Is Marc Jacobs the New Andy Warhol ?


In the last issue of Interview Magazine, Marc Jacobs is compared with Andy Warhol... Let me remind you that Interview was founded by pop-art genius himself.

I don't really believe this comparison is relevant as, apart from being both New Yorker, I don't really see any common points. I love Marc Jacobs, I believe he is a great designer but he's not an artist. He certainly loves contemporary art and has strong knowledge of it, but I am not sure this comparison is accurate. Or I may be wrong ? You let me know.

However Marc by Marc Jacobs know how to play with marketing as the Bleecker Street shop has recently put on sale t-shirts with the cover of the very issue...
