Marc
Jacobs is
an American fashion designer, raised in New York. Following
his studies at the Parsons School of Design, he became prominent
on the fashion scene when he designed a "grunge" collection
for Perry Ellis, leading to his immediate dismissal. Jacobs
is currently the artistic director for Louis Vuitton, spearheading
such collaborations as Stephen Sprouse's graffiti bags and
Takashi Murakami's pastel-colored accessories. His own clothing
lines, Marc Jacobs and the less expensive
Marc By Marc Jacobs, are also extremely popular.
Marc Jacobs has been known to design under
his own free will without following trends. In Spring 2004/2005,
when designers were
following the "safari theme'", Marc Jacobs made his collection
completely lady-like and the catwalk which the models walked on had
an archway of 450,000 roses. For his fall collection in 2005, he got
some
terrible reviews and some fantastic ones. He is set to bring out a
watch collection ths year under the name Marc Jacobs. These watches
will be
classic and timeless features with a slightly vintage feel. His clothes
are available in many countries around the world. |
