Marc Jacobs, the reborn Louis Vuitton designer who has a thing for playboys and press, is a perfect fit in Provincetown, Mass., the East Coast's gay mecca where he has opened a store. "As you can imagine, when Marc by Marc opened last summer, some Ptown regulars grumbled that it was too snooty for this salty, sexy town and would dilute the charming local flavor. But anyone with a speck of taste would choose the place any day over that irritating Black Dog store down the street." [NYT]
