Marc Jacobs Wants to Sign Luigi Mangione
Jacobs' iconic pieces are no stranger to the courtroom. Some of the top tastemakers in the industry have donned his iconic pieces. Actress Winona Ryder, rap artist Lil Kim, and actress Courtney Love have all worn Jacobs' clothing during their legal proceedings.
Jacobs was grilled about the presence of his iconic pieces in the courtroom during a recent appearance on Vanity Fair's lie detector test.
The host of the segment slid a picture of Mangione and asked him if he would be open to styling the accused killer. To which Jacobs responded yes. However, he also made sure to give Mangione props for doing a solid job of styling himself thus far.
"I think he looks pretty good the way he dresses, actually," Jacobs said (via Fox News).
Jacobs' comments led to a lot of reactions from fans on social media.
"Fashion becoming part of courtroom discourse was not on my bingo card," one user wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
"U know a jury loves themselves some Marc by Marc Jacobs on the stand," a second user chimed in.
"We find the defendants not guilty by reason of Marc Jacobs, Your Honor," a third user responded.
Luigi Mangione became a public figure after his 2024 arrest. He was charged with stalking and murdering United Health Care CEO Brian Thompson in Midtown Manhattan.
Mangione has remained mum about the killing and why he committed the act -- at least in the public eye. But he did talk to some people about his reasoning for the heinous act while behind bars. The New York Post recently caught up with Linus Fu, a former prisoner at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center, where Mangione is currently being housed.
Fu says that Mangione felt like he was playing the role of a "Robin Hood figure" by slaying the United Healthcare CEO.
He recently pleaded guilty to the murder but will still have to stand trial for the charges in New York.
