"I spent the better part of yesterday listening to Marc Jacobs and Tyra Banks being interviewed in person as part of The New York Times &amp;quot;Sunday with the Magazine&amp;quot; series, and you better believe both larger-than-life personalities had some pretty enlightening things to say. Find out what they were, after the jump. 1. Marc Jacobs has no interest in the red carpet. &amp;quot;In the 90s, there were three stars and they were in every movie--you had Jodie Foster, Meryl Streep, and Glenn Close, and they all wore Armani,&amp;quot; he told T magazine editor Stefano Tonchi last night. &amp;quot;Now Kate Hudson goes to get a coffee and it&amp;#x27;s in 12 different magazines. The red carpet has become so much more important. I&amp;#x27;ve never actively pursued dressing a Hollywood star--I don&amp;#x27;t feel like I make red carpet clothes. It&amp;#x27;s just not my thing.&amp;quot; 2. The possibility of a plus-size season of America&amp;#x27;s Next Top Model is not out of the question. I nabbed a quick minute with Tyra after her interview and asked her if, on the heels of the upcoming &amp;quot;short season&amp;quot; (all of the model contestants will be under five feet seven), she&amp;#x27;d consider doing a plus-size one. &amp;quot;That would be fantastic,&amp;quot; she told me, &amp;quot;if only they would come out to the auditions! I don&amp;#x27;t think plus size girls know they could be on Top Model. We&amp;#x27;ve just gotta get them coming out to the auditions!&amp;quot; 3. &amp;quot;If you have five minutes free in New York, you&amp;#x27;re a failure. If you have five minutes free in Paris, you&amp;#x27;re a success.&amp;quot; So said Mr. Jacobs last night after having lived most of his life in the former city and most of the past decade in the latter. If you&amp;#x27;ve spent any time in either place, you know just how succinctly brilliant a statement this really is. 4. According to Tyra, black models have a harder time booking shows for the fall collections than for the spring. &amp;quot;Black girls don&amp;#x27;t look good in coats,&amp;quot; Tyra told the audience yesterday, though she booked a record 25 shows her first season in Paris. She said the collections involving wool and fur and cashmere were a much larger challenge for an African American model to book. &amp;quot;They love you in bathing suits, but not coats.&amp;quot; Are you guys surprised to read any of this new info from one of my favorite designers and favorite supermodels on the planet?
