“There’s now the CFDA fund, which I know is set to help young people. I had a big issue with the CFDA back in my Perry Ellis days, because I really didn’t see what they were doing for the designers.

In an interview yesterday with The Times: ‘I’ll reserve judgment on celebrity lines in general, but I think Victoria’s in a different category. She’s really working her ass off. She knows her body very well and she’s making something that really appeals to women who want beautifully made, figure-conscious clothes that aren’t vulgar. I wouldn’t say she asks my advice, but she’s always keen to learn. She’s lovely.’

Madonna is out at LV, and Lara Stone is in. Rumor has it that Marc Jacobs has signed the blond for the S/S 2010 Louis Vuitton campaign, to be shot by Steven Meisel.

No choice but to throw a “bone” to Mr. Jacobs for another amazing window display.

Marc Jacobs read my mind…I’ve been raving about afros this entire season, and here they are, right on the runways of Paris. Here is what Marc said of his collection for Louis Vuitton: “Street clothes, embracing the hippie-cyber, tribal-punk world.”

Even though everyone and their gay in the closet brother would watch, Marc Jacobs won’t be hitting the reality circuit just yet. Sorry Bravo, you’ll just have to settle for every other fame whoring designer out there.

Barneys CO-OP’s new mailer, one of “The Books” for Fall 2009 is now available on The Fashionisto. Appearances include Marc Jacobs, Filson, Surface To Air, and A.P.C. and starring William Eustace, Tyler Riggs, Lenz von Johnston and Jethro Cave.

A little (but very reliable) bird, who happened to attend Marc Jacobs’ Spring 2010 show, told us that Lady Gaga stood at the show. The front row/ standing room issue has been an ongoing debate lately, but to not have Gaga sitting front and center, let alone not sitting at all, seems a little out of character for a designer who’s all about his celebrity following. Did any of you who attended Jacobs’ show notice this?

Marc Jacobs will show his S/S 2010 collection for Louis Vuitton on Oct 7th via live stream on Facebook at 2:30 p.m. Paris time, which is 8:30 a.m. in New York.

Marc Jacobs is jumping on the designer-turned-comic book bandwagon with Lady Gaga..or rather Lady Saga?  Not quite sure what is going to happen here, I guess we’ll have to wait and find out

Rumor has it that Marc Jacobs might appear on the gay version of the show The Real Housewives of NY, called Kept. He previously stated that he would like to have his own realty show:  “all aspects of my life. All the drama, the intrigue, the sex, the romance, the work. I’m a shameless human being.”
