The whole world was shocked to learn about the allegations against famous producer Harvey Weinstein. He was supporting many Oscar winning actresses and actors and he made them world famous. He was a usual front row guest at fashion shows like Marchesa, Christian Dior, Louis Vuitton.
Seems like before the big scandal this year, in the past despite the many rumors about his behavior stars looked up to him and admired him.
MARION COTILLARD ( FACE OF DIOR CAMPAIGN) WITH HARVEY WEINSTEIN
I was curious weather fashion designer Marc Jacobs knows Harvey Weinstein. I was not surprised at all when I learned that Marc Jacobs wrote about Weinstein in his profile for New Yorker in 2008 September, the same article where he wrote about the private casting he did specially for me at his office at the Louis Vuitton in Paris.
Marc Jacobs is the designer who has been harassing me since I was 16 years old. He has been copying my work for many brands since 2008. I sued Louis Vuitton and Dior in Paris at the Tribunal in 2017.
I quote what Marc Jacobs said himself about Harvey Weinstein:
Marc Jacobs walked toward the library entrance with Harvey Weinstein and his wife, the fashion designer Georgina Chapman.
“That Murakami thing!” Weinstein barked.
“Oh, it was great!” Jacobs said, smoking.
“It’s ridiculous!” Weinstein shouted. “You made him! Ridiculous!”
“That’s a great color on you,” Jacobs told Chapman, who was wearing a dark-crimson gown. “No, it really is.”
“I designed it,” Weinstein joked, pawing at his wife’s shoulder.
“Oh, he does everything!” Jacobs retorted. “I want to be you when I grow up, Harvey.”
“You stole all your ideas from me,” Weinstein said.

After Marc Jacobs met me, he got the word "shameless" tattooed on his chest. He said at his New Yorker profile: " I am going to get 'shameless' tattoo next," he said the Eiffel Tower sparkling behind him in the night sky. "That's what I think everyone should aspire to in life: being shameless."
The good friend of Marc Jacobs Terry Richardson took this photo of him ( shameless tattoo on his chest on the photo)
Terry Richardson was recently banned from working for the Conde Nast magazines. Many young girls accused him of harassing them. Who supported Terry Richardson? You can read more here.

When I read the news that photographer Terry Richardson is banned from
working with Vogue and other Conde Nast magazines, it got me thinking.
He has been accused of sexually
assaulting multiple women over the last decade.

We all heard the scandal in 2010, when he was accused of sexually exploiting models.
"Richardson has now found himself at the center of a storm as debate
rages across the US fashion media after Rie Rasmussen, the Danish
model-turned-filmmaker, confronted him at a party during Paris fashion week.
"I told him what you do is completely degrading to women, I hope you
know
you only [bleep] girls because you have a camera, lots of fashion
contacts and get your pictures in Vogue," Rasmussen told the New York
Post. She claimed Richardson fled the party, then called her agency to
complain." via The Guardian
Later, in 2014, several models Richardson had photographed claimed they were assaulted on set.
How come that he could still work in the fashion industry after all
those allegations against him? Who were the people who still worked with
him and supported him?
I searched on the internet and I found a very interesting article about
feminist Maria Grazia Chiuri ( the current creative director of Dior ).
She was working with Terry Richardson in 2014 after he had been accused
of sexual abuse by more young girls.
When Maria Grazia was the creative director of Valentino, she tapped
Terry Richardson to shoot the Valentino campaign and also to feature his
own hands on the photos.
Fashion label Valentino has been slammed
by industry insiders for featuring photographer Terry Richardson in its
latest campaign, despite the series of shocking allegations of sexual
assault that have been made against him by more than a dozen models. Many critics have been left horrified that the
brand has continued to show its support for Richardson and his work.
Maria Grazia Chiuri says about herself that she is a "feminist".

When I read that Maria Grazia worked with Richardson the first thing came to my mind was her
" We should all be feminist Dior T- Shirt $710 " What does Maria Grazia mean by being a feminist?

