Sean John and Marc Jacobs Make Statement

Designers Marc Jacobs and Sean “Diddy” Combs ended the fashion week hoopla with major statements.
Jacobs, who is known industry-wide for his two-hour delays, was punctual. And all of Combs’ models were black.
Both of the buzz-heavy shows were presented to celebrity-packed audiences off-site from The Bryant Park tents. Arrivals included Victoria “Posh Spice” Beckham, Kevin Federline and Ellen Pompeo. Friday’s Sean John collection was Combs' return to Fashion Week after a five-year hiatus. And no one ever knows what silhouette Jacobs, the temperamental designer that’s also at the helm of the luxury brand Louis Vuitton, will send down the runways. The first picture is from Sean John. The second is from the Marc Jacobs collection. For full story and more pictures read Monday's Inquirer in the Health and Science section.

The Mirror Image team consists of Inquirer and philly.com writers with a passion for fashion and an eye for the trends. We live to shop and shop to live, but always appreciate a good sale. We know that “What I am going to wear?” is a serious question, possibly requiring consultation and multiple outfit changes. We believe beauty treatments can be a necessity instead of a luxury, and consider awards shows required viewing. Above all, we strive to bring style into our daily lives – and have fun telling others about it.
