Marc Jacobs Is OK With Knock-Offs!

Marc Jacobs may design for Louis Vuitton, but that doesn’t mean he has the same views as the legal department when it comes to knock-offs.
In fact it’s the complete opposite!
In an interview with Teen Vogue the designer had this to say about seeing strangers wearing his designs:

To me, it’s the greatest compliment. Even when I see a copy, something that’s inspired by something I’ve done, it’s a rewarding feeling. Because that’s why I do what I do. It was never my desire to revolutionize fashion, to make clothes that could be in a museum. I want to create clothes that have a certain style, but I want to see them used. I want to see people enjoy the things I’ve made.

Maybe the suits do see it as a compliment. A compliment with a nice price tag attached to it!
