Marc Jacobs COLLAPSE is COMPLETE!

“Who needs a solvent company when ya got all this?”

“Fuck working! I’m retired!”

I really hope that this is a sign that pandering to the Kardashian demographic is terrible for business. Especially for, supposed, high end brands.

A SpongeBob tat?

God, I forgot that he proposed to his boyfriend at a Chipotle. I wonder if he put the ring in a burrito.

He should be kicked out of the fashion world for those tattoos.

He's intended to do an IPO for about five years. Never happened. Too ducking slow.

Remember how frumpy he was in the 90s?

Ugh...

[quote]A SpongeBob tat?

Lol I didn't even notice that at first. He's 55, he didn't even grow up with that shit.

[quote] Mr Jacobs’s dramatic physical transformation from “a withdrawn schlump in eyeglasses,” as a 2008 New Yorker profile of him said, into someone “muscular, bronzed, shining with diamonds"

Any pics of his "schlump" days"?

The IPO is never going to happen. LVMH is about five seconds from dumping him altogether.

Imo the worst tattoo is the one of The Simpsons cartoon version of himself. I mean, how vain do you have to be to tattoo an image of yourself on your body?

Sad.

What intelligent and successful person would want to wear clothes designed by a man who dates porn stars? It's all so sleazy.

You never hear anyone talk about his clothes anymore, when he used to be the golden boy of the design world. He was ignored at the Met Ball last month.

[quote]Remember how frumpy he was in the 90s?

Yes and the great irony here is that his look back then is extremely current, all the hot young things will be growing their hair and dressing that way soon. The female models already are going back to the early 90s - think baggy belted mom jeans, with loose sweaters or plaid shirts, beanies, large hoop earrings, clumpy shoes or sneakers. Floral tea dresses with striped t shirts underneath. Huge boots. Marc's problem is he's stuck in the 2000s. He needs to go retro - I mean GO GRUNGE, he was Prince Grunge back in the day. He can capitalise on that.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Is this English?

doesn’t know what anyone wants to wear’s company has been

His clothes are always on sale in discount stores.

Marc was really good looking at one time. What happened?

Secretaries from the Bronx are still buying his handbags.

I thought his makeup line and his perfumes were doing well

i own a polo shirt by MJ. It's absolutely SHIT, quality-wise. Really, Zara ones are made of better cotton.

R21, I thought his nail polish line was excellent. Tried a bunch at Sephora and thought his were the best as far as quality and pigment.

R16 , talk about time travel! Such a 90s look. Unreal....

[quote]he was Prince Grunge back in the day

Just remembered that his grunge collection was featured in this old Sonic Youth video, along with a young Chloe Sevigny

Yeah 90s is the new hipster retro. Like the 70s several years ago.

For the poster asking for shlumpy Marc, this was much of his look for the late 90s/early 00s- arguably his best design years too.

i have a theory about body transformations: it's the beginning of the end for everyone with an artistic job. when you start focusing so much on the exterior in order to looking good after decades of looking average or unshaped you can kiss your creative life goodbye. Marc Jacobs is perfect proof.

Does he still have his store in the middle of Provincetown?

Wow, that's an amazing change from R27's pic!

Why am I so turned off by Bella Hadid? The sister, too.

I think that it’s because the father is such a douchebag, and the mother is a social climber.

I knew a guy who sold pills in WeHo. He had EVERYONE hooked up on pain meds, Vyvanese, benzoato, etc. The Hadid chicks were regular customers. Hanging out with him scared the shit out of me, because I knew that if I started asking him for pills, he’d give them to me. I’ve never gotten into pills, and had enough common sense to part ways with him, even while I was drinking.

But sooo many girls and even older women in LA stay thin by taking Adderall, and fall asleep with benzodiazepines. I’m surprised more people aren’t turning up dead. Our country has a huge pill problem, and not just with opiates.

The Ptown stores been closed for a few years. I think it may just have been a way for Duffy to write off his home there.

Holy Hell dish more about the Hadids????

The law of averages says one of them is a lesbian. Any dirt?

His designs suffered as soon as he started caring more about his personal image than the work. He was edgy and different and grungy. Then he became a clone of every other wealthy popular gay man living in the gayborhood. He became boring

He sold out in order to become one of the "cool" kids. You can't do "out of the box / cutting edge" thinking when you claw your way into a box and make it your home.

That's why gays are no longer pioneers and cutting edge inventors. When you want to be part of the mainstream you can't be out there at the edge looking for new crazy things to explore.

Bella has has so much plastic surgery she doesn't look like her older self. Gigi was far prettier and has had little tweaks but Bella was Kylie Jenner and redid her entire face so they would not be the ugly sister.

