We Heart You Forever: Retro Marc Jacobs' Ads

After years of creative, interesting, arty ads featuring an array of "it girls" and offbeat cool girls in an array of oddball situations and positions, Marc Jacobs is going in a new direction for his Fall 2014 campaigns, and that direction is going to be bland, stiff models. No more amazing Fanning sisters, no more crazy Victoria Beckham coming out of bags or Winona Ryder trying on shoes. Instead, Marc has cast a series of models posing like mannequins and it looks like this:

For this campaign, the designer is turning again to his brilliant and faithful photographer, Juergen Teller, who has shot almost every ad for Jacobs since the late '90s (with the exception of Miley Cyrus—reportedly Teller did not want to photograph her), and the photos are sure to be as shockingly beautiful and haunting as all the ones that came before it. But still, we'll miss the old style ads. There was just something so fun and unexpected and original about them, like we were all in on the some inside-fashion cool-kids joke.

Join me now in reveling in ad campaign nostalgia. RIP Marc Jacobs' ads, 1998-2014
