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 ├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥ women in heels, women in skirts, women in dresses ├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥ 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!
