Marc Jacobs has had more than his fair share of headlines lately. Thanks to the press’s due diligence, we’ve learned that he eats health food and has a personal trainer; that he’s dyed his hair blue (it’s back to brown), got tattoos and bought four diamond studs; that he collects art; and — somebody call the vice squad! — that he’s rumored to have landed a date or two online.
But what everyone seems to neglect is his work at Louis Vuitton and for his own label, which is consistently ahead of the curve. This season, he explored a new kind of sexiness with purposely disheveled, lingerie-inspired looks — the kind of balance between innovation and sophistication that a cool French actress like Élodie Bouchez (four months pregnant at the time of this shoot, and with no patience for maternity duds) can appreciate. Bouchez, whose latest project is ‘‘Après Lui,’’ with Catherine Deneuve, spent time in America guest-starring on ‘‘Alias,’’ but she met Jacobs in Paris. ‘‘We appreciate the work each of us does,’’ she says. ‘‘His clothes are different but at the same time respectful of women.’’
HOLLY + MJ = FOREVER
