SY @ the Marc Jacobs show?
 

"One of the funniest things I heard all day — aside from the rumor that Sonic Youth is going to play at the Marc Jacobs show on Friday — was that Donna Karan wants Bernard Arnault, the chief of LVMH, to pay for a fundraiser for one of HER causes. She’d have trouble, though, topping Madonna, Gucci, and the United Nations, to say nothing of the cause itself".

who is he? a designer? do you think SY would play on fashion show live, hehe, like in the Sugar Kane video, then some chick would come up and walked through aisle naked?

That was the very wonderful Chloe Sevigny...

Marc Jacobs is a full on fashion designer and has been friends with K + T for a very long time. They have played at one of his shows before if my memory is correct.

my gf went to her party in nyc the other day. she just walked on in and pretended she was on the guest list. she saw the slits play and she said chloe was really into them. chloe passed her a joint too.

SY played in a Jacobs show lat year or two years ago.

Anyway, Kim is hagging around the Fashion week in NYC:

I really love Kim, she is really amazing.

woah! they played there? that's really cool. did anyone go?

what they played ?

7:45 p.m. | The set was very high school auditorium with scaffolding above the stage where the girls lined up after their walk. A huge video screen in the background showed a video installation of a giant eye by Tony Oursler. Sonic Youth played in front of it. Very cool but a little distracting.

7:47 p.m. | Posh was there as was M.I.A., Selma Blair and Co. sitting on banquettes and sipping Moët out of mini bottles.



Ha ha! Posh Spice has seen Sonic Youth play! Now we know why the Spices cancelled half their tour - they're getting together new arrangements of their songs, with added skronk! There's gonna be bits of Kool Thing mixed in with Wannabe! Davie Beckham's gonna voice the Chuck D bits!

NOOOOOoooooooooooooo i never thought i would hear Posh Spice, David Beckham and Sonic Youth mentioned in the same sentence!!!! :eek:

they were playing " jams run free" according to this review

"This was an older, wiser Jacobs who invited his old friend Kim Gordon and Sonic Youth to play live in front of a video installation by Tony Oursler. Popcorn was served, and so was Champagne. There was even a Sonic Youth T-shirt on each seat".

mark ibold looked very fashionable as always. he should be a model.

At said after-party, it was Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore who was disappointed. “I didn’t get a goodie bag,” he said, referring to the packages stamped with images of his band's Goo album cover. “I was really bummed. I went out looking for one afterwards and they were all gone.”

enjoy while watching relatively a grey and conservative fall collection darlings

i went. i shot the rehearsal and the show. maybe i'll edit something for the site.

they also played this dior thing a while back. and for some reason, both shows remind me of how it felt when harmony was shooting sunday. if i can spend a little time thinking, i may mash the 3 events together into one something.

thanks for da link!

that would be lovely!

sexy new guitars!

set list for rehearsal + performance please, habib?

and on the drums there is a new sign ! there was "peace" now is So???

You're just an all-round fucking god, aren't you, Chris? Good man!

Marc Jacobs, talk of the town

The Associated Press
Regular attendees of the Marc Jacobs show knew they were in for a surprise when entering the cavernous Armory. The usual rows of bleachers had been been arranged along three sides of a large square stage, with rows of leather banquet seating in front of two of the sides for the celebs and top editors.
A cheerful assistant offered us M&Ms, nuts and popcorn as we entered. Cool Sonic Youth cloth bags where on each seat (gift bags at Marc? Very unusual) -- warming the heart of this reporter, whose iPod sometimes seems to belong to a 1994-era DJ. My seatmate tipped me off that there were tiny bottles of Moet on offer, and I dashed to get a tipple for myself -- thinking I better settle in for the usual long haul of an MJ show.
Jacobs himself dashed out onto the stage several times, admonishing people to get in their seats, because he was ready to start. It caused great laughter and applause, becase Marc's show is so famously late that it's certainly the No. 1 bitch among the over-privileged fashion world. He looked very dapper, very fit and his hair might have been dyed blue -- or perhaps it was the light. Or perhaps it was the mini Moet, which I was downing rather rapidly.



But Jacobs wasn't kidding. At 7:23 -- the earliest start time of any of the 60-odd shows I attended all week -- Sonic Youth came out, took up their guitars and started wailing away. I assumed it was a pre-show concert to keep people entertained, and then the models came out.
In a complete reversal from last season, Jacobs' went prim and covered-up -- long, nearly shapeless coats, slouchy trousers, high-necked tops with serious pleating, almost pad-like, at the shoulders. The palette was muted -- cream, soft pink, ice blue, mint green, heather gray.
Sonic Youth was manic, restless, loud -- Thurston Moore and Kim Gordon must be into their 40s and 50s now, respectively, but they look and sound as good as they ever did -- a sharp contrast to the robotic stillness of the models, with their sleek, severe ponytails and nude-looking faces.
As the models exited the stage, they must have walked up a flight of stairs to a scaffolding bridge over the stage, where they stood, one by one, until the group was complete. No finale run, no chance to see the clothes we missed when we were distracted by the band.
It was a fascinating, memorable show alright, but one that left me filling unsatisfied. There was a sense of removal from the whole proceedings -- all the celeb watching fun of the typical MJ show was abbreviated not only by the quick start time, but from the remove of those banquet tables. From Row 7, the details of the clothes were hard to make out, and again, it's hard to take your eyes away from a magnetic band.
But above all, the show was a talker, the fitting end to a long week of vaguely uninspiring clothes that more often seem to be about styling than true design. And I'm sure a lot of editors missed the show because it started so promptly, giving them a different spin on that MJ bitching.

Don't worry about Thurston. He probably got loads of Jacobs lotions and deodorants that he can sell on eBay. :)

Btw, here is the goodie bag:

Sexy indeed... these were taken at the Festival Ecstatique in Amherst, MA on the 17 November '07.

 

 

thats the J.Mascis Fender Jazzmaster (the purple one)!

we're all forgetting what's important here.... are those MJ shoes kim is wearing? I don't recall seeing them before. details!

good point, and i am fair to assume her strpped dress is MJ as well? i have seen similar designs worn by sofia coppola and others

a cute quote from the daily mail from Victoria Beckham



Victoria reportedly marveled at Sonic Youth's live performance, saying: "I didn't listen to them before but now I might start."

late bloomer, ehe.
