I mean, they are human…
And I think he was already a very established blogger when they were involved together so, it’s not impossible for them to be around the same circles even more in cities like Paris.

Pelayo Diaz being the BF of NG makes more sense than Marc Jacobs dating a Adult entertainer.

What is funny is that NG allegedly overlapped his relationship with Dossena while transition into the one with Pelayo...at least for the last 3 months according to spanish press, they also mentioned a NG with JD trip to Spain while NG was staying in the same hotel with JD but stayed in another room with Pelayo... crazy to think that of NG but like you said we are humans and i assume relationships in the fashion industry are complex like in any other fields.

I mean, JD worked at Balenciaga with NG. They have remained friends. They shared the same circle.
I’ve always been impressed by how NG has maintained good relationships with the people he has been involved with. Pierre Hardy, did the shoes at Balenciaga when NG was dating JK who was doing hair. MAS is working with PH, NG and JD. All those people attends attends each others shows. So it must not be as messy as it looks.

And I think PD is still invited at Vuitton shows..

They mostly all dibble and dabble with entertainers and sex workers - I know from experience. One could say he is dumb for falling in love with a sex worker or that Marc is just one of few living his life unapologetically, without shame for himself and not trying to put on for the echelon. The others would prob be cooler and happier if they tried being authentic to themselves.

Yes true but my point was that, beyond everything, it’s not a stretch to imagine someone dating another person from the same industry, even if it’s a blogger.
There’s almost a natural proximity in dating someone from the same industry as you as it is in most hetero or homosexuals relationships in the fashion industry.

Marc Jacobs always was more upfront with his dealing with the underbelly of society (verry nyc andy , halston etc ) and his grunge fashion etc being in nyc etc was not so off.....following his new fit and tattooed self version at LV post rehab fat marc, berking beach mark with toy bf ....etc etc but still he did also things with quality at the same time in his work.

i have more respect for him even if it's not my thing.

Ng he is bit more snob closeted gay intelectual and the flesh is weak i am sure he saw something in that spanish blogger and its fine but to pretend to be discreet is bit performative.

Marc married the guy he loves and is living his best live and being his best queer self even if its annoying people it think it more honest and honorable way.

As I said earlier, for me it’s more a question of natural association than lifestyle. Nobody is surprised if two people from the same industry actually date each other. My original comment was for the member who found it odd that he would date a blogger. They are in the same industry so it’s not odd to me.
The list of designers dating each others, Art directors dating stylists or designers, industrials of fashion dating designers or executives dating designers in this industry, straight or gay is endless.

I think for Marc, it was different because he was able to live a different lifestyle. Both are completely able to live the life they wants and to find the people who suits them. I don’t think NG’s current BF is working in the industry and his lifestyle allows him maybe to meet people from those others milieux.

And I say it without any judgement on his life.

It may seem more odd to see a designer with a PS, regardless of the fact that it’s Marc, but just because on the first hand, it’s not a common association.

But even that, Karl Lagerfeld and Jacques de Bascher were an odd couple on paper. But they worked and loved each other…

but gay male designers always had links to other males that have a more sexual background as a job to say it in a basic way , escorts , p stars etc ....going out in gay bars , clubs or other house parties ....high and low always mingle also in paris nyc london milan or other wealthy locations for resort and party /society ....have plenty of high society swingers , and other type of parties where all walks of life mix ...eyes wide shut style etc included happen

same way female models and straight males photographer rich men etc mixed in with yacht hopping, parties clubs etc etc

goes both ways and is a norm part of the industry beyond the few headlines that do make it to news

its somewhat marcs authenticity but... NYC has more movement across classes...this is foundational Americana.

I know things are more fixed in Europe and there is little movement across classes...so NG would never interact with a handsome Peugeot mechanic at a Ball who he falls in love with and is perfect match...
