De Cher a Lady Gaga, lo de Marc Jacobs con las celebridades es todo un idilio y así lo demuestra el adelanto de su próxima campaña otoño 2016. Marilyn Manson, Kendal Jenner, Missy Elliot, Courtney Love, Cara Delevingne, Annie Clark y Kembra Pfahler, entre otros, forman parte del elenco de inesperadas estrellas que ponen rostro a la nueva línea de la firma estadounidense.

"En una continua serie de retratos para nuestra campaña de otoño de 2016, los individuos en estas fotografías representan una realización colectiva de amor, honestidad, integridad, coraje, fuerza, curiosidad e inspiración", ha escrito Jacobs en Instagram para introducir la línea.

Jacobs ha relatado que conoció a Marilyn Manson en Halloween en Los Ángeles, en 1996. "Empecé a escuchar su música porque estaba intrigado por esta persona y sentía curiosidad por su perverso e increíble intelecto", ha explicado el diseñador.

CARA, Womanchild Every once in a blue moon I am fortunate enough to meet a model with a personality so huge it almost overshadows even the strongest of looks– the most dramatic fashion. When I met Cara through Katie Grand a few years ago, she was the girl in the animal onesie with boundless energy, great humor and in perpetual motion. Watching Cara’s growth and evolution into a dynamic, outspoken, independent woman is a true joy, just as she is herself. Her generosity and care in wanting to get a job done right (even if it means missing a flight!) is a testament to her professionalism and true character.

Uno a uno, Jacobs ha ido explicando en su cuenta de Instagram cómo conoció a cada personaje y lo que representan para él. Por ejemplo, de la modelo Cara Delevingne, Jacobs ha afirmado que viendo su evolución "más dinámica, abierta y como una mujer independiente, se ha convertido en una auténtica joya", y continúa: "Su generosidad y preocupación por hacer bien su trabajo es un testimonio de su profesionalidad y su auténtico carácter".

A Courtney Love, la viuda de Kurt Cobain, le unen más de dos décadas de amistad. "Siempre ha tenido un encanto genuino que hace que siga admirándola. La manera en la que grita sus letras como una herida en su boca roja, son lamentos profundos. Ella era, y sigue siendo para mí, el último desastre divino metido en un vestido", ha dicho Jacobs.

La elección de estos personajes responde a un mensaje de apoyo a la diversidad que el diseñador trata de enviar desde hace tiempo. Los modelos de la campaña otoño 2016 de Marc Jacobs aparecen representados como personajes de la noche, casi irreconocibles, seres de otro mundo. Es un desafío a lo convencional.

MANSON, Brains and Beauty Ironically, I met Marilyn Manson on Halloween in Los Angeles shortly after the release of his album, Antichrist Superstar in 1996. It was after meeting him that I started listening to his music- in large part because I was intrigued by his persona and curious about his perverse and incredible intellect. The Beautiful People and its accompanying music video with all its gorgeous grotesqueries is what sweet dreams are NOT made of… The incredibly powerful and frenetic pace of the video with the attenuated and elongated Manson pulled, disfigured and contorted by means of surgical devices, dental apparatuses and other contraptions is absolutely nightmare inducing and an outrageously captivating attraction of repulsion. For our Fall 2011 fashion show, there was no better song to send the girls marching down our boudoir comme insane-asylum runway than, The Beautiful People. It was the perfectly twisted companion for that collection which played at a volume that nearly shook the walls down. In direct contrast to the outward hideous beauty of Manson’s stage persona is his instinctive, inherent intelligence and understanding of what matters. These days more so than ever I am reminded of Manson’s interview in the documentary film, Bowling for Columbine and his response to a question asking what he would say to the kids and Columbine community in the wake of the tragedy that took place in 1999. His response was, “I wouldn’t say a single word to them. I would listen to what they have to say, and that’s what no one did.” Sometimes knowing when to listen is more important than being heard, and in one sentence Manson left a stronger impression on me than his music ever had previously.
