Marc Jacobs. Style you can buy
“At my own shows, I feel like I’m in a movie, as if an invisible ‘I’ is watching the ordinary ‘me,’ the applauding crowd, the models... I can’t believe all of this, and every time, feeling joy, I ask myself - what have I done in life to deserve this?”

The history of the Marc Jacobs USA brand
No matter what Marc Jacobs means to you — bags, glasses, perfume, a brand, or the former chief creative director of Louis Vuitton. What matters is that you definitely know about him.
This man's path and the history of his brand began in 1963 in Manhattan, the heart of New York. Marc learned his first skills from the grandmother who raised him. From her he learned to knit and inherited her interest in beautiful things.
Jacobs's interest in fashion and beauty was not fleeting, so when he had to choose a place to work, Marc got a job at the fashionable clothing store Charivari and threw himself headlong into communicating with designers.
Soon Jacobs enrolled at the Parsons School of Design in New York to become a fashion designer himself. Marc's first distinction was the French “Golden Thimble” in 1984.

The Beginning of a Career
Jacobs' first truly original undertaking was the collection of original knitted sweaters “The Sketchbook label, Reuben Thomas, Inc”, which received a very warm response from the audience.
That same year, in 1984, together with Robert Duffy they created the company Jacobs Duffy Designs Inc., and in 1996 his first women's collection appeared, receiving an award from the Council of Fasion Designers of America. Jacobs and Duffy make it into the pages of glossy fashion magazines; buyers and major brands take an interest in them.
In 1989, Marc and Robert are invited to Perry Ellis. Robert is offered the position of president, and Marc becomes creative director. At that time, he was fascinated by surfers and the country spirit. But three years later, inspired by the style of Nirvana, the partners release a grunge collection that captured the attention of the public and journalists. Perry Ellis executives decide that such an approach is too extravagant for them and dismiss Jacobs.
Despite the dismissal, Marc once again received the “Designer of the Year” award from the Council of Fasion Designers of America. He works on his own brand, releases the legendary “Falling Stars” collection, and soon makes his debut in menswear.
In 1996, Marc was hired as lead creative director of Louis Vuitton, with the company agreeing to his condition of support from the LVMH holding for the development of the Marc Jacobs brand.
The first Marc Jacobs store and new look accessories
With the money received from Bernard Arnault, Jacobs opens the Marc Jacobs boutique on Mercer Street and organizes several shows. At the same time, Marc is working on the Louis Vuitton ready-to-wear collection, opposite in spirit to his signature creations, which reveal entirely different facets of his design talent.
Marc Jacobs items are, in a way, a rebellion against fashion bon ton. Street styles, music bands and tracks, cultural layers, and close attention to the colors used make every brand item special.
By the middle of the 2000s, the brand already owned 60 boutiques around the world. The Jacobs name graces six exclusive perfumes, clutches. And Marc Jacobs bags and backpacks gather no fewer fans than Louis Vuitton creations.
However, Jacobs is not limited to either clothing or perfumes. At one time, school supplies, surfboards, gadget cases, men's loafers, and watches were produced under his brand.
Since 2013, the main focus of Jacobs, who left Louis Vuitton, has been concentrated on his “namesake” brand, which makes his creations even more interesting.
Marc Jacobs Bags
We would start with Tote Bag, MJ signature-style leather mini travel bags for $16 (1200 rubles) or Colorbox Sofbox for $17 (1300 rubles). Another “bag” favorite is the mesh bag with a removable shoulder strap, handles, and everything else for $10 (800 rubles).
The combination of a clutch and a wallet is interesting, for example this charming zip wallet for $6 (500 rubles), in a single color and style.
Marc Jacobs Clothing
Moving away from bags, we recommend taking a look at trench coats, for example this leopard oversized denim beauty. Price $30 (2500 rubles).
Among the dresses, we recommend “Little Black Dress” for $17 (1300 rubles). This season, Jacobs offers a model with a stand collar in wide-wale corduroy with lace trim at the hem and embroidery on the back.
Or Tent dress for $15 (1200 rubles) — an elegant A-line mini dress with short sleeves made of cotton poplin.
MC Cosmetics
Marc Jacobs cosmetics are limited to a small but very high-quality selection of products for the face, lips, and eyes.
The cosmetics section is crowned with branded fragrances, for example DAISY EAU DE TOILETTE with notes of wild strawberry, velvety violet petals, and a final fragrance of gardenia and jasmine, highlighted by birch and cedar accents
DAISY LOVE with radiant and refined floral notes, the fresh wave of fragrance DAISY EAU SO FRESH, the original DAISY DREAM EAU DE TOILETTE with an opening note of blackberry and fresh grapefruit with juicy pear and a feminine blend of jasmine flowers, lychee, and blue wisteria on a lasting base of white woods, musk, and coconut water.
The perfume ensemble is rounded out by the women’s classic fragrance WOMAN CLASSIC EAU DE PARFUM with a gardenia opening and a main theme of jasmine, honeysuckle, and white pepper on a base of musk and the restrainedly luxurious men’s fragrance MARC JACOBS
MEN EAU DE TOILETTE with top notes of warm spices: bergamot, caraway, cardamom ginger with a hint of cypress, a heart of a mix of fig leaves, rose, cyclamen, and “watery” notes on a base of patchouli, tonka beans, moss, and cedar.
