Big name celebrities and musicians were sure to show their faces at the Marc by Marc Jacobs Fall/Winter 2014 preview party this past Friday, June 20. Attendees to the outdoor affair at the designer’s boutique included Keke Palmer, Zoey Deutch, Shanae Grimes, Becca Tobin, Jennette McCurdy, Natasha Bedingfield, and Michelle Branch.
Emily Armstrong’s rock band, Dead Sara, played a lively 30-minute set. Marc Jacobs International president, Robert Duffy remarked on the fun mix of music and fashion, telling Women’s Wear Daily: “We know a lot of artists that wear our clothes, and we are inspired by their music. Many collections over the years have been inspired to some degree or another by a song. Marc [Jacobs] is probably the most knowledgeable person I know when it comes to music of all kinds.”
The stars enjoyed themselves throughout the rock set – and definitely looked great doing it. 90210 and Degrassi vet, Shanae Grimes rocked a loose pair of denim overalls over a graphic crop top and red lips while Keke Palmer was spotted in sleek black and white patterns pants and an even sleeker draped black leather jacket. Zoey Deutch looked mature in a burgundy Marc dress with oversized navy sleeves and black fringe detail. After Dead Sara finished, Michelle Pesce spun a few hip-hop jams for the guests as they enjoyed ahi tacos, wagyu sliders, shrimp, and cocktails.
