"There was no off limits. It was just like come as you are and you get what you get and that's the way it's going to be. The documentary centers on the hectic weeks leading up to Jacobs' Spring 2024 runway show, but it also reflects on the designer's early beginnings prior to the fame and fortune, with throwback footage highlighting his days as a fashion neophyte following his graduation from Parsons School of Design in the 1980s."
"I just think the idea of transformation and creating this person that you want to be is part of human nature. The film goes from the vulnerable to the fantastical, finding Jacobs sharing personal details of how his grandmother was one of his early influences, juxtaposed to supermodel catwalks, while also capturing moments of deep introspection as the stress and pressure of creating luxurious garments mounts."
Marc Jacobs, a 62-year-old fashion designer with decades of influence spanning Perry Ellis, Louis Vuitton, and his eponymous brand, opens up in a new documentary by Oscar-winning filmmaker Sofia Coppola. The film captures intimate moments as Jacobs prepares his Spring 2024 runway collection, with no restrictions on what could be filmed. The documentary balances vulnerability with spectacle, featuring throwback footage from his Parsons School of Design graduation in the 1980s through his early collections, alongside supermodel catwalks. As creative pressure mounts, Jacobs reflects on transformation and personal identity. Once known as an "enfant terrible," he now inhabits a more peaceful phase of his career.