I'm an attorney at a state agency and we have a lot of black women in secretarial jobs and data entry type jobs. My secretary is black and all of a sudden a few years ago she had to have a Marc Jacobs purse and it had to be one with his initials all over it. She went to Macy's to get it. She never makes purchases of $100 purses or clothes. She is notmally real cheap and gets the attorneys to give ger their hand me downs. All the black women at work started talking about MJ purses and buying them. Even the custodial help. These were not women making a lot of money or in middle management. I don't know how MJ all of a sudden became a thing for workering class and lower middle class black women, but it did and it is still a thing today. And all the female attorneys stopped carrying and buying them.

R36, I'm not sure but think it was either "Sex and the City" or "The Devil Wears Prada" the one responsible for MJ's sudden popularity among working class.

When and where can we find his stuff cheap now? Amazon prices are high

She destroyed the West Village.

You can pry his perfumes from my cold, dead hands.

Designing aside, it sounds like two key team mates (former business partner that kept him focused and the creative director who interpreted his ideas into practical pieces) were critical to his success and have since retired. It goes to show it's really all about the team.

R33, they’re legitimate pill poppers. Pharmaceutical speed and Ativan for sleep. That’s all I’ve got.

This should not be a big surprise. This is really big in LA, and lots of models and actresses have switched from coke, to pills, and bulimia.

His purses are hideous.

I buy my high end purses from Italy. They are made VERY well, and are worth every penny. Leather gloves, jackets, all from Italy.

Also, none of the stuff I purchase has a bunch of initials or gold lettering or brand symbols on them. It’s ridiculous to run around with an extremely expensive and tacky handbag.

If you want great quality handbags, boots, shoes, jacket, and gloves, buy Italian, off label.

R31 & R42, Bella was involved in a DUI/crash a few years back. I remember her mother airing her dirty laundry on RHOBH. It was all over gossip sites that apparently all kinds of pills were in that car. Somehow the mother's emails to Bella was published.

R39, how the hell is Bookmarc still open? People actually shop there?

R45, wow. I’m not into RHOBH, so not aware of that incident, but not surprised.

Neiman Marcus is selling his handbags for $400-$500. I guess working class secretaries are saving up their pennies.

can you imagine being marked with those hideous tattoos for life?

He’s made his money, has a beautiful townhouse in West Village, hot men throwing themselves at him - why work. I know I wouldn’t if I had his money.

Don’t cry for him. He’s engaged to a candle-peddling Brazilian hustler young enough to be his son. Life ain’t all bad for Marc.

Oh he was always notoriously self-impressed and dreadfully out if touch. As some of you may recall, who can forget the first time his atrocious behavior manifested itself in the pages of the NY Times? I mean I know in retrospect the 9/11 stuff is easy to parody now, but seriously, he should be a billionaire by now and the signs were there then.

Both he and Johnny Depp should just die already. Their lives will otherwise be 21st Century versions of Tony Curtis if they both live.

"He’s made his money, has a beautiful townhouse in West Village"

That's right, because nothing says financial security more than owning a beautiful townhouse in the West Village!!

His bags are all over Nordstrom's Rack and Off Fifth - the Sak's outlet if you are looking to buy one.

Bella is lesbian

Excerpts from Yolanda's letter to nasty Bella.

[quote]What an eye-opening experience to find beer cans, pink kittie bottles with vodka, bottles with Aderall, Vyvanse, rolling papers, and a car full of dirty clothes, dirty underwear with blood stains, tampax. I have honestly never seen anything like it.

R43, darling, even Amanda de Cadenet would remember the word "accessories".

company loses 61 million for the past few years...

You want to know how out of touch he is? He did a flash mob proposal at Chipotle!

My god, a flash mob, and an uncoordinated one at that. What is this, 2003? Even the dancers seemed embarrassed to be there.

[quote]My god, a flash mob, and an uncoordinated one at that.

God bless you, sweetheart.

[QUOTE]It’s ridiculous to run around with an extremely expensive and tacky handbag.

Completely agree, it just says: "Look at me, I'm a basic bitch with more money than taste!"

I never thought he was any good even when he was on top of the fashion world. Shit was so basic and not worth the money. I still remember his good friend Wynoa Ryder shoplifted his clothes! Bet they were doing drugs together.

He had a lower priced handbag line at Macy's, Dillard's, and the like which is when it became the purse to have R46. Hate to tell you this, but they were even carrying them at TJMAXX, because my secretary bought one there and returned it when she liked one at Macy's better. They were running about $100.

meth

[quote]Perhaps too concerned with his porn troll boyfriends, finding his next meth fueled orgy, and finding the tackiest self tanner like a washed up HK twunk?

