Quirky fashion designer Mark Jacobs loves the limelight. You may recall the article Trendhunter wrote recently about Jacobs being featured on the front cover of Interview Magazine.
On that cover, Marc posed in a burlesque sort of representation of Andy Warhol with heavy make-up and Warhol's trademark hair style. In that interview, the magazine referred to Jacobs as the Warhol of our times.
Now Jacobs, under the Marc By Marc Jacobs, has released limited edition “Interview Magazine†tote bags and t-shirts with 100% of the proceeds earmarked to go to the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh.
Here is the article I referred to above.
