Quote

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.

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

I like to take on the thing I don't like at the moment. I like to find something that looks wrong or feels off, something that I would never have done in the past, like brocade. And then all of a sudden, if we can make brocade work, then we've really done something, because I hate it. And that's just a reference. I don't actually hate brocade.

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!

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.

Any opportunity to adorn oneself is human, and accessories are an easy way to do it.

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.

I do think that in order for a company to be interesting to the investment community, there needs to be a plan there needs to be a bigger retail footprint. There needs to be this idea - DNA, lifestyle, words I hate.

For so many years, I felt so insecure, so inferior, and I still have those moments, but I have a newfound confidence since I got in shape and changed my diet.

I always find beauty in things that are odd and imperfect - they are much more interesting.
Marc Jacobs
Image
I think it's an old fashioned notion that fashion needs to be exclusive to be fashionable.
Marc Jacobs

You can never please everyone, and I think it's best not to.
Marc Jacobs

Fashion is such a fairytale and it is such a fantasy. And it's about metamorphosis and sort of changing yourself and playing a part that you want people to see.

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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 said, 'Okay, it's the year 2000, I'm getting a computer and a Palm Pilot.' I know how to check my e-mail, and I've listed some phone numbers on it. Half the time the battery has gone out so I can't use it.

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.
