Throughout the fashion weeks Marc Jacobs confused me with his unusual clothing choices. Firstly he wore a skirt during New York Fashion Week and then he wore heels to take a bow at Louis Vuitton.
Today, he spoke to The Cut about his reasons explaining, "I always get nuts when women go, 'Oh, men don't know what it's like - women in heels, women in skirts, women in dresses - what it's like to suffer for fashion.' Although I've always wanted to be taller, which is the real reason I wore them, I also thought I can show that I, too, will suffer for fashion."
Jacobs went on to explain that he didn't actually feel like he was suffering after all. "It wasn't really suffering. It was a pleasure to be able to achieve a look that I wanted to look like."
In fact, he seemed to enjoy the experience so much that I wouldn't be surprised if we saw more of it. "I like wearing skirts and high heels and stuff like that. I don't see it in a way that it's like women suffering. I see it in a way it's like women get to have all the fun." Oh, and in case you were wondering he opted for a pair of Rick Owens heels.

Now that's what you call putting yourself in someone else's shoes! Gotta love MJ for putting himself out there.
1i think guys in heels
2is just a bit too odd for my test
i know designers are always pushing
boundaries, but i think skirts and heels
should be solely for women.
I think it's cute and funny. Hell yes for gay men (particularly Marc Jacobs or other designers) suffering for women in heels by doing it themselves.
3those are so chunky! try walking on a marble floor in stilettos, Marc, then we'll appreciate the empathy! xoxo
4love Marc, even if he is a little eccentric...
5He wore a kilt and chunky heels, that's hardly the same! I agree with jocelyn, maybe he should try wearing stilettos, body con dresses and mini skirts then maybe he'll suffer a little.
6When I worked at this store, we got a pair of Dior boots, size 45 for a basketball players wife. I put them on and walked around for 10 minutes (carpet floors.) I thought if only guys could wear heels, I would never wear flats. lol Then I realized that was a scary thought and took them off. Immediately
