Rumors alleged the designer spitefully delayed the start of his NYFW 2019 show to make attendees late for Rihanna's Savage x Fenty lingerie presentation, which was slated immediately after his. Spectators claimed this delay was unheard of for the notoriously punctual runway pro. The reason for the alleged shade? Reports claimed it was because he'd lost the 7:30 p.m. slot, which had become his coveted spot for several seasons, to Rihanna.
Taking to Instagram, Marc put the rumors to rest, writing, "I sincerely apologize to anyone and everyone who was inconvenienced by my lateness at our Spring/Summer 2019 fashion show. For anyone interested, below is not a list of excuses but rather a list of facts. I fully understand people have plans, lives, commitments, flights, families to return to, etc and that I fully RESPECT."
