Editorial Review for Marc Jacobs – by Rebecca Braverman
The Scene
Everybody hearts Marc. Now he's set up a mini-mall on the lovelier end of Bleecker, bringing a full line for men and his brilliant bridge line, Marc by Marc Jacobs, to these two adjacent storefronts and (further down the street) a shop devoted to accessories.
The Goods
Perhaps inspired by the alterna-preppy look sported by Spike Jonze, the menswear's full of simple separates: button-down shirts, perfectly-cut cords, jeans-style jackets of the softest moleskin in a muted rainbow of colors (olive, dusty blue, rust). There's even a smattering of boy-friendly accessories. As for the bridge line, it's just as stylish as its more high-priced sibling, with a vibe reminiscent of what you probably wore in high school, but with fashion-forward flair. Look for denim separates in non-traditional shapes (puffy sleeved coats and trenches), witty prints and kooky jewelry.

the sales dude is hot...the one with the blue eyes and black hair...but they really need to just get regular cash registers

I am a longtime fan of the MARC by Marc Jacobs line. I was a loyal customer at the Boston store when I lived in Boston, and the staff there was always friendly, attentive and helpful. Wish I could say the same about the Bleecker store... I've been to the store twice, both times on a less-busy weekday afternoon. Neither time was I greeted or acknowledged at any point. In fact, both times, the only attention I got was a salesguy saying "excuse me" as he pushed by with an armful of clothes. The salespeople were basically hanging out behind the counter complaining about their manager last time I was there. I felt invisible and uncomfortable, which is even more ridiculous if you consider I was wearing Marc by Marc shoes, bag and top- they should have spotted an easy commission! Neither time did I try anything on- perhaps a salesperson would have warmed up to me then. But why bother- I can go to Barney's and see practically the exact same MbMJ collection with service that makes me want to stay and browse- and buy.
Pros: beautiful clothes
Cons: bad service
