Marc Jacobs needs to get dressed up every day otherwise he’ll feel “depressed”.
The 57-year-old designer confessed he is keeping his spirits up during the Covid-19 pandemic by using fashion as his morale booster while stuck at home.
“I mean, I have to get dressed every day. I just have to. You know, even if it does come down to a sweatshirt and a T-shirt or whatever, you know, I just have to do the whole thing. Otherwise, I get too depressed,” he told Town & Country magazine.
And he’s a firm believer in not saving any of his clothes for a special occasion and wears whatever he feels like, especially during the last several months.
“I’ve got all this stuff, and I just want to enjoy it. Now is the time for everything, you know what I mean? If not now, when?” Jacobs asked.
Elsewhere in the interview, he spoke of his love for pearls and said a particular necklace has helped him to feel safe amid the uncertainty of the global health crisis.
“Even on days when I don’t want to get dressed, I put on my pearls and I think, ‘You know what, I’ve been healthy, I’ve been safe, I’ve been happy.’ I just think there’s something lucky about these pearls, so I’m very, very adamant about wearing them every day,” he explained.
“With all the chaos and catastrophe that’s going on, I’m just like, you know what, somehow I’m still safe, so they’re doing something.”
