Fashion Facts

Random Fashion Fact: did you know that Marc Jacobs works in two continents? In his hometown, NYC, he works for himself, in Paris for Louis Vuitton. His look for both labels changes with every collection, yet it clearly shows the signature of its creator.

Jacobs grew up with his grandmother who taught him how to knit. In 1993, he was promptly ‘let go’ as chief designer from his current employer, Perry Ellis because of their inability to sell a single piece from his collection. It was then that he began to focus on his own label and was appointed Vuitton’s new creative director. At LV (with Jacobs), total revenue rose in less than ten years from 940 million to 2.7 billion euros.

….and what’s Perry Ellis doing these days? Ha!
