Marc Jacobs Skips Town thanks to Sandy: Marc Jacobs’s flooded West Village apartment has forced him to skip town, and all of the United States apparently, for the remainder of the year.

Though fear not, Jacobs is expected to hit New York again in time for his rescheduled symposium discussion with Fern Mallis at the 92Y on January 9. [Page Six]
