Quote

I'd like to believe that the women who wear my clothes are not dressing for other people, that they're wearing what they like and what suits them. It's not a status thing.

I am really glad to be working at the profession that I love.
Marc Jacobs

It's so weird how scary it is at the beginning of rehab, and then you bond with the people, and it's really an amazing experience. It is impossible to do it on your own, and it's good to ask for help when we need it.

I envy the people who go to Paris the first time
Marc Jacobs
Image
I think of many people and no one as a muse. I love the way Sofia looks always, and I love the way Kim looks always. Fashion may be part of their world, but it's not their whole life. It's not everything.
Marc Jacobs
Image
I think it's an old fashioned notion that fashion needs to be exclusive to be fashionable.

When you design a dress you ask yourself, would woman like it or no. It's much more of a creative process, not a research or trying to make somethings that sells or appeals. I hope that it will appeal to somebody, but it isn't what drives me.

Design is a series of creative choices - it's a collaborative effort, an evolutionary process. You choose your fabrics depending upon what you want to say, then you work with mills to get those fabrics. Through the process, you realize what you want it to be.

I believe that anything can be for men or women. I mean, I've worn a lace dress before!

I used to buy good shoes, now I buy good bags. They make me feel more confident.
Marc Jacobs
Image
I'm a designer. I make clothes and bags and shoes. I have a job that involves making creative choices, but I'm not a divinely inspired human being like an artist!
Marc Jacobs
Image
I value very much the time before the show, when there is nothing else but to concentrate on the show, and it's just purely design.
Marc Jacobs
Image
When I was starting out, it seemed like there were so many girls who were known by their first names, who were unique, who all had idiosyncrasies and characteristics that made them individual. Those girls stuck around you'd work with them season after season. But now it's completely different.
Marc Jacobs
Image
Awkwardness gives me great comfort. I've never been cool, but I've felt cool. I've been in the cool place, but I wasn't really cool - I was trying to pass for hip or cool. It's the awkwardness that's nice.
Marc Jacobs
Image
It's funny because every time I go to a shoot, and I have clothes on, they inevitably come off. I just did one recently and the stylist was like, So... and you just know that they are going to get to the point where they say Can you take your clothes off?

For people that don't have any interest in the psychology of nuance, who need everything to be in their face, who don't want to analyze... those aren't the people I romanticize about dressing.
Marc Jacobs
Image
I like people who have a sense of individuality. I love expression and anything awkward and imperfect, because that’s natural and that’s real.
Marc Jacobs
Image
I always wanted to be a fashion designer so I just have to remember that as long as I'm doing it I'm living the dream.
Marc Jacobs
Image
I love attention, I'm very honest about it ... [but] if I wanna wear a pink dress or a lace dress or a kilt of whatever, it's like I'm not solely doing it for attention, I'm doing it first for myself because it gives me pleasure.

Grunge is a hippied romantic version of punk.

I still appreciate individuality. Style is much more interesting than fashion, really.
