I remember (at that young precocious age) hearing about her performances in the basement of the Ansonia Hotel’s, Continental Baths. I vividly remember the genuine excitement and love I had for Bette’s music. I was curious and excited by her energy, power and the exuberance in her voice and bold, brassy glamour.”

Beth Ditto

It was a very personal campaign littered with inspirational figures. It’s unsurprising that the designer took to social media to mark the occasion and express his appreciation for the latest lineup.
An artful master of casting, the videos round off what has been one of the most diverse fashion campaigns, inclusive of all ages, races and gender markers.
Sandra Bernhard
Marc Jacobs first saw Sandra Bernhard in the 1982 film, “The King of Comedy,” and was in absolute awe of her cynicism, sarcastic wit and unfiltered in-your-faceness. Her sense of humor, comedic timing and brilliant irreverence has always been so admiringly bold.
Sandra’s comedic consciousness, integrity and genuineness is harsh, hard and authentic.
This fashion film, part of the Marc Jacobs campaign perfectly captures her acerbic vocal styling, pure intensity and punchy rhythm.
