Lady Gaga And Marc Jacobs Love New York

The two grace the cover of the new issue of V Magazine which highlights those who "are making the city their own way." The mag's editor on why he chose Gaga for the cover: "Just as the Statue of Liberty was France's gift to America, Gaga is, to us, New York's greatest gift to pop culture and fashion."

Based on his pose, Jacobs doesn't think much of the gift of Gaga.

Lance Bass is Together with Marc Jacobs's Ex

There's a new man in Lance Bass's life. 


The former 'N Sync singer has been happily dating Lorenzo Martone – designer Marc Jacobs's former fiancé – for two months.

"They're dating each other regularly, really like each other and enjoy each other's company," a friend told People Magazine. "They're going to take it one day at a time and see how it goes."

Although the pair met briefly a few years ago, they reconnected at an amfAR event in early June, following Martone's split from Jacobs.

"Lance wasn't interested in dating right away because he was getting over his own breakup with [Queer Eye for the Straight Guy's] Kyan Douglas," says the friend. "But Lorenzo was persistent, so they started talking and slowly spending more time together and really hit it off."

Since then, Bass, 31, and the Brazil-born Martone, who runs a New York public relations agency he also founded, have been spotted out together in Manhattan and Miami. 


So what makes it work? "Lorenzo always thought Lance was really attractive, and Lorenzo is gorgeous, totally Lance's type – tall, dark and handsome," says the source. "They like the same things – movies, dinner with friends. They're very low-key. And it's nice that everyone in their social circles get along."

"When they both found themselves single at the same time, and Lorenzo found out Lance was now living in New York, he jumped at the opportunity to get to know him better."

Marc Jacobs' Beau, Lorenzo Martone, is His New Competition

Living with Marc Jacobs has its benefits because, apparently, his creativity is catching. Marc's longtime partner, Lorenzo Martone, is launching a swimwear line. Lorenzo, an advertising executive-slash-newbie bikini designer, is set to launch his line in July at Miami Swim Week.

The line, Nycked (pronounced nicked), is inspired by Lorenzo's home country of Brazil. In Brazil, Lorenzo explains, swimsuits are considered real fashion. The line is a collaboration between Lorenzo and jewelry designer Jules Kim.

Marc Jacobs' influence is notably absent, Lorenzo says: "Relationships are hard enough without mixing business into them. I don’t advise mixing the personal and professional."

Lorenzo and Jules aimed to create swimwear with an urban, downtown aesthetic—giving it more of a New York feel than Los Angeles. The 20-piece debut collection includes details such as oversized bows, corseting, heat-bonded foil sequins and lace. The primary colors used are black, white and red, with occasional use of nude mesh overlays. Unlike much stylish "swimwear," all pieces of this collection can be worn in the water. Much thought was paid to the functional aspects of the swimsuits, ensuring that wearers will be stylish and comfortable at the same time.

Nycked will range in price from $120 to $210 and will be available in stores in November. We're sure that given Marc's celeb connections, you will be seeing these swimsuits on celebs everywhere.
