London, July 21
Fashion designer Marc Jacobs, who recently lent support to gay rights and US President Barack Obama's re-election campaign, says it could be a bad idea to mix fashion and politics.
"I guess with politics and fashion, you've always got to be a bit careful because somebody's going to get offended or somebody's going to feel it is not right," femalefirst.co.uk quoted the 49-year-old as saying.
"I don't want to sound stupid or ignorant or anything, but I spend my time in the studio choosing fabric and colours and trying to figure out what we're going to make. If you want to avoid controversy, you just don't do political things like that," he added.
Marc Jacobs is currently the creative director for luxury brand Louis Vuitton.
