"If a designer is going to tell me to wear feathers on my head, spikes on my feet, and a frighteningly sheer dress over my derriere, he better damn well be willing to take a few risks of his own, and not just stand back in a black suit talking about how he engenders fashion evolution without having to participate in it. And that, my friends, is why I love Marc Jacobs. The complete chameleon (in both his collections and his personal life) took his bow at Louis Vuitton the other night wearing...man heels! New York Magazine&amp;#x27;s The Cut reported that the designer, who has a gift for self-promotion that could make Madonna look modest, was simply following in the footsteps (har har, excuse me) of French prez Nicolas Sarkozy with his stacked heel boots. Thank you, Mr. Jacobs, for going there. The skirt you wore in New York? That was a risk. The heels in Paris, maybe an even bigger one. But if you show up in Berlin next week in opera gloves and a mink stole, I promise to love, honor, and obey you as long as we both shall live! What do you guys think? Silly publicity ploy or true fashion gamble? Would you rather take fashion directives from a designer who is as willing to take risks as he is to prescribe them?
