Marc Jacobs Feels Your Pain, Ladies
Filed under: Fashion Smashion > Marc Jacobs
Superstar designer Marc Jacobs and his hot Brazilian boyfriend, Lorenzo Martone, were lucky enough to attend Madonna's Filth and Wisdom screening in the NYC on Tuesday.
While there, MJ chatted with the folks at NY Magazine about his empathy for women in heels. Why? Well, he's been wearing skirts and heels a lot lately!
He wore them in Paris for Fashion Week earlier this month!
Here's what Jacobs has to say:
"I always get nuts when women go, 'Oh, men don't know what it's like — women in heels, women in skirts, women in dresses — what it's like to suffer for fashion.'" He continued, "Although I've always wanted to be taller, which is the real reason I wore them, I also thought I can show that I, too, will suffer for fashion." How did he fare? "It wasn't really suffering at all. It was a pleasure to be able to achieve a look that I wanted to look like." Jacobs added he has no problem walking in heels and his feet hurt at the end of a long day even if he's wearing sneakers. "I like wearing skirts and high heels and stuff like that. I don't see it in a way that it's like women suffering. I see it in a way it's like women get to have all the fun."
Hmm. He's giving us some ideas!
Maybe we'll have to sport some platform heels to our next event.
We'd love some cha cha heels!
Put a chimney on ya!

those calves are pretty serious
ya wanna talk pain?
i broke my 2nd metatarsil
wearing high heels…..
whatever… maybe he should try walking around NYC. working every day in heels — OR not being able to sit doen when you're out for the night at a club. that is, instead of being driven around by personal drivers and always having somewhere to sit (off of his feet). BLAH
I love these guys and the boots.
Ok this is so NOT right! lol and this is who's bags sell for huge ridiculous amounts of money…his comment sounds like he's a nut job WTF!
i never knew he was so good looking!
Re: sillytart –
agree!!!
THAT'S SO GAY!
Please don't Perez. Heels are for girls!
yeah sure, heels are fun. that's why i wore them once and will never wear them again. but who knows… marc jacobs gets away with everything. But i prefer those Docs he's wearing to the skirt on the pic to any heels he could ever get his hands on.
Over my dead body, dude!
heels do not look right on dudes esp perez!
heels would not look pretty on guys big ass smelly feet hahaha
Does this boyfriend have a job or is he another hooker?
Re: Spindoc – LOL!
Yeooow. That Lorenzo is smokin'!
psh high heels are frikin painful. im definitely not a high heel girl…prolly neevr will be either
You should ask for cha cha heels for christmas, but beware people have been known to go on destructive rampages when they don't get them….
Re: sillytart – You really are a silly tart if you walk around the city all day in heels, you obv. don't wear sneakers to work THEN change into heels once you get there like most other normal commuters.
MJ comes off as such a loser and his friend looks like a stuff sausage in that outfit. Love the matching beards.lol
Of all the Brazilians that Jacobs could get (and there are alot of hot Brazilians), that is the best one he could get? He is not ugly, but he is not cute. But JACOBS LOOKS HOT RIGHT THERE–THOSE LEGS AND THAT CHEST COMING OUT OF HIS SHIRT—HE IS A HOTTIE AND HAS MONEY—I'LL TAKE THAT…WRAP HIM UP FOR ME AND PUT HIM UNDER MY CHRISTMAS TREE PLEASE!!
That is not a skirt he is wearing it is a kilt - big difference!! And completely the sexiest thing any man can wear!!
i luv marc jacobs he is a genius of fashion
