Marc his works
Marc Jacobs was featured on Time
Magazine’s 100 most influential people’s list and has an
envious client list
Best known as the designer of Steve Jobs’ rimless eyeglasses, which became a sought- after item following Jobs’ death and sold out in stores around the world, American designer Marc Jacobs is on Time Magazine’s ‘2010 Time 100’ list of the 100 most influential people in the world. The mercurial designer who stuns and delights the fashion world, thanks to his knack for sizing up the zeitgeist and then one-upping it, Marc’s references are wide-ranging, always in flux, and often unlikely. His mystique is buoyed by the use of models like Charlotte Rampling, Dakota Fanning, Posh Spice etc. Beginning with clothes, the label presently has eyewear, fragrances, home, handbags and shoes. Among his clients are Sofia Coppola, Winona Ryder, Lil’ Kim, Kanye West, Kate Bosworth, Mischa
Barton and others.
