Missy Elliott Snags Marc Jacobs Fall 2016 Campaign

Missy Elliott is undeniably “supa dupa fly” and Marc Jacobs agrees.

The designer shared a portrait of his latest muse on his Instagram from his label’s Fall 2016 Campaign.

“I am in continued awe of Missy’s ability to push the boundaries of the style of music both to the eye and to the ear. It was a dream of mine to work with her and I’m happy to share this portrait by David Sims for our Fall ’16 campaign,” the designer captioned.

Missy Elliott To Be Honored At VH1 ‘Hip Hop Honors’

 

MISSY, Supa Dupa Fly From the moment I heard, The Rain, back in 1997, I was entranced by the genius rhythms and brilliant rhymes of Missy Elliott. Missy’s music has kept me and my design team happily energized through countless weekdays, weeknights and weekends during those long hours of sketching, fitting, styling and doing looks. In addition to the boundless energy of her music are the visually pulsating and wildly cartoon-like music videos she made in collaboration with the talented and visionary, Hype Williams. I am in continued awe of Missy’s ability to push the boundaries of the style of music both to the eye and to the ear. It was a dream of mine to work with her and I'm happy to share this portrait by David Sims for our Fall '16 campaign.
