Designer Marathon: MARC JACOBS

Plucked from New York City’s Parsons School of Design in 1984 to start his own line, Marc Jacobs - today’s king of all that is downtown cool - has survived a lion’s share of ups and downs, and has managed to consistently land on his feet. Though he was unceremoniously fired by Perry Ellis in 1992 for his infamous grunge collection, he bounced back on top when the French house of Louis Vuitton appointed Marc Jacobs as Artistic Director in 1997. He successfully oversaw the house’s first foray into clothing design. He has since been producing the fashion industry’s most covetable creations, and as his long list of accomplishments grows, so does his adoring – and oftentimes high profile – fan club.
