Christina Ricci calls Marc Jacobs a 'visionary'

NEW YORK, Feb. 20 (UPI) -- Actress Christina Ricci praised designer Marc Jacobs ahead of his 2015 New York Fashion Week Thursday, telling reporters he is a "visionary."

"I've known him for over 10 years. He's such a visionary," said the actress, who sat front row along the likes of Nicki Minaj and Sofia Coppola during his show at the Lexington Armory.

"I have, like, so many. A crazy amount. As soon as I was buying nice stuff, it was Marc," added Ricci.

Jacobs' show featured a series of eclectic looks that included wool dresses, soft pink pantsuits, furs and items with embroidered flowers.

"What I see in the street now doesn't interest me," the designer told reporters backstage after the show. "I am so tired of street-style looks."

Francois Nars, of Nars, was responsible for the models' makeup during the show, and said the collection was based in the legendary fashion editor Diana Vreeland.

"The idea of a really strong woman, really sophisticated like the swans of the '50s and '60s," he said.
