Η καμπάνια Φθινόπωρο/Χειμώνας 2016 του Marc Jacobs μόλις πέρασε σε άλλο επίπεδο, με τη συμμετοχή των Cara Delevingne, Marylin Manson, Courtney Love και St. Vincent , σε μία ομάδα που ήδη περιλαμβάνει τους Missy Elliot, Sissey Spacek, Genesis P-Orridge και Grace Bol .
Ο φωτογραφικός φακός του David Sims απαθανατίζει το καστ του Marc Jacobs σαν να αποτελούν μέρος ενός περίεργου τσίρκου μόδας, με τον St. Vincent να μοιάζει με μαριονέτα και τον Marylin Manson να μοιάζει με τον διαταραγμένο αρχηγό τους. Όπως πάντα, ο Jacobs έγραψε εξαιρετικά λόγια για τον κάθε ένα από το καστ, όταν ανέβασε τις φωτογραφίες στο Instagram.
Ορίστε τι έγραψε για την Cara: “Νιώθω ότι είμαι τυχερός που γνωρίζω ένα μοντέλο με προσωπικότητα τόσο μεγάλη που σχεδόν επισκιάζει ακόμη και τα πιο δυναμικά looks -την πιο δραματική μόδα. Βλέποντας την ανάπτυξη και την εξέλιξη της Cara σε μια δυναμική, ειλικρινή, ανεξάρτητη γυναίκα, είναι μια αληθινή χαρά όπως ακριβώς είναι και η ίδια “.
Ο Marc Jacobs έχει συνεργαστεί και στο παρελθόν με γνωστούς καλλιτέχνες, όπως η Cher , ο Anthony Kiedis των Red Hot Chili Peppers, η Willow Smith και η Christy Turlington μεταξύ άλλων.
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.

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-whore 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.

MISSY, Supa Dupa Fly From the moment I heard, The Rain, back in 1997, I was entranced by the genius rhythms and brilliant rhymes of Missy Elliott. Missy’s music has kept me and my design team happily energized through countless weekdays, weeknights and weekends during those long hours of sketching, fitting, styling and doing looks. In addition to the boundless energy of her music are the visually pulsating and wildly cartoon-like music videos she made in collaboration with the talented and visionary, Hype Williams. I am in continued awe of Missy’s ability to push the boundaries of the style of music both to the eye and to the ear. It was a dream of mine to work with her and I’m happy to share this portrait by David Sims for our Fall ’16 campaign.
