Marc Jacobs’s Surprise Birthday Party Was Just as Chic as You’d Imagine
APRIL 9, 2018 1:19 PM
After a week that saw him surprise now-fiancé Charly Defrancesco with a proposal at Chipotle, Marc Jacobs celebrated his birthday (it’s today) on Saturday night in grand fashion. The designer was the center of attention at a surprise party hosted by Defrancesco at haute city nightspot SubMercer, which was transformed into the iconic underground Mudd Club for the evening.
Sprinkled on the dance floor were famous figures including Bette Midler, Debbie Harry, and Naomi Campbell. Also joining the festivities was RuPaul’s Drag Race season 10’s first ousted contestant, Vanessa Vanjie Mateo, aka Miss Vanjie (Jacobs hired Drag Race season six contestant Milk, né Daniel Donigan, to appear in his Spring 2016 campaign), who donned a crown and jewels befitting the celebration of one of fashion’s most gregarious figures.
