Quote

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.

Cigarettes and chocolate milk shakes are two amazing things.
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.

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.

The Louis Vuitton woman is more about a quality - a quality within some women that needs to come forward, to be noticed and recognised.

Art critics are like every other critic.
Marc Jacobs

I like to make things. I like making choices, choosing colours, evoking a spirit, a change.

Makeup is the finishing touch, the final accessory.

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

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.

I love my life. I can't believe I work in New York and Paris. That I work for Louis Vuitton. That I work for Marc Jacobs. It seems really weird every time I say my full name - like, that's me, and every time I hear the receptionist say my name, it's still weird.

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.

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.

I think it's an old fashioned notion that fashion needs to be exclusive to be fashionable.

Luxury is about pleasing yourself, not dressing for other people

I'm not good at hiding my feelings. I'm also not good at lying. I'm very open about everything.
Marc Jacobs
Image
I think when I started to get in shape and spend time at the gym, I could be better to other people and be better to myself and get back to loving fashion and experience it myself. I started to wear kilts and lace dresses.
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?

I've been openly gay since I can remember.
Marc Jacobs

I think scent is sensual. I guess evoking a mood or a spirit is key, and I think with the women's fragrances we have evoked different types, moods or sensibilities of a woman - whether it's Daisy with the sweetness and the innocence or Lola which is more provocative, sexy and sultry.

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.
