Marc Jacobs - Designer

[Lola701]

The CD at Chanel will not "work on tweed".
Most of CDs nowadays can't even sew...
They give moodboards, inspirations... validate other people's work...
They sometimes design (sometimes!), like Karl drawing with his fingers burdened by heavy rings...

He is not going to Chanel and the nails have nothing to do with that.

The nails are probably not practical to touch on fabrics but I think with the money he has, he is able to do many manicures as he wants.
It’s not like we are living with him to judge if he has them everyday or just when he is in representation.

But you are right, a designer doesn’t have to sew. But he has to know how he wants his clothes to be constructed.
They all sew at some point anyway, even Chanel, before becoming Chanel was a little couturière as it was the norm back in the days.

Thank god knowing sewing is not a barometer because I’m not ready to put Christian Siriano in any list.
