Luxe Grunge – says it all. If one designer sums up this season it’s Marc Jacobs.

You may not wear an original MJ, but it’ll be hard to avoid the knock offs of this chicer updated grunge/boho collection; an unkempt approach to wardrobe (a la Olsen twins).

First motivated by Seattle’s groundbreaking rock scene in the 1990s – Jacobs’ update contains all the mainstays of yesterday’s grunge (flannel, plaid, layers and leg warmers) alongside today’s sophisticated pieces, including capes, shawls and jackets.

Although Rocelyn Sanchez’s recent I’d Rather Go Naked poster is grand – this time it’s not PETA getting women naked, it’s Marc Jacobs.

He’s gathered Carolyn Murphy, Christy Turlington, Naomi Campbell, Julianne Moore, Dita Von Teese and Selma Blair. The gorgeous sixsome have agreed bare down and pose for photographer Brian Bowen Smith.

The shots will run on T-shirts to raise awareness of skin cancer risk, they’ll be auctioned at Jacobs’ Sept aftershow party.

"Every single person I asked said yes, except for Hilary Swank," said Marc Jacobs’ CEO Robert Duffy. "But I am still working on trying to convince her. I refuse to give up." [via Vogue (U.K.)]
