More than a character
Marc Jacobs is one of the most prominent names in the international fashion industry.
In recent days, social media has fallen at his feet, specialized magazines have followed suit, and his name has made headlines around the world. Marc Jacobs has done it again, the designer attracting attention with his recent Spring-Summer 2025 collection at New York Fashion Week.
The designer presented a series of completely extravagant and experimental silhouettes at the Big Apple Public Library, reinterpreting 18th-century garments from a modern perspective. Among the most talked-about pieces was his footwear line: shoes with clear medieval references (extremely long toes, like those worn by nobles of the time) and ankle boots that seem to emerge from a futuristic yet playful ode.
This adds to the guest list, which includes celebrities like J Balvin and Valentina Ferrer, among others, who also received endless press releases.
And so, it seems that Marc Jacobs's every move is synonymous with noise, movement, and mass attention. Today, beyond his media persona, we highlight some of the aspects that make him a renowned figure in the industry.
Beginnings and growth
Born in New York in 1963, Marc Jacobs graduated from the renowned Parsons School of Design and became, according to his official biography, the youngest designer to receive the CFDA's Perry Ellis Award for emerging talent in the fashion world.
Since the early 1990s, she has spearheaded several successful launches, with bold designs and collaborations, in the worlds of fashion, leather goods, perfumery, and even cosmetics.
Three decades
For 16 years, the designer dedicated a good part of his life and creative passion to the French brand Louis Vuitton. The luxury brand maintained its essence, but also underwent a metamorphosis that ultimately modernized it and resonated with lovers of exclusivity. Yes, contemporary flair, innovation, but also legacy.
Homonymous firms
The designer never abandoned his own work since the 1990s. By 1995, his first menswear collection had hit the shelves, leading models of the era walked the runway for the brand, and as the new millennium dawned, the artist's casual side arrived at the Marc by Marc Jacobs label , even entering the children's market with Little Marc Jacobs.
