Fashionista.com is Officially on Marc Jacobs' Sh*t List

“Is Marc Jacobs No Longer Cool and Relevant?” That was the headline of Fashionista.com’s article about the critical NY Times article on Marc Jacobs. They also tweeted the headline with a link to their story which prompted a sarcastic response from Marc Jacobs’ twitter account. Here is the Twitter tread between @Fashionista_com, @MarcJacobsIntl, and @CherylAnneNY (the writer of the blog post):

I don’t blame Marc, or the PR person behind his Twitter account, for being a bit peeved about the post. What a way to point out a scathing article that Marc was hoping would just go away! Good job, Fashionista.com. The famed fashion blog bullet pointed all the critical points the NY Times article made about why Marc Jacobs is so last year. Although they start off saying that Marc’s shows are still one of the most anticipated shows of NY Fashion Week, towards the end of the article they seem to agree with the Times article. After receiving Marc’s tweet, Fashionista.com tries to backtrack and even attempts to kiss his ass by saying, “We love you.” Really?!?! The smart approach would have been to ask for an interview first before writing the article, instead of the other way around. I personally think Marc is not out the door just yet. He’s got many designing years ahead of him.
