WWD just reported that Marc Jacobs is cutting the guestlist dramatically for the fall 2009 show on February 16th at the 69th Regiment Armory on Lexington Avenue. The company will reduce invites from 2,000 (1,100 seated and 900 standing) to 700 (500 seated and 200 standing). OMG!  6 Responses to “Marc Jacobs Cuts Fall 2009 Fashion Week Invites” |

This is truly my issue with MJ, he’s creating a hysteria that’s making everyone even more nervous about money. He’s not hurting and even if he was, it’s not as badly as other companies/he can still maintain his showmanship. I think him cutting out parties and space is ridiculous. I think it’s fine to scale back a bit, but he’s just being a jackass about it.

why does he do that? Doesn’t he need more buyers and customers to see his clothes in order to buy more in this economic crisis?

yikes! another effect of the recession?

Looks like the recession has hit the fashion industries too. More guests means more money spent on invitation cards, press kit, etc. Since the US has been hit quite hard financially, this kind of situation is bound to happen.

They are all cutting, and the press lists seem to be geting the axe first. I understand they need more room for buyers, but it’s the press that gets the attention of customers and buyers and drives them into the stores. I’ve always had more invites than I knew what to do with and this year, the invites seem scarce. Bring back the old fashion week!!! I wish the designers would realize the importance of the media (and it’s not just all about Vogue, Elle and Harpers Bazaar).
