» Not Over It…
Marc Jacobs apparently still longs for his ex-love, Jason Preston, which must make things hard for the designer's current beau, Lorenzo Martone. [NY Post] |

Marc Jacobs has been spotted wearing another designer's skirts. He said to New York Magazine, "I discovered how nice it felt to wear. They’re comfortable, and wearing it made me happy, so I bought more. And now I just can’t stop wearing them." He also says he has no plans to release them as part of an upcoming menswear collection. Bullshit. If Jacobs does release them, promise us you won't throw down cash to buy into his mockery. |

» Marriage?
"Fashion designer Marc Jacobs will wed his Brazilian boyfriend Lorenzo Martone in Paris, France this weekend, according to reports. Jacobs has been dating the advertising executive since the beginning of the year, and went public with the romance at the Costume Institute Gala in New York in May. Sources tell Fashionista.com the pair will sign a Civil Solidarity Pact - the French equivalent of a gay marriage - which will legally unite them." [PR Inside] |
» Revival?
Designer Marc Jacobs recently released a new take on the rainbow flag: "rebel pride." This startling development has everyone in the entire world wondering if the multi-hued symbol will come back in style. No one question has captivated so many people since "Who Shot JR?" (It was jilted lover - and sister-in-law - Kristin, by the way.) [The Shophound] |
» Fact Facing.
Marc Jacobs is the only gay designer famous and self-indulgent enough to have a Facebook profile. Michael Bastian, John Bartlett and Thom Browne all deny having one, with the latter remarking, "I have no interest in people knowing my personal life." Yes, but what about our wants?! [Observer] |

And, from what the gossip-mongers are saying, the men are just as catty as ever: Jacobs is back in the arms of his ex, Jason Preston. They were at Pastis Saturday, looking "very much together, laughing and kissing," said our spy. They were overheard saying they'd missed one another during their separation and dissed Marc's ex, Austin A., saying he "is a drunk loser with a hideous body." Jacobs, of course, takes pride in his reformed looks. The designer's currently channeling Andy Warhol in the latest edition of Interview, which will now focus less on movie stars and more on fashion. Just what the world needs… |

A simple visual comparison of Martone to the designer's former loves already points to a new direction - and Gawker penman has Richard Lawson worrying about his editorial future! |

"He spends most of his time partying until morning in Paris," a friend said. "It's out of control. There's always a different boy and everyone is worried he's going to pull a Halston" - referring to the legendary designer whose work suffered due to drinking and drugs. Halston died of AIDS in 1990… But his personal troubles don't seem to be affecting him professionally. Word is his champion, Anna Wintour, will honor him at next year's Costume Institute Gala (this year's honoree was Giorgio Armani). Well, if Wintour's not worried, we won't be, either. And, besides, there are always rumors floating around - and Jacobs doesn't like them. |

Well, actually Preston sent them to Jacobs to pass along to Austin. "It's true," Jason admits. Austin, for his part, says he only knows Preston from the press and insists he would not normally hang out with someone like Preston, ie: a hooker. |
