MARC JACOBS WITH ANDY WARHOL’S INTERVIEW

Marc Jacobs is a man that has perfected his craft and continues to do so, while in this sit-down with German Interview the designer describes his concept of perfection as an unattainable ideal. A wide array of topics include the designers views on art and where fashion intersects, an idea that interested Warhol during the entirety of his career. With the supreme confidence only Jacobs could project, jokes about being a “fat heroin addict,” addiction to cigarettes affecting his ability to run, and the necessity of closing one eye to release clothing of which you might not be the proudest show the charisma and cleverness of one of fashion’s all time biggest icons.

MARC JACOBS VS. KIDULT

Last week marked the first notable response from a company being attacked by a graffiti artist in a clever way, and who better to do it than Marc Jacobs? After having tagged stores like Supreme in New York and YSL, KID set his sights on Marc Jacobs’ store in SoHo and smacked it with his signature, giant ‘ART’ tag. The purpose of these tags is to give the companies - each of whom have used graffiti in their marketing in one way or another - a taste of what graffiti culture feels like.

But Marc Jacobs didn’t sit back and take it like the other stores did; instead, he shot back by releasing a shirt documenting the ordeal with a photograph mocking that from Kidult’s site. The kicker - he is actually selling the shirt for $689 or signed by the artist for $680, with a tagline reading “ART BY ART JACOBS.”

Kidult’s response was a simple one, which has gotten him some flak for his lack of originality: he posted an almost identical shirt for 6euro and 89 cents on his site with the tagline “NOT ART BY KIDULT.” Who do you think is making their statement in a stronger way?

MARC JACOBS X YAYOI KUSAMA COLLABORATION VIDEO

Working with iconic and revolutionary artists is something on which Marc Jacobs has been keen since starting in the fashion business and especially since taking up his position in the French clothing brand Louis Vuitton since the late 90s.

Working with filmmaker, painter, sculptor, designer, poet, and writer Yayoi Kusama brings a high art curiosity for pattern and repetition to an audience that will certainly appreciate it, and Jacobs takes a minute of his time to explain what entrances him about the creative soul of the Japanese legend in art.
