Leave it to top fashion designer Marc Jacobs to cross-dress without looking tacky and tasteless!
The 49-year-old designer of his namesake fashion house was spotted earlier this year in a black-and-white ensemble, which he wore at the Mercedes Benz Fashion Show 2013 in Berlin.

Iconic Look at Mercedes Benz Fashion Show
His outfit consisted of a white button-down shirt, which he paired with a black A-line knee-length skirt. Note that this is not the first and only time that Marc Jacobs has been seen cross-dressing.
This ensemble is actually much more subdued and dressed down compared to his other cross-dressing looks.

Embracing Authenticity and Courage
“It took 57 years to be able to say, ‘I’m not running away.’ I’m here. I’m going to wear this. And, if it’s life-threatening, that is a risk I am willing to take. It shouldn’t be life-threatening, nor should the color of my skin, nor should my sexual preference and nor should whether I wear heels or sneakers,” Marc Jacobs told The Fashionography in an interview.
“If I wore a pair of Nikes, whatever, I would “blend in” a bit more, but I would wear Rick Owens platform boots and Marc Jacobs high-heel shoes and whatever I want to wear,” the American fashion designer added.
