Prior to his previous creation titled “Wicked”, designer Marc Jacobs is once again treading on the path of the iconic Yellow Brick Road, this time with his new collection themed around “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz”.
To mark the 85th anniversary of the iconic MGM film, the renowned fashion designer has brought Dorothy, the Tin Man, the Scarecrow, the Cowardly Lion, the Wicked Witch of the West, and other beloved characters from The Wizard of Oz onto his signature bags, clothing, jewelry, and accessories. The collaboration between Marc Jacobs and The Wizard of Oz ($95 to $550) includes top-sellers adorned with scenes from the movie, such as the Sack Bag, which features Dorothy’s ruby red slippers with blue gingham details; Tote Bags in various sizes like Small, Medium, and Large in canvas, leather, and denim; Snapshot and Leather Mini cross-body bags; and mini wallets.
Additionally, you’ll find oversized and cropped graphic tees; chunky silver charm bracelets, necklaces, and belt straps adorned with items like the key to the Emerald City, Toto, crystal-encrusted slippers, and more; a cashmere sweater boldly proclaiming “Surrender Dorothy”; a black denim jacket paired with matching jeans; and eye-catching rhinestone-adorned Kiki mary-jane platform heels, similar to the pair Jacobs wore when he received the first-ever Fashion Trailblazer Award at the 2019 MTV Video Music Awards.
Since Marc has always cherished ‘The Wizard of Oz’ from his childhood, this collection is designed to honor collaborative efforts within our cultural community at a significant moment. For the past 85 years, this enduring tale has offered comfort and motivation, and our goal with this collection is to boost spirits and celebrate that lasting enchantment. Notably, the 1939 original gave rise to the LGBTQ+ term ‘a friend of Dorothy,’ a reference made in ‘Clueless.'” (The classic film ‘The Wizard of Oz’ inspired this term.)
Previously, Jacobs launched a series of nail polishes themed around the legendary film, featuring a dazzling ruby-red shade christened “Surrender Dorothy.