Those aren't real problems?

He’s made tens of millions from his cut of Daisy — girls worldwide drowned in that perfume, and his other fragrances. He really nailed them. He doesn’t need to lift a finger dver again.

R36, R61, are you sure you aren’t thinking of those hideous Michael Kors bags with the MK logos all over them, including a huge, dangling gold MK logo charm? Marc Jacobs and his cheaper line, Marc by Marc Jacobs, are cooler and sleeker in style. They are often fairly low key, unadorned leather bags, or the nylon ones might have an ironic, retro vibe with crazy prints that are cute for younger women. The leather bags are also $300-$600. Michael Kors are much cheaper.

You're right, it is MK not MJ. Sorry.

Sorry but if I ever need to buy an overpriced and poorly made handbag it wouldn't be from a greasy meth-soaked whoremonger.

If he were a straight man, he'd be photographed in public at the beach with trashy porn star bimbos in bikinis on his arm.

He's an embarrassment.

I think it’s horrible that a multi-millionaire NY-er who is vaguely narcissistic and mentally dysfunctional would date - and even marry - porn stars or prostitutes. Fortunately this country looks down on those people and would never accept them in polite company.

Straight woman here. His makeup is really exceptional.

In the hazy distant past when i was youngish and willowy and Jacobs was soft and pillowy, he cruised me at Art Basel all afternoon. Later at dinner, he asked a mutual friend if I had a big dick and the answer was "correcte" en Français meaning - meh - average - and he never looked at me again that night.

Perhaps you could drown yourself in Daisy as a gesture...

His physical transformation happened while he was with (actual) manwhore and drug dealer Jason Preston. Here’s the before...

...and after

“Hey, we love to talk about Jason Preston, fashion designer Marc Jacobs' dim former hooker boyfriend/fiance/friend/who the fuck knows. And now he's going to talk about us! Well, only a little. Two of the boys from NewNowNext, Logo's news outlet, sat down with the geigh-about-town recently, and asked him to address the rumors (often perpetuated by yours truly) surrounding his relationship with Jacobs and dish about summer trends and reality television (he's "working on" getting his own show. He's "in talks" for his own "New York version of The Hills.") He says he doesn't read or care about the gossip, and that he often looks "like a bum" in Dior boots and Diesel jeans! (What does that make me, a rotting corpse?) Also, he has lots of people who love him! Sigh. He's just as dense and (drug?) addled as one would expect. And, of course, he shows off the famous Mariah Carey tattoo emblazoned across his abs. Ugh.”

R43, you sound like that older woman who was commenting a few months back about how that pretty former Trump employee shouldn't wear thigh high boots a certain way and the way it SHOULD be done is the way you do. You sound really full of yourself and I suspect you probably don't have the level of taste or style that you think you have.

Jesus r66 almost gave me heart failure. I have a couple of Marc Jacobs purses and I was about to burn them all at your post.

My Marc Jacobs purses are all falling apart. Bow I have to find a new purse brand.

R76 = Man who risked being shot by armed robber to save his Loui Vuitton Bag

Didn't Bianca Del Rio date him? I wonder why she never brings it up in her act.

his rags I saw in the discount pile at Ross

looks like his snarky meth life caught up wid him

say hi to bankruptcy...

did she have her chest implants removed yet? or her chin/cheek implants? omg she is desparate and …. not well.

she still in rehab?

Marc's money all went to hustlers, porn escorts and drug dealers- and destroying Bleeker Street. He should have settled down and married Andy Cohen, instead of sharing prostitues with him.

Didn't he just propose to his prostitue boyfriend at a Burger King?

Is Jacob's "fiancé of the month" another tattooed porn actor?

He’s a former go go boy slash hustler (of Brazilian descent of course). What i wonder is if Marc is financing his fiancé’s tacky scented candle business venture.

Marc finances all the hustlers business's. He financed another "finance" porn actor Henry Louis sunglasses store. What's up with Jacobs & low class hustlers from Brazil?

If you're super rich are you gonna take all that money to your grave?

Might as well spend it all in whatever makes you happy

The candle business seems to have folded a while back.

