Marc Jacobs' Bang perfume ad
Marc Jacobs is undeniably one of the most talented men in fashion. As the creative director for both Louis Vuitton and Marc Jacobs, he is in charge of some of fashion's most respected brands and is a celebrity in his own right.
The world was first introduced to Marc with his grunge collection for Perry Ellis in 1992. Since then, he's had a variety of roles and has been at the helm of Louis Vuitton since 1997. Now, with the release of his new frangrance Bang, Marc Jacobs is showing the world a side of him no one (except of course his mom and boyfriends) has ever seen. Marc hasn't always been so buff and naked! Here, Marc's style transformation over the past few years:
March 2005:

September 2006:

September/October 2007:
Getty Images.Fast forward to exactly one year later: In September 2007, Marc is a brand new man. He has cut off his hair, slimmed down even more and added a bit of bling to his ears. He also has a new, more confident demeanor. To go with his new attitude, Marc begins wearing more fitted clothing—grunge be gone! This is also about the time that Marc checked into rehab for alcohol and substance abuse. A month later, Marc dyes his hair bright blue.
October 2008:
