Fashion news: Marc Jacobs reality show, Pugh designs accessories for Apple, and more
Marc Jacobs is rumoured to have a reality show in the works for gay network Logo.

Agent Provocateur has thought up a new way to stay cool: comic books. The brand recently released “New World Order: Mission To Earth” as its freshest advertising idea.

Last week, a meeting in Washington brought together politicians, designers and lobbyists interested in creating a Fashion Caucus in Congress. Designer Nanette Lepore and Democratic Representative of California Diane Watson were in attendance to discuss fashion business and the need for a stronger presence of government in the industry.
