Marc Jacobs Barely Sees Black People
Posted by The MILF
Darn!Darn!Darn! Just when I thought Marc Jacobs had created an ad campaign that I could love, he had to go all WTF-racial on me. See, the clothes and stuff might be a little sucky, but the genius of Marc Jacobs is the entertainment factor, and I have been cracking up from the lady-mobster theme of his latest. Stella Tennant and Kirsten Owen play such hilariously fashion-challenged baddies — a trench with sweats and high-class sandals! — that I am dying to know who offed who for the Rocket bag in image numero doce. The weird thing is this: Why did a designer who based so much of his last (amazing) collection on black Americana — much of it shown on black models — only feature the hand of a black person in this campaign? And one who purportedly bit the dust at that?
