That is the rumor going around. I first heard about Marc Jacobs leaving Louis Vuitton for Dior about a month ago and brushed it off. Now WWD is reporting on the rumor. If they are reporting on it, then the rumor must be true, or at least have some thread of truthiness. Jacobs is supposed [...]

Givenchy ‘Lace’ Bootie Lace Strapped Leotard by RARE I been really digging lace a lot lately, but I was always too intimidated to wear it out of fear of looking trashy or slutty.
