...Heroin chic is back full force, but with some new elements taken from various moments in fashion history. What could be more appropriate than launching a new flavour of heroin chic with the best known opiate-exclusive band?mims said:

genious????? hahahahahaha, that's hot!!!!bored_exhausted said:I'm indifferent with him, because he's nothing special.
It's absolutely ridiculous that he is called a genius
) I continue to cherish and wear through the years. I think he's the non-designer fashionista's designer! Or at least the source for people too lazy after years of searching for perfect vintage pieces!Fox in the Snow said:Anything of his (or his team's!
,Personally,despite that he constantly does a rather"Nice" collection on the women's ready to wear part,I think Marc(or his team) has ruined Louis Vuitton,I cant believe the same man made all those tacky handbags!!!it gets worse and worse every year!!
,the last collection that i think shows his geniusness was the Suhaily line,and it went downhill from there!!!I can still pay for the shoes and some of the prints.rach2jlc said:I found an excerpt from that interview that I mentioned (it was in the interview for which a link was provided in tfs post about which designers were gay/straight. Anyway, this interview was in Butt magazine
Excerpt follows:
That National Geographic collection that you did for Louis Vuitton men’s wear this summer, was that your intuition? I love that collection.
MJ: Yeah, me too. You know I’m very happy with the team that does men’s wear for us, with Keith, and with Olivier and Willy and Peter. I sometimes wish I were more involved. but men’s wear is not something I’m really good at. In fact, men’s fashion frightens me. I really find men who are fashionably dressed terribly unsexy. I think fashion is something for women. It’s a terribly sexist thing to say, but I just don’t find fashionably dressed men attractive, and men who take too much time in the bathroom and spend too much time on their body, I find a bit poncy and silly. It just doesn’t turn me on. So I let it go to the people who find it a turn-on and who are really passionate about it. Well then why the hell are your clothes so small?! I don't really think the Marc Jacobs man is one that spends much time in the bathroom. At least I don't. They care about how they look but its an efforless thing. LV now yeah...mucho time.
It’s weird to have your name put on the collections they make, isn’t it?
It is. I feel a certain amount of shame. I feel a bit fraudulent in saying that I’ve been doing this men’s wear collection when I haven’t had daily involvement in it. Although I can say very honestly I don’t do every part of the women’s collection, I am involved in every aspect of the women’s collection. But with the men’s, it’s a bit different. I feel like a bit of a fraud, and that’s what’s tough for me. I don’t know what other designers feel, but I just don’t like to pretend that I’m something that I’m not. I’m not superman and I don’t do everything.
So... after reading that... I had a little trouble paying MJ's prices...

I say that about a lot of menswear clothes. A whole group wanted to strangle me because I compared Gucci to BR. Some people really try and do a great job with higher end men fashion but some just do it to stamp their name on it and make a quick buck.Scott said:
