Marc Jacobs Rumored to Be Dating a Brazilian Porn Star

fashionologie — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 08:53:55 PST

>> Marc Jacobs recently told Vogue that he and former fiancé Lorenzo Martone - who broke up in the Summer of 2010 - are still close. "Yeah, we are best friends," says Jacobs. "We speak to each other, I don't know, six times a day." Now, a Brazilian gossip site is reporting that Jacobs may have moved on to a new Brazilian boyfriend - porn star Harry Louis. When Louis - who lives in London (where he allegedly met Jacobs) - was asked about the rumored relationship, he replied: "I have nothing to say about it." In the photo above, the two were snapped together in Paris. [GPS Brasilia]

Marc Jacobs and Lorenzo Martone - On Again?

>> Marc Jacobs and Lorenzo Martone confirmed that they were no longer together - and had split two months before - in July, and for a while, the two weren't spotted together at all. It seems like they've remained on good terms, however: During New York Fashion Week in mid-September, they were snapped at V magazine's party at The Standard, smiling, with arms over each other's shoulders (below, left), and then over Halloween weekend, they were captured by Terry Richardson - again at The Standard - getting even closer (below, right). Jacobs wore a pantless look with heels, horns, and a wig to the party. [Terry's Diary]

Marc Jacobs Looks to Yves Saint Laurent and the '70s - Things That Made Him Fall in Love with Fashion - for Spring 2011

>> Half an hour before Marc Jacobs's show was scheduled to start at 8 pm this evening, his team Tweeted, "Marcs ready now. Were waiting for editors." And Cathy Horyn reports that they had hoped to start at 7:45 pm. But it turns out that once again, Marc's show started right on the dot, with six models walking at once, each coming from different exits in the gold circular centerpiece, as Vivaldi's "Summer" from The Four Seasons played over the loudspeaker.

The show was pure '70s, recalling Bianca Jagger and Jodie Foster from Taxi Driver - all wide-legged trousers, frizzy hair, with oversized flower corsages and gold glitter platforms. A jolt of color, Jacobs (who took his bow in pants and Cuban heeled shoes in place of a skirt) said backstage, after last season's beige. He also cited the New York Dolls, Antonio Lopez, Yves Saint Laurent, and Calvin Klein as references, explaining that he wanted to celebrate everything that made him fall in love with fashion. Jamie Bochert, who owes her career to Marc, made her first appearance of the week, and Jourdan Dunn and Alessandra Ambrosio walked, too. Redheaded newbie Luisa Bianchin opened.

It appears that Jacobs's recent celebrity ban was lifted: Alexa Chung and Nacho Figueras were there, and Courtney Love was late and caught the tail end of the show, which ended at 8:11 pm. Jacobs's ex-fiance, Lorenzo Martone, gave him a hug and kiss backstage afterward. And rumor has it that the show's set will do double duty as the Marc Jacobs Spring 2011 campaign backdrop, to be shot in tandem with the show.

>> Marc Jacobs No Longer Getting Married - Rumors that Marc Jacobs and Lorenzo Martone had split first surfaced in April, and while the two were photographed together at the end of May (during Louis Vuitton's Bond Street flagship launch in London) and then a week or so later at the CFDA Awards, they haven't been snapped together in public since (something that used to be commonplace for the couple). Then, last night, at his London launch for his first men's fragrance, Bang, Marc's response to the matter of their engagement? "No I am not getting married." [Vogue UK]

UPDATE: Lorenzo Martone confirmed via Twitter that he and Marc split two months ago: "thanks for t notes. yes, I saw t press today. We are not together, haven't been in 2 months. And we will not comment on it. Sorry. We r fine." [@lorenzomartone]

Marc Jacobs Tore His Shoulder and Needs Surgery, Can't Work Out

fashionologie — Mon, 24 May 2010 11:48:32 PDT

>> For a recent chat with the Financial Times's Vanessa Friedman, Marc Jacobs wore a white button-down shirt with jeans instead of his usual kilt; is his addiction to the skort waning, perhaps courtesy of his fiance Lorenzo Martone's dislike of the look? “I just didn’t feel like wearing it,” Jacobs explained.

As for his compulsive gym habit, Jacobs says he hasn’t “been able to work out at all,” due to a torn rotator cuff on his shoulder; he's having surgery in a few weeks. His predilection for purchasing art, too, has been curbed: “Actually, I haven’t bought anything for a long time. The other day I bought a little 1962 Ellsworth Kelly at the Christie’s auction, but that’s it. It was a funny thing for me to buy, too. It’s just a white square with a yellow curve. Usually I like more figurative work – this is the sort of thing I’d look at and admire but not want to buy. But I just like it . . . it makes me happy.”

>> Marc Jacobs Serves Jury Duty in a Kilt, Despite Lorenzo Martone's Dislike of the Look -Marc Jacobs and Lorenzo Martone are still together, despite recent rumors otherwise, and although Marc has recently been photographed wearing pants more than skirts - Lorenzo told Butt a couple of months ago of Marc's skirts: "He knows I don't love it. I mean I loved it for a couple of months. I thought, 'Okay, it was a cute joke. Get over it.' But he is in love with them. What can I say? He feels he has found his look and clearly he enjoys the attention that he gets." - Marc is back to wearing the skirts. A Gawker tipster reports that the designer wore a red plaid kilt to jury duty on Monday and Tuesday. [Gawker]
