# Fashion Designers As Art Icons Marc Jacobs as Andy Warhol for Interview Magazine By mediterranean | Published 2008-05-18 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jacobs-warhol-interview References: [myitthings](http://myitthings.com/brokenheart/Post/fashion/It_Look/Marc_Jacobs_does_Interview_magazine/885172008134723792.htm) Continuing the trend of fashion designers posing as models, **Marc Jacobs** channels his inner **Andy Warhol** in a very interesting and unique shoot featured on the cover and inside the pages of the upcoming June/July 2008 issue of [Interview Magazine](http://www.interviewmagazine.com). The special feature is a celebration of Andy Warhol's 80th birthday anniversary and shows Marc with heavy make-up, big *tranny* eyelashes, high heels and [funky comic-cartoon hair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kenny-scharf-and-axel). I almost wish Victoria Beckham would show up in one of the photos in a Marc Jacobs bag! Andy Warhol would be proud of the quirky art direction. After losing weight, Marc Jacobs has broken from his shell and has been featured in numerous magazines and fashion shoots, mostly without much clothes. Check out a photo shoot of fellow fashion designer Tom Ford, sans clothes as well, in the recent issue of Prestige, Hong Kong magazine. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 88% | Activity: 71% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Fashion Designers as Models:** Opportunity for fashion designers to promote their brand by modeling for their own campaigns, creating a unique and personal connection with consumers. - **Celebrity Collaboration:** Collaborations between fashion designers and iconic figures from other industries, such as art and music, to create innovative and attention-grabbing campaigns. - **Breaking Gender Stereotypes:** Fashion designers challenging traditional gender norms by experimenting with unconventional and androgynous styles in their marketing and brand identity. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** Fashion industry brands can embrace the trend of using fashion designers as models and collaborate with other industries to create disruptive marketing campaigns. - **Art:** The art industry can explore partnerships with fashion designers to bring their unique artistic vision to life through fashion collections and collaborative projects. - **Media and Advertising:** Media and advertising companies can capitalize on the breaking gender stereotypes trend by creating bold and inclusive campaigns that challenge societal norms and appeal to a diverse audience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Stylish Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stylish-fashion-campaigns-marc-jacobs-unveils-its-spring-2025-marcworld-cam.md) - [Bold Graffiti Printed Totes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stephen-sprouse.md) - [Collaborative Designer Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/just-like-heaven-art-exhibition.md) - [Collaborative Patterned Tote Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-tote-bag.md) - [Revitalized Handbag Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marc-jacobs-stephen-sprouse.md) - [Personalized Pet-Inspired Handbags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bark-jacobs.md) - [Body Artwork-Inspired Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/body-tattoo.md) - [Fashion-Forward Guitar Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gibson-and-marc-jacobs.md) - [Pop Art Creative Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kaws-warhol-ut.md)
