Marc Jacobs is one of the two famous faces who appear in the three teaser videos posted on the fashion house’s Instagram page on Tuesday.
In the black-and-white videos, Jacobs, wearing his hair slicked back and sporting a floral tie-neck blouse, is seen facing British actress Charlotte Rampling, who’s dressed in an elaborately embroidered dress.

In one of the videos, the duo play a game of tongue twisters, repeating each other’s names, switching orders, mixing first and last names, until the result becomes garbled nonsense: the fashion designer ends up blurting out “lamb chops” instead of “Jacobs.”
In another, Rampling slaps Jacobs, who is miming an argument while repeating “I am Charlotte Rampling” in various tones of annoyance. The effect is of a method acting class gone wrong.
