Marc Jacobs Gets Last Laugh at Paris Fashion Week Louis Vuitton Show

Marc Jacobs pulled a fast one on the international editor set at his Louis Vuitton show in Paris yesterday (Oct. 7).
The designer is mostly fawned over by the press, however the consistently tardy designer has earned himself a few
enemies too.
In 2007 the Jacobs' reputation for lateness led to a very public fight with editors in 2007, when his New York Fashion Week presentation started more than two hours behind schedule.
After influential International Herald Tribune critic Suzy Menkes savaged him in her review -- slamming his tardiness, among other things -- Jacobs sounded off:
"I work my ass off. I don't take vacations. I don't have homes all over the world. I don't ride horses: I [bleeping] work for a living. Again, like this idea, you have a family? OK, well that's nice, I don't, and I work. So leave me alone and don't come to the show next time."
This was already after Vogue High Priestess Anna Wintour had warned him to get a watch in 2005, when his show was only half an hour late.
But Jacobs had the last laugh this Wednesday, when he started his spring 2010 Vuitton show promptly on schedule -- before many dawdling seat-holders had bothered to show up.
"It was crazy," said a spy. "The front row was half empty when the lights went down!"
Many editors were heard grumbling later that Jacobs had found a novel way to stick it to his critics.
But with design talent like his, Jacobs is laughing all the way to the bank!

I do a lot of TV and modeling work. My business is all about looks and how to look perfect at any time, and any place. I’m not young anymore and this is now harder than ever. I thought my career was almost over but GenFX™ is my secret weapon. Quite honestly, I look 10 years younger than my real age!

Please give me a break! These fashion designers, critics AND editors...IN PARTICULAR Anna Wintour ...are over rated, horribly over paid and needless to say their point of view is incredibly skewed and misguided. Everytime I see "haute couture" rags and the mags that inevitably follow...I just laugh. The majority of what walks down today's runways is GARBAGE...it's trash. The days of truly tasteful fashion have long been forgotten and been replaced by these so called "artists"...and people like Anna Wintour promote this crap. Perhaps Ms. Wintour and her band of nit wit rag designers should check the attitude at the door...while they are at it, might want to check into acquiring more taste than what's in the mouth.

Avant Guard is a fad, nothing more. It's in the spotlight but will be out soon. There are plenty of designers that do beautiful work. The problem is people look and runway shows and expect that to be what walks down the street. Almost every runway show is reinterpreted to be sold to a mass market because the critics don't want to see jeans and t-shirts walking down the runway, but that's what sells so designers make funky pieces of art that aren't exactly wearable and the design something else to be sold. It's like concept cars, you'd never actually drive one but they're so pretty to look at.

I love fashion and luxury, but I don't like Louis Vuitton's clothing and handbags style personally, I love Hermes handbags, here you can find more fashion handbags! http://jtty.com/pqu2
