From Teeny-Tiny Hot Pants to Office-Ready Pencil Skirts, Marc Jacobs's New Show Had Something for Everyone
Read our full review of the designer's latest collection presented during New York Fashion Week.
Marc Jacobs wants you to do you. His new runway show on February 9, 2026, which kicked off New York Fashion Week, offered a wide range of outfit ideas to suit nearly any type of dresser. If you live for a night out on the town, for example, you'll revel in the designer's leather hot pants (a bit of a misnomer considering they're closer to underwear than pants). If you're a more buttoned-up kind of fashion lover, on the other hand, you might gravitate toward the ruffled blouses, posh pencil skirts, and sumptuous outerwear.
“Surfacing on their own, memories shape, influence, and inform,” Jacobs wrote in the show notes. “Recovering the past also reminds us that loss is inevitable and that hope is work. Memories, both bittersweet and beautiful, are a faculty of purpose, influencing current and future actions—who we are, what we create, what we leave behind, and what we carry forward.” In other words, there's a little something in this collection for everyone, whether your mind is set on conquering your next major goal in life or you feel a bit stuck in the past. Scroll down for my complete breakdown of the collection.
No Hemline Left Behind
If you've ever felt like Goldilocks when shopping for skirts—this one's too short, that one's too long—you'll be pleased to learn that Marc Jacobs will approve of your choice no matter where your skirt falls on the spectrum of hemlines. He presented four distinct versions of the exact same skirt: mini, knee-length, midi, and maxi. Pick your poison.
Office Hours vs. After Hours
Are you an office siren or a social butterfly? As far as Marc Jacobs is concerned, there's no wrong answer. His latest collection offered outfit ideas that ranged from prim and proper to glittery and gleeful.
Cool Color Combos
Sure, you can never go wrong with black-and-white outfits or tan-and-brown looks, but if you want to experiment with pretty pigments, look no further than Marc Jacobs's new collection. My favorite unexpected color combo of the bunch? A chartruese sweater geniously styled with a baby pink skirt.
Outstanding Outerwear
In keeping with the choose-your-own-adventure theme of this show, the outerwear options ranged from old-school to bright to iridescent. The classic tweed coat is a timeless option, while the cobalt blue and sparkly versions definitely pack a punch.
