Want a sleek all American look beyond the ever-popular, yet ubiquitous, Coach designsThen Marc Jacobs is the designer for you! Marc has been in the designing game since the 1980s. Marc jump started his fashion career by attending the famous Parsons School of Design (we have all seen it, courtesy of Project Runway). After he left Parsons he went to on to work at Perry Ellis. There the infamous Grunge debacle happened. Marc designed what is now an iconic collection of grunge wear. Everyone loved it, except the head guys at Perry Ellis. He was quickly dismissed.
But all was not lost for Marc. Marc and his business Robert Duffy obviously had the talent but they needed money. That is where the brand Louis Vuitton came to the rescue. Marc was allowed to design for the company and they put up the money for Marc Jacobs the label. Behind the scenes Marc wasn't always happy with the business partnership. But it has never shown in his wonderful designs.
These days Mr. Jacobs is one of the most popular fashion designers in the world. His clothes and handbags are a popular item for classic tastes and for fun retro tastes. Marc uses super colorful pallets with plenty of pockets and occasional overlapping and layering.