I found another interesting article. Guess who else hired Terry Richardson?
Natalia Vodianova, Russian model, mother of 5. She is living with Antoine Arnault, son of the billionaire Bernard Arnault, the owner of fashion brands like Louis Vuitton and Christian Dior, Givenchy.
Natalia Vodianova's Etam collection's video was shot by Terry
Richardson in 2014. Everyone heard about Richardson's scandal with young
girls. Then why did Natalia Vodianova hire him for her collections
film?
Natalia says about herself that she is a " philanthropist, who is
collecting lot of money for Russian children with special needs" .

In 2010 Marc Jacobs defended Terry Richardson.
"We
asked Jacobs whether sexy photo shoots with young models should be more
closely monitored by the fashion industry. “I’ve worked with Terry and
Terry has asked me to do some crazy things,” Jacobs said. “I know that
those pictures will exist if I do them. But I’m a big boy and I can say
no.”
…
Talking more widely about the industry, he added: “If a girl is
underage, maybe the girl’s agent or chaperon should be present on the
shoot. That’s the hard part. Who’s to blame or who’s to watch?” via the Cut
“I’m going to get a ‘shameless’ tattoo next,” he said, the Eiffel Tower
sparkling behind him in the night sky. “That’s what I think everyone
should aspire to in life: being shameless.”

The story of the young artist who sued more big fashion companies in Paris
My
name is Angel Barta. I am a fashion designer and writer from Hungary.
In 2017 I sued LVMH, Louis Vuitton and Christian Dior at the Tribunal in Paris.
Please share the link of my story with the social button
to any SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS, facebook or twitter, so the truth will
be out and I will have a free life again, just like every other girl in
the world !
I have been fighting for my freedom and also for the freedom of every artist in the world for 12 years.
Thank you for all your support!
I’m here to share with
you the truth about famous American designer Marc Jacobs. There is
something the media hides from you: Jacobs is a behind-the-scenes
puppet master. He controls and pressures many celebrities. He is an egomaniac and wants to control everyone! He's been terrorizing and torturing me for 12 years since I was 16 years old.
I
come from an artistic family. Everyone in my family has art in them. My
mother can sew beautiful clothes and she is very talented in
photography. I have been born into the clothing business. Since I was a
child I was surrounded by many clothes. I've always had a very special
style. Even as a young girl I was always wearing something unusual,
something new. I never followed trends. I was wearing special clothes in
Paris in 2008.
I
first met Marc Jacobs back in 2008 in Paris, when I was only 16. Right
off the bat he took notice of my unique style and my eye for fashion.
He thought that since I was a young, innocent girl, he could easily
seduce me with his promises of fashion designer career in the fashion
industry.He made a sneaky plan to steal my ideas, copy my designs and
enjoy the success and the money he could earn with my talent. Here is my message. Thank you for all the support, love and nice messages.
Angel Barta at the Louis Vuitton show in 2009
After
a while, the more I got to know Marc the scarier and crueler person he
revealed himself to be. Over the last few years, I have realized that
Marc Jacobs is the manipulator of the century. He wants to control the entire media machine. Marc Jacobs is very good friends with Harvey Weinstein. He has always looked up to Weinstein. Marc
Jacobs has been stealing my designs, my style, my photos and my
concepts for seven years. My unique fashion designs have enticed him to
reproduce my creations across the brands he has his hand in. He wants
to be the most powerful person in the entertainment and fashion world
by using my ideas without my permission.
He steals my designs with illegal, dirty tricks.
Jacobs wants to hide me and the fact that he has been using my work from
the fashion industry. Since he discovered that my unique style sells
well, he plans to continue hiding me and stealing my designs as long as
possible. This has been going on for 10 years. So I decided to start a
blog about my story to let the truth be known, with the hope that having
the truth out there, he might be persuaded to finally leave me alone.
Just because he is rich and famous does not give him the right to pass
off a rising designer's work for his own and he does not have right to
invade into my personal life.
Marc Jacobs and Angel Barta
Jacobs is famous for copying other people's work. His company was sued
by Adidas in 2014. Lately young artists sued Marc Jacobs in New York in
2017 novemeber for
copying her work. Katie Thierjung and two private companies: Laser
Kitten, LLC and
Wildflower + Co., Inc. The trio filed their suit against Marc Jacobs in
the Southern District of New York on November 7th 2017.
In 2018 december the famous band Nirvana sued Marc Jacobs for copyright infringement..

