Marc Jacobs spoke French Institute Alliance Française last night. He talked about his the history of his brand, and his design aesthetic with Deputy Director of the Museum at FIT, Patricia Mears.
The conversation covered all the Marc Jacobs basics: his first sweater collection out of Parsons, his partnership with Robert Duffy, his busy lifestyle, but there were some new bits of information that even the most astute Marc buffs probably don’t know. Like:
He’s only worn jeans three times in the past two years.
Speaking of pants, Marc’s famous kilt was the result of a bad mood in the office. He was feeling uninspired and told his assistant Casey to go to Barneys and buy him a pair of funny pants to cheer him up. Thus the Comme des Garçons kilt streak commenced.
While at Perry Ellis he hired his best friend from Parsons, Tracy Reese, and other Parsons grad Tom Ford to design for the label. Tom and Marc together is every American’s dream, right?
The greatest American designer according to Marc? Ralph Lauren.
But Yves Saint Laurent’s his design hero.
