W Magazine China interviews Marc Jacobs, now 61 years old, about speculations on a Chanel position. We forget that Jacobs spent 16 years at Louis Vuitton women. Jacobs says he’s not going anywhere — before discussing his 40th anniversary collection.

In the image above, Chu Wong clutches a surreal, oversized version of the Marc Jacobs Venetia bag, one that has morphed into a protective layer of self-defense for everywoman.

Unable to shake our story response as a scene from ‘The Stepford Wives’, a quick trip to Jacobs’ IG finds him a year ago reading the Ira Levin novel.
