jacobs and Galliano inter-influencing. More examples are as follows:




2009 Marc Jacobs (L)
2009 Christian Dior (R)

Both of Jacobs and Galliano projected a see-through style which adds a little erotics feeling. The main element they really look the same is that, they are both striped see-through and showing underwear of the model. So, I think Jacobs and Galliano must be inter-affecting.


2009 Marc Jacobs (L)
2005 Alexander Mcqueen (R)


Can you find anything special among these two pictures? Mcqueen applied this checks pattern in his collection in 2005, and this year Spring Summer collection of Jacobs also applied checks which is very similar. Besides, Jacobs not only appplied checks with red color, but also achromatic color scheme.


2009 Alexander Mcqueen (L)
2004 Christian Dior (R)

The first reaction I saw Mcqueen's collection this year is that...DIOR 2004 COUTURE!!! I could hardly forget what Galliano has did in that year, it's really gorgeous and amazing!! Can you see both of their hat? They are almost the same!! Who can bet that three of them are not inter-affecting??
