Marc by Marc Jacobs fans the rumors are true. The brand will shutter the Marc by Marc Jacobs line, as we know it in order to expand it into the main Marc Jacobs collection reports WWD.

How the change will affect the brands extensive retail presences with banks of Marc Jacobs boutiques in New York and Los Angeles are still unclear but LVMH chairman Bernard Arnault told WWD “The first step is to put in place the organization, and to complete the business plan, which requires retail organization, retail investment and more products. These steps have already started. This will take time, maybe two or three years, to be completely in place.” www.marcjacobs.com
