The trend for ladylike fashion continues to gain momentum as Marc Jacobs embraces the ideal again for the Louis Vuitton Resort 2011 collection. With as much importance placed on the transitional seasons as the traditional Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter collections, designers have been forced to seriously up their game.
Jacobs' vision manifests itself in flirty 50s-inspired attire that culminates in full skirts and coordination to the max. Skirts are cinched at the waist with leather belts, and oversized necklaces add a contemporary vibe.
