Marc Jacobs Is Moving Forward
The iconic designer is known for his collaborations with famous celebrities such as: Kate Moss, Miley Cyrus, Jessica Lange, Eva Mendes, Kendall Jenner, Victoria Beckham, Heidi Klum, and Naomi Campbell.
The 54-year-old designer made headlines in 2014 after he announced that was leaving his position as creative director for Louis Vuitton to focus on his own clothing line. Jacobs was the creative director for Louis Vuitton for 17 years. Following this, for his Autumn/Winter 2014 and Spring/Summer 2015 campaign, Jacobs found his models on social media, something he had never done before.
In 2017, Jacobs released an online masterclass that detailed his career and knowledge of the fashion industry. Now, the fashion design is the CEO of his own label, Marc Jacobs, and the diffusion line, Marc by Marc Jacobs.
