The Perfect Prom Dress for the Modern Punk
 |
A list wouldn’t be a list with out Marc Jacobs. He’s my go to designer for almost everything— skirts…Jacobs, dresses… Jacobs, perfume…Jacobs, how to wear a kilt…yup, Jacobs. The Marc by Marc Jacobs Spring 2010 collection was like fashion heaven, so having the opportunity to put the MBMJ “Acacia’ dress ($198) on my list of perfect prom dresses was inevitable.
This dress not only features cut-outs, one of the prominent trends I saw during Lord & Taylor’s Prom-A-Palooza, but the electric blue color is bound to add a bit of a punk flare to the typical prom pastels. Cut-outs can make a dress very sexy without looking to slutty. I think it’s often even sexier when dresses flaunt skin that is usually covered by clothing like the back, and the length of the dress keeps the sleazies away. Pair with super-high heels and a short, bold necklace— studs are optional. |
