Jason Preston, Marc Jacobs' on-again-off-again-boyfriend, likes to set the record straight when gossip blogs screw up the facts. After a Gawker tipster described a sighting of Preston carrying "loads of heavy shit" and wearing "combat boots," Gawker reports that Preston left a voicemail describing his outfit in detail to clear up any notions that he carries his own luggage or wears common combat boots. Meanwhile, Marc Jacobs was spotted in L.A. with his new rebound boy toy. [Gawker]

The Rage of the Sweater-Folder

The quality of customer service isn't necessarily proportional to the price tag, or the thread count, as the Luxury Institute determined in a recent study. Bloomberg News identifies Fendi and Hugo Boss as the luxury retailers with the worst customer service, and shines a spotlight on a recent incident of bangle-snatching by a shop assistant at a Paris Louis Vuitton store (they are now "beefing up staff and training to prevent a loss of customers").

Among the luxury brands providing the best experience for consumers are Hermes, Giorgio Armani, and Ferragamo.