He made some amazing clothes for men from around 2003 to 2007 or so. I still own quite a few of his Italian baggy-yet-trim slacks and tight V-neck t-shirts shirts and sweaters. His look was always very kitchy when it came to womenswear though. Gaudy, boxy, clashing color schemes... I bought up tons of his crystal and china when he started to design for Waterford (maybe 2007 or so?). He came up with some beautiful pieces - and some really awful ones. When his line didn't sell very well I had a feeling that his brand might take a downturn as a whole. Marc's name alone should have propelled that crystal to fly off the shelves. His little known line for Moser crystal years before was far better in comparison and his star was already dimming. By 2011 or so his men's line was just bad - lazy, badly-cut hoodies and ill-fitting t shirts priced sky high for what they were - he was phoning it in and became an absentee designer much like a "later stage" Halston or Calvin Klein. His Marc line was cheap junk that never looked good on anyone. He had his money and fame and spent his time working out, socializing and whoring around (why not?). He was never a Helmut Lang (also somewhat short-lived but a true INNOVATOR in every sense of the word). Helmut declined due to fashion politics, but he never lost sight of his work - which was his only passion. Marc was a "celebrity" and Helmut was an artist. Neither is a bad thing, but the latter is much harder to come by in the fashion world.

Sotto Voce: (Attractive crystal by fashion designers? Wonders never cease!)

All his talent and money went into drugs and male prostitues. A fashion tragedy. :(

R33 Jelena is obviously sapphic. There was a big palaver over her rapid weight loss some time back so the pill popping would seem to be true too.

More please R89!

You know a lot about the fashion/design scene and relate it in a way that’s smart and compellingly readable.

I think I’m kinda crushing on you.

he been going downhill for a good while

his proposal to that ho in the macdonalds was a sad cry for help

He and his ho are always flying via private jet. Wonder how he’ll react when he’s forced to tighten the purse strings.

Will Marc Jacoobs wedding be held at a Costco?

R89, have you weighed in on the Andre Leon Talley documentary thread? I'd love to hear your take.

Is he close to 80 years old?

R78, so am I right? Are u that old hag?

New Marc Jacobs' bear wear!

Notice that European designers usually keep a low profile.

Lagerfeld is maybe an exception, but even he's able to maintain mystery about himself.

Jacobs, Posen...and omg Mizrahi ... spent too much time being STARS

If he is found dead with a needle in his arm, Bravo will throw Andy Cohen another party to celebrate a gay man’s life well lived.

Andy Cohen and Marc Jacobs are neighbors and having sharing rough trade hustlers for years!

Now we know that he can only afford to have his wedding with the prostitute at Taco Bell!

Almost all his stores are boarded up or closed after he aggressively gentrified & destroyed Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village!

"Sorry but if I ever need to buy an overpriced and poorly made handbag it wouldn't be from a greasy meth-soaked whoremonger."

Is this your subtle way of telling us that you don't get all of your needs met by a greasy meth-soaked whoremonger?

Nothing good ever comes from associating yourself with hookers.

Associating with hookers is like being a diva. You can geet away with it when you have the talent to back it up. Marc Jabobs and his sad PR attempts do not accomplish that.

Marc Jacobs is a genius. Who else would have thought to combine blue jeans and a plain white tee-shirt and charge an arm and a leg? I mean - brilliant!

It's assholes like Marc Jacobs that drove up real estate prices in Ptown into the stratosphere, so now respectable middle class queers can't afford to buy their second homes there.

His fiancé was credited in a recent Times Style article as a candlemaker 😂😂😂

R101 I don’t think I’ve ever even seen a European designer!

Those American designers who want the limelight are so silly looking.

Indeed. We Europeans always separate business from pleasure. We Euro designers are workers, not celebrities!

Bear with me while I come up with a pithy quote for this thread.

The candle his new hooker fiancé has is the uncut cock between his legs!

How long will Jacobs last with her new fiancé/make prositute escort?

[quote]Notice that European designers usually keep a low profile. Lagerfeld is maybe an exception, but even he's able to maintain mystery about himself. Jacobs, Posen...and omg Mizrahi ... spent too much time being STARS

True.

The American designers have been better at being media darlings than designers.

Perhaps that's why none have them.... not one of them with the exception of Ralph Lauren... has been able to create a lasting American luxury fashion brand with a world-wide presence.

Valentino, Lagerfeld and Gianni Versace worked years working their way up in the fashion business with little personal notoriety outside of fashion circles.

Isaac Mizrahi is little more than a TV entertainer.

Everyone here knows about Marc Jacobs boyfriends... but can anyone describe any style or look that he's created?

Zac Posen did a great video about himself.... perhaps he'll be remembered for that.

Oscar de la Renta built most of his career in the USA, after an early stint at Balenciaga.

MJ had a store that just closed over a year ago down south where I live. What's going on with his brand? If his company really is falling apart. He should probably just dissolve it and be independently wealthy. He should have either hundreds of millions of dollars if not at least 1 billion dollars in the bank.

It's not like he has to work. He has it.

He spent all his money on prostitutes! :(

AT LEAST 1 BILLION DOLLARS!

