Marc Jacobs gets the kilt bug

I was skimming through the Spring 2009 menswear collections, and spotted this:

The designer Marc Jacobs, taking his bow at the end of one of his shows. There were no other kilts in this collection.

To see if I could find out if there was any buzz about it, I found these comments from Mr. Jacobs, himself:

Are you having a plaid moment?
No, just today.

You've worn kilts for your bow at both collections.
Yeah, all month.

Why?
I was told August was kilt month so I'm just following the rules. No. They're comfortable. It's not really a kilt. It's kind of like a short and a kilt.

Are you going to bring them back?
No, I was just recently fascinated by the whole men-in-skirts controversy of the nineties. No. I got one and I started wearing it and it made me happy, so I bought more. And now I just can't stop wearing them.

Yes, Marc, we know the feeling. But we're not sure about the skort thing.

Here he is in two other kilts, taking a bow after his women's show (I think), and escorting Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham:
