Juxtapoz friend Brian Bowen Smith is celebrating the release of his new book, Projects, tonight, April 26, at Bookmarc in West Los Angeles. Emmy Rossum is also celebrating, because she is the one with the name on the invite. We like here. We like Brian, too, and Projects spans his career of shooting celebrity portraits, from personal work to commissioned assignments done over the past ten years. Go check it out.

American fashion designer Marc Jacobs is taking his world-famous brand into the skate world with the debut of this limited edition deck. The deck features a seven-ply Canadian maple construction and retails at $69. Watch the introductory video below featuring 15-year-old skater Tristen Maldonado.

The fire extinguisher prankster who has been blasting the storefronts of many known high end fashion boutiques in frustration of a culture becoming commercialized, recently decorated the store front of Marc Jacobs with the word “art” in Soho, Ny.  In a crafty retaliation, Marc Jacobs printed the image of the storefront on a t-shirt and is now retailing them for $689, with a “Kidult signed” t-shirt being a little cheaper for the consumer, ouch.

Recently, graffiti writer Kidult tagged the front of the Marc Jacobs shop in downtown Manhattan and made it rather public, not only in the physical manifestation of the tag but also by tweeting it and publicizing it across the internet. Well, Marc Jacobs made a rather clever move in response to what could have been seen as an embarrassing incident.

Wednesday night was the book signing and celebration of Brian Bowen Smith's The Men and Women of Marc Jacobs at Bookmarc in Los Angeles.  Photos and more after the jump…
