Marc Jacobs (born April 9, 1963) is an American fashion designer. He is the head designer for his own fashion label, Marc Jacobs, and formerly Marc by Marc Jacobs, a diffusion line, which was produced for approximately 15 years having been discontinued after the 2015 fall/winter collection. At one point there were over 200 retail stores in 80 countries.
He was the creative director of the French design house Louis Vuitton from 1997 to 2014. Jacobs was on Time magazine's "2010 Time 100" list of the 100 most influential people in the world, and was #14 on Out magazine's 2012 list of "50 Most Powerful Gay Men and Women in America". He got married on 7 April 2019, to his long time boyfriend Charly Defrancesco.
Pharrell Williams never expected to become the men’s creative director of Louis Vuitton. It was announced in February that Williams was taking on the role after Virgil Abloh passed away on November 28, 2021.
In a new interview with GQ’s September Hype issue, Williams explained that the job offer came out of the blue while he was at his studio in Miami Beach last December.
Recalling how he heard from Louis Vuitton CEO Pietro Beccari, the hitmaker shared, “It wasn’t an interview or anything. “It was like, ‘Will you accept this position?
Will you accept this appointment?’ I’m looking at the water and I’m just like, ‘What?’” The singer insisted, “I never thought that it would be me,” with him expecting the choice to be Nigo, his longtime friend and collaborator who currently heads LVMH brand, Kenzo.
