2019 春夏紐約時裝週圓滿落幕，但在這之前卻發生了一個小插曲，那就是一直都以準時聞名的Marc Jacobs大秀，讓所有來賓乾等一個多小時才開秀！而究竟怎麼會如此失控的原因，沒有別得，原來是這些要上台的衣服塞在路上，大遲到！對於碰到這種無法預測的鳥事，許多人覺得情有可原，但還是有許多人大為不解，甚至更有人聳動發言一定有內幕和應謀論，關於種種謠言，設計師Marc Jacobs 本人親自在IG上解釋了。

I sincerely apologize to anyone and everyone who was inconvenienced by my lateness at our Spring/Summer 2019 fashion show. For anyone interested, below is not a list of excuses but rather a list of facts. I fully understand people have plans, lives, commitments, flights, families to return to, etc and that I fully RESPECT. I’ve heard, read and reflected on your frustration, anger and outrage. If you choose to read the below, I hope that you can find your own place of understanding. 1. The night before the show at midnight, I believed that we would absolutely be starting at 6pm, as planned and it was my intention to do so. 2. At 3:30pm on the day of the show, I became aware that we would most likely be an hour late. In good faith and hope it was communicated that the show would start at 630pm and that was a mistake. 3. After years of being beyond punctual and once again, with every intention of remaining so, the fact is, more is always expected from us with fewer and fewer resources. That is not unique to me personally or us as a company. I have learned that I need to adjust to our realities. 4. It was my wishful thinking that we could accomplish all that needed to be done for this show with the circumstances we faced. I was wrong. Not because everyone didn’t make every effort or give it their all and more, life is just that way sometimes. I’ve always been told that, “if you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans.” With our shows, I always strive to present 7-10 minutes of live fashion theatre that hopefully makes some kind of statement or touch the audience in some way both aesthetically and emotionally. I think we all have to be a little more sensitive and flexible to the fragile state of the live experience. I hope anyone reading this will reflect on my thoughts as I have on yours. Sincerely and respectfully, Marc

我很真誠地向在2019年春夏時裝秀上的每個人為我的遲到致歉。如果任何人有興趣想要了解我遲到的原因可以繼續閱讀，我知道我沒有藉口，以下都為事實陳述。我完全能理解大家都有自己的計劃和生活，有重要的約會、要趕飛機或有家庭要照顧等等，對於你們選擇離開秀場去完成下一個任務，我十分尊重這些選擇。當然我聽到了很多人對於這次事件的憤怒和沮喪。如果您選擇了閱讀以下內容，希望大家能夠理解。
1. 在秀前一天晚上凌晨，我真的以為可以在原定時間6點開始演出。
2. 在開秀當天下午3點半，我意識到我們很可能會遲到1小時才開始。可是還是抱著希望演出可以順利的在下午六點半開始，我知道這是個很大的錯誤。
3. 我們公司一直都很講求準時，但是我們要面對的事實是大家的期待愈來愈高，而資源又愈來愈少，所以我們必須要調整。
4. 我很希望這次工作都能在預定時間內完成，但我錯了，並不是因為我們沒有全力以赴。有時生活就是這樣，我常常被告知說：「如果你告訴上天你的計畫，他就會開你一個玩笑。」不是每件事情都能在我控制範圍以內。我的每場秀都堅持在7到10分鐘內完成並且希望能夠帶出某種意義或觸動到觀眾的情感，所以我想未來我們都必須對秀上的狀況都需要更加敏感和靈活應變。
我希望讀到這篇文章的人會明白和了解。
Marc
用了最簡單又最真誠的文字，搭配幽默的配圖，Marc Jacobs 不但不替自己的遲到找藉口，面對失誤以最謙卑的態度檢討自己和團隊，並真切的點出現在時尚圈資源越來越少，但大家期待仍越來越高的現象，不只讓許多人再度圈粉，時尚圈內人士也大讚Marc Jacobs這樣的處理態度。
另外加上看到這些絕美的服裝，等再久，也是值得了。
