Jacobs appeared on an episode of Variety’s “Lie Detector Test” and was asked about the slew of celebrities who have previously worn his fashion label at their court appearances. The interviewer asked him about whether he’d consider styling Mangione, to which he replied, “Yes,” before saying, “I think he looks pretty good the way he dresses, actually.”

After the designer admitted that he doesn’t think Mangione requires a fashion makeover, the interviewer said, “This led to Nordstrom stores selling out of their red sweaters. Does this make him a trendsetter?”

Jacobs quickly replied with a single-word answer, “yes.”

The interviewer continued, “In your documentary, you joked, ‘Go to Marc Jacobs for your trial outfits…’ Does this mean you were offended when this woman didn’t wear Marc Jacobs at hers?” (RELATED: Shein Appears To Use Luigi Mangioni’s Face To Advertise Summer Shirt)
