Marc Jacobs. Unseen

In 1993, Marc Jacobs made a lasting impact on fashion history with his infamous "grunge" collection for Perry Ellis, earning him the title of "the dauphin of grungy, understated cool" by American Vogue. His influence grew rapidly, establishing him as a leading designer of his era, both through his own brand and during his tenure as the creative director of Louis Vuitton from 1998 to 2014.Jacobs became renowned for his collaborations with notable artists, musicians, and muses, including Stephen Sprouse, Sonic Youth, Debbie Harry, Sofia Coppola, and Chloe Sevigny. According to fashion historian Valerie Steele, Jacobs "changed what it means to be a fashion designer, just as once upon a time Andy Warhol changed what it meant to be an artist." The book "Marc Jacobs: Unseen" begins with an essay on his work and unfolds in chronological order, revisiting his most memorable designs and showcasing never-before-seen behind-the-scenes moments with models, hairdressers, stylists, make-up artists, and Jacobs himself in their creative element. Robert Fairer's vibrant photographs capture the energy, elegance, and youthful spirit that epitomized Jacobs's fashion shows.
