Everybody hearts Marc. Now he's set up a mini-mall on the lovelier end of Bleecker, bringing a full line for men and his brilliant bridge line, Marc by Marc Jacobs, to these two adjacent storefronts and (further down the street) a shop devoted to accessories.
Perhaps inspired by the alterna-preppy look sported by Spike Jonze, the menswear's full of simple separates: button-down shirts, perfectly-cut cords, jeans-style jackets of the softest moleskin in a muted rainbow of colors (olive, dusty blue, rust). There's even a smattering of boy-friendly accessories. As for the bridge line, it's just as stylish as its more high-priced sibling, with a vibe reminiscent of what you probably wore in high school, but with fashion-forward flair. Look for denim separates in non-traditional shapes (puffy sleeved coats and trenches), witty prints and kooky jewelry.
