Finally, GQ Profiles The Evasive, Mysterious, Fascinating, And Infinitely Complex Designer Marc Jacobs

CS-marcjacobsGQ.jpg In case you haven't heard of him, or what he's had for lunch today, or how he feels about looking in the mirror, the perennial bastion of refined masculinity and intrepid reporting that is GQ offers up a probing profile on the gym-crazed midlife designer, so, you know, you can catch yourself up to SPEED! Oh, sorry was that caps lock? No pun intended! The master of reinvention and bicep curls offers up some profound thoughts on topics ranging from how he thinks families are overrated, how much he loves his personal trainer, and why he's willing to do whatever it takes to look younger. Sez Jacobs:



  • "I never believed that idea that you’re supposed to love the members of your family. I hate the idea of obliged feelings—I just think that’s a huge waste of time."
  • "I’m such a catastrophic thinker that when anything happens, I figure I better just live life to the fullest—buy a diamond necklace, get another tattoo, work out with [personal trainer] Easy."
  • "I look at Tom [Ford] and he looks great. Whatever he’s doing works for him. And I don’t know if he does anything, but I’m not opposed. Whatever makes me feel good, I want more of. If work is going well, I want to do more clothes. If the gym thing is working for me, I want to be bigger. If getting my hair cut makes me look younger, I want to play with the color. So I could see myself slipping down that road so quickly." [--on plastic surgery.]
  • "I’d walk in a room and all I’d think about is, How many people in this room hate me right now? They think I’m ugly, or whatever. It was the idea of not living in the moment, of thinking you can control results by your actions, of not feeling good-looking enough, not tall enough, not clever enough—I guess that’s how I’ve felt pretty much most of my life."
  • It’s like saying, ‘I want to look hot.’ That is such a dumb thing to say, but what’s so cool about it is that you can say it. Yeah, I want a bunch of muscle queens at David Barton Gym to think that my body looks dope. And I might think that was an awkward and dumb thing to say, but I still like that I’ll throw it out there. Because it’s true, you know?"
He then lunches on grilled salmon and supplements, and, feeling neglected by the total strangers lunching around him and disappointed that he doesn't see anyone he knows, begins to harass women that he sees wearing his clothes in an attempt to solicit praise.  While his insecurities don't offer much news on the MJ front for those who've been following his assorted dramarama, Gawker unearthed the MySpace profile of his new (last known) boyfriend Austin A., which includes not only a series of "modeling" shots in his image gallery, but also a blog about his fragile man. "If people say that Marc’s (others) are just with him for who he is," Austin writes, "than [sic] he would always be alone. Marc Jacobs is an amazing man & deserves someone by his side." Like a shrink.
