Who is Marc Jacobs the person?

Marc Jacobs is an American fashion designer known for translating youth subcultures, music, street style, and other elements of popular culture into luxury fashion. He first attracted widespread attention with his spring 1993 grunge collection for Perry Ellis, bringing the layered, deliberately disheveled look associated with the Pacific Northwest music scene to the runway. Jacobs later extended his influence through his own label and during his tenure as creative director of Louis Vuitton from 1997 to 2013.
