Marc Jacobs Brings Back The Stam Bag—With A Little Help From Jessica!—Cara Delevingne Opens Up, And More!

Marc Jacobs reintroduces the Stam Bag

It was the status symbol bag of the aughts for both the uptown and downtown crowd, and almost 20 years later, it’s back for more. Today, Marc Jacobs reintroduced the Stam Bag. Originally named after ethereal Canadian model Jessica Stam who was omnipresent on the runways at the time of its launch in 2005, the arm candy was then retired in 2013. Its relaunch is the latest addition to the (M)Archives collection of instantly-recognizable accessories from the NYC-based brand. To reintroduce itself, the Stam is highlighted in a Harley Weir-lensed and Alastair McKimm-styled campaign which includes Stam, Paris Hilton, Selma Blair, Ashanti, and Ashlee Simpson. The bag will now be available in two sizes classic ($1495) and small ($995). Have you still got your OG?

Cara Delevingne gives honest interview about life and love as she covers Vogue’s April issue

Cara Delevigne is Vogue’s newest cover star, styled by Jorden Bickham and photographed by Annie Leibovitz. Inside the mag, the British model and actress opens up to Chioma Nnadi about saying goodbye to her partying days, rehab, her hopes for children one day, and mental health struggles. Calling last year’s viral paparazzi photos a “reality check” that she’s now “grateful for,” the 30-year-old thanks friends for being there for her while she began the road to recovery. “Before I was always into the quick fix of healing, going to a weeklong retreat or to a course for trauma, say, and that helped for a minute, but it didn’t ever really get to the nitty-gritty, the deeper stuff,” she said. “This time I realized that 12-step treatment was the best thing, and it was about not being ashamed of that. The community made a huge difference. The opposite of addiction is connection, and I really found that in 12-step.” She continued: “This process obviously has its ups and downs, but I’ve started realizing so much. People want my story to be this after-school special where I just say, ‘Oh look, I was an addict, and now I’m sober and that’s it.’ And it’s not as simple as that. It doesn’t happen overnight…. Of course I want things to be instant—I think this generation especially, we want things to happen quickly—but I’ve had to dig deeper.” Delevingne also opens up about having wanted to become a mom since the tender age of 16, and why she decided to freeze her eggs to future-proof that plan. “I’ve wanted a kid since I was 16. I want babies so bad. Back then I would not have been ready, of course—I just wanted to replace the need to look after my mom with a kid of my own.” Read the full feature here.
