Marc Jacobs taps the Roaring Twenties for spring collection, turning models into material girls

American fashion brand Marc Jacobs' spring-summer collection is a trip back to the 1920s with a twist.

The designs feature classic checks and drop-waist cuts, touched up with innovative materials such as translucent cellophane organza and sheen lame embroidery.

Model Lisa Selesner, who showcased the designs at a preview on Wednesday at The Foreign Correspondents' Club in Central, said she had always been a fan of the brand.

'I especially love their handbags - they are definitely one of his fortes. And I'm from New York myself, so I always support my New Yorker designers,' Selesner said.

'I have to say [my favourite piece] is one of their first 'it' bags, the Stam, which was named after the supermodel Jessica Stam. It's probably five years ago and I think that was when [Jacobs] really came out and proved to himself that 'Yes, I worked for Louis Vuitton, but I also have my own brand and this is my 'it' bag for my brand.''

Other models, including Ana Rivera, Coco Chiang and Mikki Yao, had outfits - such as a multi-layer retro fringe skirt with metallic finish, and a skirt with see-through plastic drapings - paired with the latest shoe designs, which Selesner had her eyes on.
