Career

Jacobs, at the age of 21, designed his first collection for the brand Sketchbook for Reuben Thomas. For New Fashion Talent, he became the youngest designer to collect the Council of Fashion Designers of America Perry Ellis Award in 1987. After Perry Ellis closed its manufacturing operations in 1993 — and after Marc sent out tons of collection for the brand that critics loved, however, the company hated—Marc struck out on his own.

With Robert Duffy, his longtime business partner, he started his own company, with financial backing from his prior bosses. The brand Marc Jacobs soon proved to be a success.
