Marc Jacobs is a fashion icon, entrepreneur and flat out celebrity. Definitely a household name, Marc Jacobs has decided to expand even further by opening a cafe in NYC's Manhattan.
The cafe would be the second of its kind, with the first Marc Jacobs Cafe located in Milan. The original cafe opened during Milan's Design Week, thus speculation has risen as to whether or not the MJ Cafe will be opening during next season's NY Fashion Week in February 2011.
