New Marc Jacobs Tees Demand Gays’ Right to Wed

Two new political T-shirts arrived in the Marc by Marc Jacobs Accessories store on Wednesday, both scrawled with the words, “I pay my taxes, I want my RIGHTS!” Our favorite of the two depicts a chic, presumably lesbian couple clad in stiletos and little black dresses, their arms draped around each other and a baby (who, adorably, also sports her own mini-LBD). The other version has a dollar sign and an American flag floating around the text. Both are $24 at 385 Bleecker Street, where assistant store manager Bret Paterson says they’ve been selling. The response has been positive as they’ve been unpacking them over the past couple of days — mainly a mix of “well, they deserve it,” remarks and delighted laughter, he says. According to a rep from the showroom, both are available in limited runs of around 200.
