It was as if the Victoria’s Secret Angels went undercover to model for Marc Jacobs in his recent New York Fashion Week presentation. All wearing a uniform of blunt, shaggy wigs and makeup-less faces, the sexy supermodels were virtually unrecognizable in Jacob’s shapeless, voluminous, and military-inspired spring 2015 designs.
If you hadn’t been told beforehand, would you have known that these models on the Marc Jacobs spring 2015 runway were some of Victoria’s Secret’s top lingerie ladies? Check out how different they look between the Marc Jacobs and the Victoria’s Secret fashion shows:

Even the ever-controversial Kendall Jenner could walk almost anonymously in the show. Interestingly, she was cast alongside many Victoria’s Secret models. Through the osmosis process, her dream of being a VS Angel herself might soon become a reality.

As for the shoes, it looks like Marc Jacobs is seeing a continuation of the ugly shoe trend until next year. In addition to Birkenstocks, chunky sandals, and pool slides, Dr. Scholl’s–inspired sandals with velvet or satin orthopedic footbeds are forecasted to rule next spring.
