You Don’t Fuck With the Jacobs

Share

Anyone who has walked by the Mercer will tell you, you can feel the power of Marc Jacobs radiating from the overpriced hotel…yes, it’s true!

Now comes this hilarious story via the New York Post. Marc Jacobs was recently ejected from the 303 Gallery in Chelsea for looking “scruffy and homeless.” Jacobs who in recent years has become a MAJOR contemporary art collector, failed to be reconized by a low level employee. I suppose his Sponge-Bob Square Pants tattoo was oft-putting to them, understandable it is an awful tattoo. Although Jacobs left without putting up a fight, owner Lisa Spellman fired the employee as soon as she heard about the faux pas.

I don’t think it was the scruff that was the problem. Maybe Jacobs should start wearing only bespoke suits from now on-like Tom Ford. This is something that would never happen to fellow art collector Ford!
