Glamour subscribers - September issue - ad question?

Question

In the September 2008 issue of Glamour there is an ad for Marc Jacobs items. The ad I am referring to is the 4th ad in the magazine. My husband and I are both stumped. The ad is for women's clothing, but the model looks very masculine - from the jaw line to the chest and eyebrows. Does anyone else think this model is a male? I am just curious - it seems very odd that they would choose this model this advertise their clothes. I know fashion designers are always trying to make a statement - but it just seems like a very strange ad. Just curious - thanks for your opinions.

Answer 1

Yup the model wearing a deep pink (not really sure how they call that color) and black prints is indeed a male. He's Cole Mohr, a male model. Marc Jacobs had him featured in his Fall 2008 collection. I think Marc Jacobs is getting weird, remember his bag ad with Victoria Beckham?
