No celebrities and PR personnel at sight. The world's first Marc Jacobs: Bookmarc had a unusually quiet opening after several "tip-offs" (via Twitter) from long-time friend and business partner of Marc Jacobs, Robert Duffy.

The previous tenant "Biography Book Shop" situated at the corner of Bleecker Street has reincarnated to fashion designer, Marc Jacobs latest brand diffusion. Considered as a complete overhaul, the vibe of the new Bookmarc is a good representation of the designer's personality and design aesthetics - hip and quirky.

Bookmarc is currently stocked with kitschy Marc Jacobs stationery, postcards featuring original art and fashion photography; blank notebooks with reinterpreted 'classic' literary titles that are awfully tongue-in-cheek; breakfast at Bleeker much?

Fans of the "special items" range from the Marc By Marc Jacobs range will be hyped to realise that prices for these Marc-branded school supplies are extremely economical and friendly to college pockets; most non-leather products are priced under $30...now REJOICE!

Designers & Disney

I had an extremely bad day yesterday and these images brought a smile to my face! Fashion designers personified by Disney cartoon characters. Disney cartoonist Ulrich Schroder has ingeniously turned the likes of Karl Lagerfeld, Marc Jacobs, Stefano Gabbana & Domenico Dolce, John Galliano, Donatella Versace, John Paul Gaultier, Sonia & Nathalie Rykiel and Alber Elbaz into classic Disney characters for the April 2010 issue of Elle Spain.

Take A Breath

As stupid as it may sound, Marc Jacobs will be releasing his very own...air freshener (I know, right?!) which will be part of his Daisy by Marc Jacobs perfume.
The air freshener is capped in a limited-edition blue bottle with Daisy's distinctive strawberry, grapefruit, violet, and vanilla accents. And for all Daisy's aficionados, a long "daisy garland" full of thick synthetic flowers drenched in Marc Jacob's scent will be included as well. You can thereby hang the garland in your bedroom to enhance the scent experience.

The Invitation

Marc Jacobs will be streaming his Fall/Winter 2010 fashion show online. Watch the show at www.marcjacobs.com
