Jacobs now wants to help those areas affected by Hurricane Katrina, so he created a limited-edition Marc by Marc Jacobs T-shirt, available exclusively at Bloomingdale's next week. The T-shirt features an illustration of a group of people on a sunny day in a park, holding hands while seemingly chanting the words "Bring It Back." The T will be pr iced at $30 and 100 percent of the pr oceeds will go to Habitat for Humanity and will help the rebuilding of areas affected by the hurricane.
