Monday's Marc: Thoughts on Blogs, New York, Paris and Marriage
The New York Times hosted a series of fashion-focused talks yesterday as part of their ongoing series of TimesTalks; the day began with Tyra Banks, included musings from Michelle Obama’s designers of choice (Thakoon, Maria Cornejo, and Narciso Rodriguez) midday, and rounded out with an evening spent with none other than Marc Jacobs. The latter, who is in town for Vogue’s annual Costume Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, took the opportunity to sound off on a range of topics: wedding plans, Parisians, the definition of success, and, of course, fashion. I jotted down a few of the highlights straight from the horse’s mouth.
On fashion bloggers like BryanBoy: “I love fashion ... I don’t want to say ‘victims,’ but ‘enthusiasts.’ I love people who really love fashion because that’s all I am.”
On high fashion vs. low: “The same woman could want a designer dress and a pair of $20 rain boots.” A German princess could be “wearing Lacroix in a place where toilets were overflowing with urine.” And that’s OK by Jacobs.
On Paris vs. New York: “If you have five minutes free in New York, you’re a failure—if you have five minutes free in Paris, you’re a success.” In Paris, Jacobs enjoys the slower pace and less pressure to be busy all the time; whereas in NYC, everything is much more “rapid-fire, edit, cut to dinner.”
On Parisians: “There’s nobody who hates Parisians more than Parisians.”
On marriage: “I don’t want to get all political, but I don’t ever want to be told who to love or how to love.”

Blackbook Magazine Needs Fall '08 Interns (NYC)
The BlackBook Guide department of BlackBook magazine needs 2-4 interns for their editorial department for the fall '08 season and immediately. What began as a tiny insert for BlackBook Magazine since 1996, it's now the IT guide for New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and other glamorous cities that ooze hot spots galore. How hard is it to get in the BlackBook Guide? Let's just say the words "Kathy Griffin" would never exist in the same sentence. The BlackBook Guide is highly selective and if you ever want a good read (accompanied w/the right cocktail(s)) it provides witty and honest reviews of venues.
What the intern needs to be:
- Must like publishing
- Must be social (hermits and wallflowers need not apply)
- Must have a creative eye
- Must be available at least 3 days a week from 10am-6pm
- Must need for school credit
- Must be internet and Microsoft/Excel savvy
Unpaid internship, but imagine having the "in" on all the nightlife action. Priceless.
If you can check yourself off on all of those, please email resume (w/cover, but you know that) to Brian Kantor at bkantor@bbook.com.
