Marc’s Politics,Barack Obama's re-election campaign


MARC JACOBS says that fashion and politics don't always mix. However, the designer is known for his open support of several political causes, including Barack Obama's re-election campaign, gay men's marriage rights and his promotion of the Tibetan Freedom Coalition, creating a capsule T-shirt urging the country to be freed from Chinese occupation. The latter caused a furore on China's version of Twitter, Weibo, with Chinese users threatening to boycott the label.

"I guess with politics and fashion, you've always got to be a bit careful because somebody's going to get offended or somebody's going to feel it isn't right," Jacobs told WWD. "I don't want to sound stupid or ignorant or anything, but I spend my time in the studio choosing fabric and colours and trying to figure out what we're going to make. If you want to avoid controversy, you just don't do [political] things like that."
Jacobs hosted Louis Vuitton's debut Shanghai show last night, complete with the label's famed Express train, in celebration of its newly-renovated Shanghai Maison.
