Mr & Mrs Jacobs

They nicely achieved the sexy-but-not slutty look — The Cut

Hi, the Austrian fashion blogs Tschilp and Blica challenged each other to comment on Marc Jacobs provocative cover picture, found on the current issue of the Industrie Magazine.

Actually, I find it pretty much rare that a man is displayed on the cover of a fashion magazine, and even less in a "feminine" outfit. In some Austrian newspaper shops they even place fashion magazines under the category Women's magazines, which I find quite funny, because fashion can be quite intriguing for men too and they even offer some insights for understanding women better ;)

I find the new Mrs Jacobs cover picture a very welcome change to the otherwise so uniform fashion magazine landscape, and of course I admire Marc Jacobs both as a fashion designer and for his latest photographic work, which I can also take as an inspiration for myself ;)

Photos as these are not only aesthetically pleasing but as I interpret Anne from Blica are also useful for challenging and reflecting our own clichés. I would be happy if I could achieve that with my pictures someday as well.
