Fashion designer Mark Jacobs loves to push the proverbial envelope. The designer’s latest shenanigans include coming out on the cover and editorial of Industrie Magazine dressed in thigh high stockings, high heels, a beautiful winter coat, a long brunette wig, makeup, a huge hat and a full beard.
In the editorial, "Mrs Jacobs" (as Mark Jacobs is referred to in the magazine) continues getting in touch with his feminine side by wearing various gender-bending assemblages such as ladies dresses, high heels, pants, jewelry and accessories.
The cover and editorial were photographed by Patrick Demarchelier. What a great honor to shoot Marc Jacobs in drag!
