Under Olafur Eliasson's Weather Project's sunlight, the Marc Jacobs Fall Winter 2013/14 collection showed a woman caught - or lost - between day and night, wearing almost nothing but the necessary to cover up.
Coats with (presumably) quite nothing underneath, second-skin cardigans or sweaters, the shortest shorts or even hotpants are defining a late-fifties, early-sixties figure. The neutral tones which belong to the urban/work/men's day are quickly forgotten to give place to sequins scattered on other kinds of suits. From pinstripe to glitter, the woman inexorably slips into the night world - to dance (in lamé gowns) or to sleep (in shiny pajama suits) or finally to go out - under this sunlight, everything is finally the same, every woman looks like a sleepwalker venus in fur.
