    Snickering at fashion people is like shooting fish in a barrel, but, uh, “bang” is an adjective?

      Hate to throw stones at that one, I’ve said many stupider things.

    The part that actually cracks me up is that Jacobs talked about the Bang fragrance itself is “organic.” I mean WHAAT?

    So the point I got from the clip is the whole campaign style of his line. Both Daisy and Lola have this connections between clothing and perfume. Also the designer put in an over-sized bottle in both posters. To me that represents their intentions to emphasize the perfume, not just a face. Or nudity.

    The perfume part? Com’on it’s not an interview of Yann Vasnier. lol

      I assume he did not mean organic as in “lack of pesticides” but rather “resembling a living organism in organization or development; interconnected”.

        Yeah I guess. But I think he was just running out of words to fill in. Organic seems to be a chic choice of word. lol

    Bang? lol…wow. I keep picturing William Hung singing “She Bangs” on American Idol… they should SO get him to be on the print ads, although that would hardly help sales, I’m afraid… lol…. Wheewww… I need a drink. 🙂

    Oh well. And Marc Jacobs removed the clip.

    I wonder why.
