Marc Jacobs
Marc Jacobs’ prophetic career began in 1986 when his vanguard independent collections garnered international acclaim. After a quick stint at Perry Ellis that ended with his notorious grunge collection, Jacobs continued to design for his personal label even after signing on as creative director of Louis Vuitton in 1997. His ability to capture the zeitgeist of a given moment three generations over has rocketed him to household-name status. Jacob’s culturally savvy acumen rings true in the brand’s eclectic menswear line: a smorgasbord of aesthetics from Bowie-esque corduroy flares and floral-pattern shirts to workwear-inspired denim jackets. With his signature zeal for panache and play, Marc Jacobs has transformed his namesake brand into a luxury empire encompassing runway, ready-to-wear, eyewear, shoes, fragrances, and more.
