While the rest of Paris was doing sportswear, Marc Jacobs was doing full-on lady at Louis Vuitton. A nipped-in New Look silhouette adorned a curvier-than-usual group of catwalkers (Laetitia Casta, Lara Stone, Elle Macpherson, Adriana Lima et al.)–fitted boucle coats, floral, checked or tweedy circle skirts, smooth leathers, bustier tops and oversized cable knits over poufy ball skirts.

It turns out that it wasn’t designers who were up in arms over Anna Wintour missing their shows at Milan fashion week, but Wintour herself. The fashion legend reportedly asked that the fashion week be shortened to three days so that she could attend all the shows, causing a stir in the Italian fashion world. The city’s mayor made a statement, saying: “Nobody, not even if her name is Anna Wintour, can take the liberty to do and undo our fashion calendar.” [WWD] Read the rest of this entry »

Marc Jacobs did sort of have a wedding in St. Barths

Wow. It's like a mirror image. Photos via stylexperts.wordpress.com

Remember when Marc Jacobs and Lorenzo Martone got married in St. Barths? But then they said they didn’t? That it was just an engagement party? Well, guess what? It really was a wedding. Sort of. There’s still paperwork. Martone told Butt magazine:

In the end, we just had an intimate ceremony at a friend’s house with people who were already on the island. Although the official wedding documents won’t be signed till later this year, so legally we’re not married yet.

But we bet you’re wondering, What does Robert Duffy have to say about all this? Duffy took to Twitter to answer what must have been a deluge of questions as to Jacobs’ marital status. Read the rest of this entry »

You can be strong about your sexuality and be a smart woman who wears lipstick and high heels and looks pretty.” [WWD]

Marc Jacobs is suing Christian Audigier’s line Ed Hardy for allegedly knocking off one of his handbags. Jacobs’ legal reps state that any infringement “has been intentional and wil[l]ful, calculated specifically to trade off the goodwill that plaintiffs have developed in their successful Marc Jacobs Pretty Nylon tote bags.” [Vogue UK] Read the rest of this entry »
