Although the accompanying article by Glenn O'Brien draws comparisons between Jacobs and Warhol - the way they incorporate art into their businesses for example - Jacobs is quick to say: "I don't think of myself that way".

"Warhol is Warhol. He's practically a god. I thought, 'I'm going to get a lot of hell for this,'" Jacobs told WWD.

The cover image will also be printed on t-shirts ($35) and tote bags ($15), which will be on sale at the Marc Jacobs Bleecker Street store in New York from Thursday. All proceeds will go to the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh.
