narc-jacobs-lookbook-v1

This was an older project that I had created back in 2016. I wanted to create a funny, satirical take on the terrible clothing that undercovers cops used to don back when being plain clothes was a thing. They obviously looked ridiculous and obviously like cops trying to blend in. The Narc Jacobs was just meme-ing on Marc Jacobs, stealing the branding and repurposing it. It also was a subtle jab at fashion for its sometimes ridiculous and ironic use of subcultures that are out of taste. I never released it because of the wave of violence surrounding police brutality and something about it afterward made me hesitant. But I think today its interesting to release because one, we need more satire in the world, two, it is a funny idea to execute, and three, it just was fun to put together in one day and just execute. Hoping to have more projects like this happening in 2k24 and beyond
