What does it mean for the future of the eponymous brand's designer?

John Targon&nbsp;of Baja East,&nbsp;an up and coming New York label, has just been hired at the new &quot;creative director of contemporary&quot; for&nbsp;Marc Jacobs (the label), according to&nbsp;Business of Fashion.

Starting 2nd February 2018, Targon will step into his role as &ldquo;creative director of contemporary,&rdquo; and is said to be bringing along his own team and might be causing layoffs within the Marc Jacobs design team.

Though there has been no official&nbsp;announcement of Jacobs leaving his eponymous label, this news comes after rumours swirled last summer about the designer&rsquo;s discontent with the appointed executive director Sebastien Suhl, who was responsible for restructuring the company.

One does wonder, what will Marc&#39;s next step be?

So far, there are also no words on who will helm the creation of its ready-to-wear collection. However, it is said that John&#39;s hire&nbsp;is made to mark the revamp of a product category that falls at a lower price point.

John is not expected to be leaving Baja East, and will still be presenting a Fall 2018 collection, just not with the official NYFW calendar.
