Marc Jacobs turns into Andy Warhol

Author: admin  //  Category: Designers

It is so cool to see something different in the magazines these days, especially with the Gwyneths and Scarletts dominating every cover.

With a white mop of hair, crisp button-down shirt and tie, fake eyelashes aside, Marc Jacobs is transformed into fabled pop art Andy Warhol in Interview magazine’s June-July double issue.

“I don’t think of myself that way,” he said. “Warhol is Warhol. He’s practically a god. I thought, ‘I’m going to get a lot of hell for this.’”

“Even though my scalp and eyelids were completely sore, it was all worth it,” Jacobs said. “It was just a ball.”

T-shirts and tote bags imprinted with his cover shot, as well as magazines, will be splashed in the window display of his Bleecker Street store tomorrow. Proceeds from the $35 T-shirts and $15 tote bags will benefit the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh. WWd reports.
