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
Sometimes there are two very opposite directions, and we go with the stronger one at the end. It's an impulse thing, like, 'Oh, I love both so much, but it's got to be one or the other because the two don't work together.'
Marc Jacobs
Image
Part of the talent of any company is to surround yourself with people who have good spirit and help you do more and more things.
Marc Jacobs
Image
I'd like to be invisible. To be anonymous and see things for what they really are. The truth may be painful but it's probably useful!
Marc Jacobs
Image
What's worked for me is not quitting and being passionate about what I do and not giving up - and when I don't believe in myself, turning to others who believe in me.
Marc Jacobs

I can remember years ago, when Kate Moss first came around and there were so many articles. Everyone was saying that it was heroin chic - that she was a waif, that she was anorexic. But Kate would eat just as much as anybody I knew - the media had just turned her into this thing. It must be really, really hard when you're the object of that.

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.
Marc Jacobs
Image
I don't think, 'Gee, I'd like to dress this person.' There was a picture in Us magazine. It was a jersey dress, and Courtney Love was wearing it. I have this thing about Courtney Love, this funny worship.

You don`t have the same reaction to a girl walking around the street today in a nightgown and a vintage coat and sneakers, that you did six years ago.

Anyone who thinks designers don't talk to editors, and editors don't talk to stores doesn't know what's happening...It's called crossover, sampling all references in music, art and fashion.
Marc Jacobs
Image
I think beauty is youth it's energy. I'm attracted to imperfection, style, confidence, and experimentation. So beauty, to me, is really a lot of things. It's kind of unexpected-what surprises you.
Marc Jacobs
Image
The red carpet doesn't interest me. I think people become all the same it's like everyone posing from the three-quarter angle in some low-cut, fitted dress it's all the same.

You can go to Graff and buy a diamond that's flawless. You aren't going to be able to buy the same diamond at Fortunoff, but it's still a diamond you can enjoy. If fashion can allow you to have the Chanel mystique through a lipstick, then why shouldn't art allow you to have that through a sweatshirt that says 'Cremaster' on it?

Fashion is just something money can buy. People who are stylish are free and have no fear in staying true to themselves. Plus, style is infinitely more interesting.

Awkwardness gives me great comfort.

I have no problem going on record with this and probably have gone on record with this before, there aren't that many people who I respect. There just aren't.
Marc Jacobs
Image
One thing that is exciting about fashion is the surprise element. People don't know what they want. They just know when they see it.
Marc Jacobs
Image
We live in a world where people are really hungry for information, and they're not hungry for information on subjects that they're not interested in.
Marc Jacobs
Image
I don’t throw cell phones. I don’t hurt people, I only hurt myself.

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.
