Marc Jacobs on Guest Editing the December Issue of Vogue


(Actually, my first thought was to have Anna Wintour on the cover, but she flat-out refused. “Move on,” she insisted.)

Next, a possible theme for the issue? Story ideas? I wanted Dance! Fashion! Beauty! Unbridled, youthful energy (rave), community (voguing), movement (modern), passion (tango), and discipline (ballet). Inez & Vinoodh would be perfect!

Impossible beauty; the inexplicable, irresistible, far-less-than-practical joy of exaggerated and artful nails, lashes, heels; and the truly natural, exquisite beauty of flowers.

Last, in the most magical twist of fate, Gregory Crewdson (and a film crew of 40 people) photographed me at my home. His image, one for the ages, captured me in the perfect moment of vulnerability and overwhelming gratitude.

Oh, and Carl, the Brussels griffon wearing a Chanel Haute Joaillerie bracelet-cum-choker for the Last Look.

Thank you, Vogue, for this unforgettable opportunity, and now it’s time for you to please get to work on my next collection.

Love, Marc.
