The thing I most love and hate about fashion is that it changes all the time. But I don't think I or anyone else can singlehandedly get rid of hooker style. Popular taste isn't great by definition. It's just popular.

More quotes by Marc Jacobs
As far back as I can remember, I had an interest in fashion. I used to go to sleepaway camp, and they'd provide a list of things that you had to bring, and I always wanted to be a bit more creative than the list allowed. Like, if they required chinos, I wanted to hand-paint them.
Marc Jacobs
Awkwardness gives me great comfort.
Marc Jacobs
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
I always say that I'm not the director, I'm part of the team.
Marc Jacobs
When you see a fashion show, you see those seven minutes of what was six months of tedious work of, you know, going up an inch and down an inch, changing it from one shade of red to another shade of red. So it's the same as any creative process. The result is what we see, but the process is really labor intensive and work.
Marc Jacobs
Change is a great and horrible thing, and people love it or hate it at the same time. Without change, however, you just don't move.
Marc Jacobs
Any opportunity to adorn oneself is human, and accessories are an easy way to do it.
Marc Jacobs
Grunge is a hippied romantic version of punk.
Marc Jacobs
I never cared about buying things for myself, like clothes. And then all of a sudden I realized how great it is to be very precise about the shirts that I wear and all the things that are a part of my closet. So the ritual of fashion and shopping became very personal to me.
Marc Jacobs
It's sometimes said that I'm rebellious and I do things to push people's buttons, but I just like the challenge.
Marc Jacobs
I don't think there is ever a wrong time for a polka dot.
Marc Jacobs
It's quite nice to see that I didn't have to change who I was to reach two very different types of people.
Marc Jacobs
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.
Marc Jacobs
But in another, I think a woman's going to go into a shop to find a coat or a jacket and I just don't think she's not going to go into a shop because of a bad review she probably didn't even read.

I envy the people who go to Paris the first time
Marc Jacobs
Marc Jacobs is full of creative people and Louis Vuitton is again a name on the door, a name that has existed for many years but I'm a collaborator there and I bring in other people, other artists and I work with a great creative design team.
Marc Jacobs
I always find it kind of embarrassing, kind of funny, and kind of exciting. In New York I'm recognized a lot, although nobody says anything. You know, they stare at you just a second too long. But in Paris it's not as commonplace to be recognized.
Marc Jacobs
Luxury is about pleasing yourself, not dressing for other people
Marc Jacobs
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.
Marc Jacobs
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.
