A year ago, you had to quietly map the Marc Jacobs sale in your head:
“Okay, the store merchandise hits at this date, so let’s give it six weeks, then call to see about discounts” was the general logic.
You could also bribe a salesboy to call you exactly when the sale started or, more easily, befriend a fashion editor or become a fashion editor so you’d get the coveted email from the MJ PR team, telling you to go shopping. We’d be lying if we didn’t admit, a little bit, that this is exactly why we went into fashion in the first place. But anyway.
Today on Mercer Street, that old system shattered, replaced by something newer:
A giant sign that says “70% Off.”
And a grateful nation thanks you, Marc Jacobs.