Marc Jacobs had to leave his creative director position at Louis Vuitton
in 2013. These companies continued to copy my work. They are copying me
even today.
His brand Marc by Marc Jacobs does not exist any more. He only works now for his own label Marc Jacobs in New York.
I am very grateful for all the people who believe in me and who want to
help me. I am grateful to my lawyer who believes in my case. He is very
brave and talented lawyer. He was brave enough to stand up for the truth
and to defend a young artist against big multi companies. He helped me
to sue Christian Dior, Louis Vuitton and LVMH in Paris in 2017 for
copyright infringement and parasitism.
This 10 years have been really long and hard for me. I have suffered a
lot and experienced many bad things thank to Marc Jacobs and his team.
Before I met Marc Jacobs my life was wonderful. I was happy and I
experienced only good things and I met only good people. I never
imagined that such bad and mean people exist. Just because I am talented
I had to suffer 10 years in the mean and sick game of Jacobs. He kept
me in a secret because he has always been afraid of getting the truth to
be out about him not having talent and using my work.
Please share the link to my blog on facebook or twitter or instagram. Please help the truth to be out!
More
of Jacobs' ad campaigns have been banned in UK. For example in 2013 the
Daisy ad with Dakota Fanning, for sexualizing underage girl.
Not only does he greatly influence fashion, but he slyly pulls the strings of many celebrities, the entertainment industry, and even the film industry. He controls and pressures many singers and actors by using his clout in exchange for their participation in his schemes. He
gets them campaign contracts and magazine covers, which equate to money
and fame. In return, they take dirty pictures for him, they wear his
clothes, are seen with him in public, and do what he dictates in their
public lives. Marc Jacobs's sick fantasies stand out in his editorials
and in the performances of today's big stars.The stars have to dance and act the way Jacobs wants them to.For
example, Jacobs is responsible for Miley Cyrus's shocking perverse new
image. She was the face of Jacobs' ad campaign so he has convinced
Miley to realize all of Jacobs's perverse fantasies.
My film about my collection
Here are a couple of examples of the more hundreds of copies.
In 2014 I designed these Angel Barta VIP Couture skirts with a very special zipper. It became my trademark.
In 2015 I saw the copies of my design in the Louis Vuitton collection.
I
sued Louis Vuitton, Dior and LVMH in 2016. Later I saw that Marc Jacobs
copied my design on purpose for his own collection. He did not even
care about the lawsuit against LVMH, he still continued to copy my work
on purpose. ( Marc Jacobs company is owned by LVMH fashion group.)
Here is another dress from my Angel Barta VIP Couture collection. You can see the copy of my dress on Karlie Kloss, a fashion model. Marc Jacobs made her famous. She is the model on many photos where they copied my work.
On the first photo it is me in Paris in 2007, when Marc Jacobs first saw me. On the second photo it is Karlie Kloss, the same model again.

of them is Natalia Vodianova the Russian model. She was married to an
aristocrat with 3 young children when she got together with Antoine
Arnault the son of the owner of Louis Vuitton and Christian Dior. They
are living together. On the photo Natalia Vodianova is with the

Natalia looked in life, when they made the Etam campaign with her. They
retouched her to look like me on the photos. The hair, the make-up, the
style, everything was the copy of my personality.