I think the European Fashion Industry had its fair share of enfant terribles. Yves Saint Laurent posing nude, John Galliano, or Alexander McQueen for example. But their input in fashion was groundbreaking. American Fashion designers who try to be cutting edge personalities can't really deliver on the cutting edge fashion imo.

Marc is so broke that he proposed to his new fiancé/hustler at Chipotle!

Is he still "engaged" to his latest South American prositute/porn star?

I’m very good friends with one of Marc’s infamous ex’s.

What Marc did do very well, actually, was to invest a good deal of money (I’ve heard around $100 million alone with Larry Gagosian) in contemporary art. This was when Marc was making tons of money with his successful Louis Vuitton collaborations [i.e. Murakami] while he was the Creative Director of LV. That artwork is now worth several hundred of millions alone if he ever needed to sell it. When I heard my friend had flown with Marc on Larry’s private jet to an art opening in europe, I said Marc must be a serious client of Larry’s and that’s when I heard the 100 million dollar figure.

Also, Marc’s current Chipotle fiancé isn’t Brazilian (tho he’s hung like one), he’s of Swiss heritage as his parents own or run a Swiss boarding school or something. He grew up between Switzerland & LA. His dick is so gigantic, it’s literally the size of a baby’s leg. He tops Marc, of course, but secretly is a raging btm when he’s bouncing around HK pnp’ng. Speaking from my own personal experience. Besides the fact that he was cheating on Marc (this was before they were engaged tho), Char seems like a sweet dude, almost child like; albeit with that massive piece of uncut meat.

Does anyone follow Marc Jacobs personal Instagram ? Or his fiancés ? They be living large gurl !!

Are there any photos of Marc's XXXXL hung fiancé? Post please.

The huge hung fiancé was one the highest paid male prositutes in NYC before Marc hired him as a full time escort.

Char reminds me of Channing Tatum.

You can buy his candles! Whoever said that went away upthread has no idea of his massive work ethic

If Char reveals that all his candles contain a drop of semen squeezed out of his masive cock he will run out of stock in a few days

pics of this toblerone please

I liked Marc Jacobs aughties quirky punk librarian fashions with retro details. His accessories were usually fun and kind of offbeat too. He did great work for LV. It’s really just the past five years or so that his brand and name has sharply declined in cachet.

Agarwood and Hashish candles? No Sweat and Semen fragrance?

Jacobs knows how to invest his money in huge cocks too!

Jacobs only likes hustler big uncut thick cock.

He's a designer. His stuff isn't going to be stylish forever. Hopefully, he hasn't sepnt all his earnings on rentboys.

Poor bastard. That's a serious middle-age crazy spell he's going thru. Yikes!😕

He has been going through the drugs & trashy male prostitutes with huge penis phase for over 20 years!

So he loves whores...does that mean he has herpes? eww.

I loved his schumpy look, he was adorable. Remember when he took over for Perry Ellis when PE passed on? I was so excited. I loved Perry Ellis, and Marc too. Always liked plain, classic and beautiful clothes, glad they're coming back.

He loves whores he can pay money to with lots of tatooes & huge uncut penis.

He looks ridiculous these days. Face full of fillers...spray tan...lots of women’s wear...bad toupee.

Jacobs looks and is insane! Drugs have destroyed him. Very tragic.

I bought a purse of his around 10 years ago. No initials, no bling and the most comfortable, padded, leather strap I’ve ever felt. The purse was well designed and functional. I don’t like his purses now.

Cosmetic line, however, has some good products and design.

people make the most horrible jokes bout him

he is a joke in the industry

he fukd up a good thing.

JUS LOOK AT THE TATTS::::THEY SAY IT ALL

Where does he find all these prostitues boyfriends?

same place he found herpes...

Any pictures of his xtra hung Boyfriends nude?

Marc Jacobs has good taste in picking men with the largest uncut penis. Does he find them online?

Is he really cavorting with prostitution whores?

Yes, all of Marc Jacobs' fiancées and boyfriends have been male prositutes, high end escorts and/or porn actors with large penis.

His cosmetics line does reasonably well so he may not be completely broke when the dust settles.

It's a shame that a man who had such imagination for clothes had very little imagination for life. Porn stars, hookers, drugs and tats? Yawn.

he been broke for a good while....sad man

That's Chris Marchant of Well Strung partying with Char at R129. I'd know that body anywhere.

Good eye R156 It is Chris

The trashier the prositute, the more Jacobs love you.

His cosmetics line is liscenced. If he was smart he would do a Kris Jenner and manufacture it himself and rake it in.

The Jet Set

Jet Set looks more like White Trash!
