Marc Jacobs Spring-Summer Fashion 2012 Collection at New York Fashion Week – Latest Marc Jacobs Spring-Summer Fashion Trends 2012: They seek him here, they seek him there: now at last – if only for a heartbeat – Marc Jacobs has broken cover. Jacobs is at the centre of increasingly confident (albeit anonymously sourced) speculation that he is the top target to replace John Galliano at Dior.
Yesterday, the excellent US trade paper WWD reported that the only thing preventing this deal being done are a few trifling wrangles about just how mind-boggling his salary will be. But as the speculators speculate, Jacobs himself has remained resolutely silent.
Tonight we glimpsed him for a second when he took a bow after the spring/summer 2012 show for Marc by Marc Jacobs, the second – i.e, a little more affordable – line in his own fashion house.
The collection was a remix of other influences (a spot Prada menswear here, plus a smidgen of Céline and Jil Sander womenswear there) all shot through with his own handy knack for making clothes that are funky, desirable and young.
He took his bow in a black kilt, a white shirt, and chunky leather ‘don’t mess with me’ boots. Afterwards we raced backstage for a chat – Jacobs is normally delightfully talkative – but just like that, he’d disappeared.
“He’s working very hard on the main collection,” said a representative, “so he must have had to go straight off”.
Outside on Lexington Avenue, we’re pretty certain we glimpsed him roaring off in the back of an SUV, laughing and typing into his phone. Could the deal be done? Or is it all a baseless hoo-ha? Perhaps we’ll find out on Thursday night after the main Marc Jacobs show.
