"  Jennifer Ridgley describes her style as &amp;quot;quirky.&amp;quot; So when the 19-year-old cancer patient was granted a wish from the Kids Wish Network, she knew instantly what she would request \u2014 a meeting with her favorite fashion designer, Marc Jacobs. Ridgley, who is currently undergoing radiation treatments for Hodgkin&amp;#039;s lymphoma, likes the intricate features of the Marc by Marc Jacobs collection, ranging from mismatched hemlines to exposed zippers. &amp;quot;Those details add a fun edginess, which I love,&amp;quot; she says.  Jacobs&amp;#039; attention to detail has paid off \u2014 he was recently announced as the womenswear designer of the year by the CFDA for 2010. Jacobs is also the creative director for Louis Vuitton, balancing his own line with designs for the iconic fashion house.  After a jam-packed day complete with a haircut at Bergdorf Goodman&amp;#039;s salon and a shopping spree at The Guess Store, Ridgley met Jacobs at his Spring Street studio. There they toured the showroom and watched a recording of the designer&amp;#039;s Fall 2010 runway show \u2014 a muted array of soft knits and pastel dresses accompanied by a symphonic soundtrack of Somewhere Over the Rainbow.  With only three days in New York City, Ridgley also took in sights like the Statue of Liberty and Rockefeller Center, but says her favorite part was meeting Marc Jacobs. &amp;quot;I can&amp;#039;t even put into words how incredible it was,&amp;quot; she says. Ridgely even took home a few Marc by Marc Jacobs items \u2014 adding more quirk to her closet. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
