Marc Jacobs<\/a> was super late and said \u201cSorry\u201d<\/strong>
\nAnother fashion week is behind us but not without its own round of controversies. The most recent talk of the town was the normally punctual Marc Jacobs<\/a> ran over 90 minutes late for his Spring\/Summer 2019 fashion show. PR was nervous, European editors sweated as they feared to miss their transatlantic flights, and Vogue editrix Anna Wintour expressed her annoyance by pacing around. For many, it was a flashback to the old Marc, whose shows notoriously started an hour or more late, but after many whispers, a maximalist\u2019s pastel dream finally went down the catwalk. The designer took to Instagram to apologize for the tardiness and chalked it up to sometimes things don\u2019t go the way you plan. We forgive you, Marc! <\/p>\n

I sincerely apologize to anyone and everyone who was inconvenienced by my lateness at our Spring\/Summer 2019 fashion show. For anyone interested, below is not a list of excuses but rather a list of facts. I fully understand people have plans, lives, commitments, flights, families to return to, etc and that I fully RESPECT. I\u2019ve heard, read and reflected on your frustration, anger and outrage. If you choose to read the below, I hope that you can find your own place of understanding. 1. The night before the show at midnight, I believed that we would absolutely be starting at 6pm, as planned and it was my intention to do so. 2. At 3:30pm on the day of the show, I became aware that we would most likely be an hour late. In good faith and hope it was communicated that the show would start at 630pm and that was a mistake. 3. After years of being beyond punctual and once again, with every intention of remaining so, the fact is, more is always expected from us with fewer and fewer resources. That is not unique to me personally or us as a company. I have learned that I need to adjust to our realities. 4. It was my wishful thinking that we could accomplish all that needed to be done for this show with the circumstances we faced. I was wrong. Not because everyone didn\u2019t make every effort or give it their all and more, life is just that way sometimes. I\u2019ve always been told that, \u201cif you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans.\u201d With our shows, I always strive to present 7-10 minutes of live fashion theatre that hopefully makes some kind of statement or touch the audience in some way both aesthetically and emotionally. I think we all have to be a little more sensitive and flexible to the fragile state of the live experience. I hope anyone reading this will reflect on my thoughts as I have on yours. \u2028Sincerely and respectfully, Marc<\/a><\/p>\n
