Would You Buy Into This?

Something is not quite right with the new Marc Jacobs. I've never been crazy about his label but I got the whole hip downtown vibe his clothes tried to project. Now that he looks like a smarmy Chelsea boy I can't help but wonder if people are still going to derive the same sense of cool when wearing his clothes. Could it be damaging to a brand so closely associated with young, fresh, creative people when its figurehead buys into the bland, generic aesthetic of the wealthy, white, upper middle class gay man?
