"Looks like we&amp;#39;re not the only ones interested in what fashion-clueless straight guys think about fashion--Marc Jacobs is, too!\nPinterestFacebookPHOTO:                                                       Last night, Jacobs sat down with the deputy director of the Museum at F.I.T., Patricia Mears, to discuss everything from his underwear preference (briefs!) to his regularly-occurring creative blocks to just what makes a woman sexy in fashion today. The Cut was there, and they got the scoop on exactly what the designer finds sexy and why clothes simply aren&amp;#39;t a part of the equation. &amp;quot;&amp;quot;I don&amp;#39;t find clothes sexy at all,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;I find people sexy, and I find personalities fascinating and sexy and appealing and charming. So a sexy girl wrapped in a sheet is a sexy girl, and an un-sexy girl in a low-cut dress is still an un-sexy girl.&amp;quot;\nSign up for Glamour.com&amp;#39;s Style Tips of the Week and Beauty Tip of the Day newsletters!\nThat thinking influenced the highly-buzzed-about casting of his fall 2010 Louis Vuitton show, which featured beautifully curvy women not usually seen on the high-fashion runways. &amp;quot;I believe that these iconic, larger-than-life women are very Vuitton-like,&amp;quot; he said of his selection. &amp;quot;I was saying earlier that I believe that a Vuitton woman has luster and more of an edge to her, and this season we talked about it and we decided the criteria was, they have to be available on the day of the show and they have to be gorgeous. So we just kept throwing out names \u2026 I suggested Elle Macpherson and Laetitia Casta, and [my stylist Katie Grand] suggested Alessandra Ambrosio and Adriana Lima.&amp;quot;\nHe went on to explain how he knew he&amp;#39;d succeeded--when straight dudes with no interest in fashion told him the show was beautiful. &amp;quot;Even if you had no idea about fashion and had never looked at fashion, you would say, Wow, look how beautiful those women look.&amp;#39;I did receive e-mails from people&amp;#39;s brothers who were like&amp;quot; &amp;#8212; here he faked a deep, dopey voice &amp;#8212; &amp;quot;I don&amp;#39;t know anything about fashion, but that was a gorgeous show.&amp;#39; Which was really what we wanted to do.&amp;quot;\nAh yes, if you can get the frat boys of the world to see beauty in a Louis Vuitton show, there&amp;#39;s certainly no denying its sex appeal. What do you say, ladies? Do you agree with Marc that clothes themselves aren&amp;#39;t sexy, but it&amp;#39;s the women in them that really makes them sizzle? Did you love his model lineup for this show as much as we did? Who do you think has the most power to make a paper bag look gorgeous?
