Freaky or Fabulous? Marc Jacob's SpongeBob Tattoo

There has been talk - not here - but around, that Marc Jacobs has been a bit overexposed as of late. We have witnessed the New Yorker evolve, as well as his clothes, and evolution is a good thing. However, his very public visit to rehab (again) last year and his new found beefcake physique is a side of MJ we've seen a lot of recently. He just did a shoot with French actress Elodie Bouchez for T:Style where the two wear his Spring collection and just kinda hang out and look fabulous. But I couldn't stop staring at his SpongeBob tattoo. And is that an M&M tattoo too? We know he has a serious crush on the spongy yellow cartoon but this strikes me as a bit, odd. I expect designers to be odd, though, so I'm saying it's fabulous. You?

Paris Fashion Week, Spring 2008: Louis Vuitton

Just in time for Halloween, Marc Jacobs has a naughty nurse costume for you. And that's just the beginning of a slightly mad, slightly amazing, Spring Louis Vuitton collection.

Inspired by both the artist Richard Prince, see the nurses and the accessories, and SpongeBob SquarePants, see the colors, it's no wonder Jacobs churned out another crazed collection. For those of you who remember his New York hodgepodge of clothes, for Louis Vuitton he had a similar scatterbrained vibe. There was some sheer energy - all the way up to the top of models' heads with sheer headpieces. And while some looks appeared to be deconstructed prom dresses of yore, his other plays with fabrics - Lurex knits, tweed, sequins - were a delight. There was a mess of accessories, from statement jewelry to questionable handbags and gloves.

If you ask me, some of this mess is wearable and scream funky editorial fare, as for the rest, not so much.
