Bummer, I wanted to hate this! Maybe Cara should go on more breaks, I've been mad about all her work after the brief hiatus. So much attitude in this shot.

Cara killed it with that shot! Tyg Davison shot for the campaign too if I remember correctly.

This is real fashion. I love it. It's so good to see something like this these days.

Something is going on with Marc, a good thing, he's taking this brand in a direction that I'm really enjoying. I think that he is one of few designs that are making real fashion. I will pay o lot more attention to him after this ad.

MANSON, Brains and Beauty

Ironically, I met Marilyn Manson on Halloween in Los Angeles shortly after the release of his album, Antichrist Superstar in 1996. It was after meeting him that I started listening to his music- in large part because I was intrigued by his persona and curious about his perverse and incredible intellect.
The Beautiful People and its accompanying music video with all its gorgeous grotesqueries is what sweet dreams are NOT made of… The incredibly powerful and frenetic pace of the video with the attenuated and elongated Manson pulled, disfigured and contorted by means of surgical devices, dental apparatuses and other contraptions is absolutely nightmare inducing and an outrageously captivating attraction of repulsion.

For our Fall 2011 fashion show, there was no better song to send the girls marching down our boudoir comme insane-asylum runway than, The Beautiful People. It was the perfectly twisted companion for that collection which played at a volume that nearly shook the walls down.
In direct contrast to the outward hideous beauty of Manson’s stage persona is his instinctive, inherent intelligence and understanding of what matters. These days more so than ever I am reminded of Manson’s interview in the documentary film, Bowling for Columbine and his response to a question asking what he would say to the kids and Columbine community in the wake of the tragedy that took place in 1999. His response was, “I wouldn’t say a single word to them. I would listen to what they have to say, and that’s what no one did.” Sometimes knowing when to listen is more important than being heard, and in one sentence Manson left a stronger impression on me than his music ever had previously." -@themarcjacobs

The last image blew me away! Manson fits this collection like a glove. Much, much better than his YSL campaign. No way Marc can exceed this!

Courtney Love

COURTNEY, R(evolution)

With my abundance of respect for Courtney Love’s musical contributions to grunge/rock culture and her status as this sort of, Grunge Goddess, it was her mesmerizing and extraordinarily moving portrayal of Althea in the film, The People vs Larry Flynt that simultaneously broke my heart and won my love.
While I hadn’t yet met Courtney during my time as Creative Director at Perry Ellis, it was her then style that had a great influence on that now infamous “grunge collection” show in 1992.

Courtney and I (and a then 2 or 3 year old Frances Bean) first met at dinner with Anna Sui in 1994 at Bar Six in NYC. I remember being quite taken by her deep, thorough knowledge of and voracious appetite for fashion and music. There has always been a genuine allure about Courtney that I continue to admire. The way she’d scream her lyrics from that gash of a red mouth to the hard rocking, wailing sounds of Hole. She was then and remains now, for me, the ultimate divine mess in a dress. Gone but no where near forgotten is the girl-woman Goddess of Grunge in her too small tattered dresses, the little girl barrette in her messy, scattered hair and beaten up brocade 1960’s evening shoes.
It’s a long distance from the now iconic kinder-wh*re Courtney photographed by Juergen Teller for I-D magazine in 1994 to the movie star glamour of the powerfully aloof and infinitely present Courtney, photographed here by David Sims for our Fall ’16 campaign." -@themarcjacobs

Yes Marylin Manson, best image so far !

Jacobs/Sims are killing the campaign game this season.

 

[Nomar]

Sissy's shot is definitely the standout, absolutely gorgeous, but I really don't understand the need for all these images. His campaigns feel like they're more about the celebrities and hype than the actual clothes.

"JUNO, Family
Many, many years ago my dear friend Paul Fortune would often tell me about his then 10 year old Goddaughter, Juno Temple. Thereafter, every 6 months or so he would request a pair of our most outrageous or tallest platform shoes to gift his Goddaughter as she would not wear any other shoes but ours to school. A decade ago while Paul and I were having tea at Claridges in London, he presented me with some of her design sketches (and they were good!) as it was her dream, at that time, to come work with me. Fast-forwarding to this past January I was invited (again by Anna Sui) to the HBO premiere of VINYL in New York City. On my way out of the Ziegfeld Theatre, this larger than life, wildly enthusiastic and incredibly jovial, adorable woman approached me. Not a second before I recognized her as the, up and coming A&R girl from the series, she exclaimed, "I am Paul's Goddaughter!” It was then when I fell head over high heels in love with Juno. Juno’s soaring spirit, sparkle and effervescent charm is impossible to resist. Her cheeky character is captured perfectly here by David Sims for our Fall 2016 campaign." -@themarcjacobs •

No way! This just got even better, I adore Juno and she works so well with the Jacobs brand.

 

[Benn98]

Courtney Love looks like she was shot by Meisel! Love it, next to Manson these are my favourite shots so far!

Fantastic campaaaaaaaaaaaaaand it's gone.

KENDALL, Supermodel

I will always remember the first time I met Kendall during castings for our Fall 2014 fashion show. Katie Grand invited her to come by the studio for a brief introduction before she was photographed for the model boards. At the time, I knew very little about Kendall…
As history now has it, her very first fashion show was for Marc Jacobs Fall 2014. Kendall has since been a part of every show along with being featured in our Spring ’15 ad campaign (also shot by David Sims). It goes without saying that Kendall has gone on to establish an incredible career for herself and every bit of it is a testament to her hard work, passion and desire.
During castings for Fall ’16, due to the enormous height of the boots we designed, we had to make certain that each girl was able to walk (and walk safely). Kendall slid those boots on and walked around the studio as if she was in a pair of running shoes: statuesque, confident and just as enthusiastic and excited to be doing the show as if it was her first one.

For me, it is the ability of a model to effortlessly transform into a look and character that makes her so appealing and inspiring.

very happy for Kendall

 

[Benn98]

Fantastic campaaaaaaaaaaaaaand it's gone.

It doesnt even look like her! More like this was captured mid-pose.

I read Marc's little intro, and the others all sounded pretty earnest, but I'm struggling to see why he's so enamored with Kendall. It seems her charm only manifests once she's surrounded by her clients, lol.

 

[anlabe32]

You can't really recognize her anyway. No one will see this in a magazine and say "hey that's Kendall". Casting her is purely for social media.
