Product Description

A chic volume devoted to the career of one of the brightest, most successful and imitated international designers.

In a 20-year career, Marc Jacobs has soared from whiz-kid extraordinaire and the toast of New York s Parsons School of Design to one of the brightest, most successful, and most imitated international designers of our time. His is a story of passion, dogged determination, countless obstacles, and a firm belief in style as a major cultural barometer. But most of all, his is a story of fashion s limitless potential to delight. The ultimate hip designer, Marc Jacobs has achieved that status not via expressions of angst or outrage but by celebrating fashion as a mirror on life s gleeful ironies. He finds charm in awkwardness as well as glamour and inspiration in bad girls, good girls, and all-out geeks. This book is a wonderful soiree to which everyone is invited.

Review
If there were a course on everything Marc Jacobs, this slim volume would serve as your Cliffs Notes. The book offers a snappy overview of the designer's career, plus gorgeous photos of fashion highlights...It's so engrossing, there's no excuse not to get an A. --Teen Vogue

Customer Reviews

Adorable book to ad to your collection...
This small, adorable book has about a 16 page mini-bio about Marc Jacobs. It takes you through his good times as well as rough. From his time at Perry Ellis to launching MARC JACOBS. And as you start the book great personal candids are showcased. As well as behind-the-scenes shots of his shows, to photographs of his earlier work. A lot of candids of famous friends such as Kate Moss, Sofia Coppola, Zoe Cassavetes, and his partnership with Robert Duffy. Although I would have loved his collection of great Ad Campaigns which I love seeing it's something great to add to your personal library. And if you're like me and can't afford his faboulous clothes you can certainly afford this book and show it off to all your friends.

A Great buy for anyone who loves fashion and anyone who loves Marc Jacobs.

Marc Jacobs by Bridget Foley

A disappointing, fluffy book that fails to go into any kind of depth about the designer. On a surface, introductory level it is sufficient. But Jacobs has far more to him than what this book offers. I'll hold my breath and wait until something with greater coverage and depth comes out about this brilliant designer.

not enough information
Though it is a cute book, not nearly enough information about the designer. Marc Jacobs has been around for many years and this book does not cover most of his work and I was very disappointed.
