Instagram Accident Inspires Jacobs T-Shirt

You can always count on Marc jacobs to make light of a drama (hiring Winona Ryder to model for him after having been arrested for allegedly shoplifting his clothes from Saks Fifth Avenue in 2001 is just one prime example), and an accidental Instagram is no exception. The designer - who in June accidentally posted a picture of his private parts along with the caption "It's yours to try!" - has turned the minor embarrassment into a new product.

Although the original picture only stayed live for a few seconds (having reportedly been meant for a single recipient as a direct message), the power of the screengrab means that it soon became easily accessible online - but, rather than hide and pretend it never happened, Jacobs has released a T-shirt bearing the slogan: "It's yours to try!" The designer sported the T-shirt in an Instagram post last night alongside the words: "I mean the T-shirt!!"

Typically nonplussed about his perceived indiscretion, Jacobs wrote on Instagram after the June mistaken posting: "Yeah. I accidentally posted a pic of my bare ass and took it down. I'm a gay man. I flirt and chat with guys on line sometimes. Big deal!"
