Marc Jacobs' Shocking Admission Sparks Outrage Over Killer's Trial
Fashion designer Marc Jacobs has sparked outrage after saying he would dress admitted killer Luigi Mangione for his state trial in New York. The murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson occurred on December 4, 2024, and Mangione pleaded guilty to stalking and killing him.
In a segment for Vanity Fair, Jacobs was asked if he would style Mangione, who is known for wearing burgundy sweaters, for his trial. Jacobs said 'yes' and noted that Mangione looks 'pretty good the way he dresses.'
Jacobs has faced backlash on social media, with users accusing him of being vapid and tone-deaf. Some have vowed to never buy his clothes again, while others have criticized his response as insensitive.
