El tema del trabajo era libre, pero cómo en el libro de inglés salía un texto de la (maravillosa) diseñadora Stella McCartney y María, mi profe de inglés, sabe que siento perdición por la moda y todo lo relacionado, me ha pedido que haga el trabajo sobre uno que a mi más me guste y como siento perdición por Marc Jacobs (entre otros muchos) pero he decidio hacerlo de él. Aquí va, cómo no una reseña de Wikipédia:
...Translation...
For me the international thing not to do and also do not know what to post, I happened to me bilingualism. I hang here the work of English and, incidentally, kill two birds with one stone: first do a blog post and above in English that is a great achievement. I apologize for advance how bad it will the entry in English will try correct this, and by you hang the first entry in English, I do hope this is not the last.
The theme of the work was free, but how in the English book out a text of the (wonderful) fashion designer Stella McCartney and María, my English teach, know I feel doom for fashion and everything related, has asked me do a theme on one that I like and my downfall Marc Jacobs (among many others) but I decided do it of he. And know an information of Wikipèdia:
De camino a hacer de jurado, siempre con su Birkin en mano
Marc Jacobs es un diseñador de moda norteamericano nacido en Nueva York, el 9 de abril de 1963.
Trayectoria profesional
La primera colección que el diseñador sacó bajo la firma Marc Jacobs salió en 1986, gracias al apoyo económico de Kashiyama USA Inc. En 1987, Jacobs se convirtió en el diseñador más joven jamás galardonado con el premio Perry Ellis Award for New Fashion Talent del Consejo Americano de Diseñadores de Moda (CFDA). En 1989, Robert Duffy y Marc Jacobs se unieron a la compañía de Ellis para ocuparse de su línea femenina. Jacobs perdió el cargo en 1992, tras crear una colección de inspiración grunge que suscitó una gran polémica. Curiosamente, ese mismo año, fue premiado con el más prestigioso galardón del CFDA: el Women’s Designer of the Year Award.
En 1994, coincidiendo con su 31 aniversario, Jacobs presentó su primera colección ready-to-wear en Nueva York creando, de nuevo, un gran revuelo cuando modelos de la talla y caché de Naomi Campbell o Linda Evangelista aparecieron en la pasarela sin cobrar, en señal de apoyo al diseñador. La colección tuvo una gran acogida y, desde entonces, la carrera de Jacobs ha ido a más. En 1995 presentó su primera colección masculina y, en 1997, fue nombrado director artístico de la casa Louis Vuitton para quien diseñó su primera colección ready-to-wear. Desde su cargo, ha impulsado notables colaboraciones como con Stephen Sprouse o con el artista japonés Takashi Murakami, modernizando la marca y adaptándola al nuevo milenio. Sigue ocupándose, además, de la firma que lleva su nombre.

Su Compañía: Marc Jacobs Internacional Company, L.P.
En 1993, Jacobs Duffy Designs Inc. lanzó Marc Jacobs Internacional Company, L.P. que, en 1994, firmó su primer acuerdo internacional con Renown Look, Inc. y Mitsubishi Corp., para comercializar la marca en Japón. Poco después, un acuerdo con la compañía italiana Iris S.R.L. aseguraría la producción del calzado, tanto masculino como femenino, de la marca. En 1997, la primera tienda de Marc Jacobs abrió sus puertas en el número 163 de Mercer Street, en el Soho neoyorquino. En el año 2000 salió a la luz su primera línea de bolsos y se inauguró una segunda boutique en San Francisco. En el 2001, se creó la segunda línea de la marca, Marc by Marc Jacobs, de precios más asequibles. Calza Turificio Rossi Moda S.P.A. es la compañía italiana responsable de producir el calzado de esta joven y exitosa marca. Ese mismo año, nació su primera fragancia: Marc Jacobs Perfume, y al año siguiente, apareció la versión masculina. En el 2003, apareció una pequeña línea de textil para el hogar y, en el 2005, la primera colección eyewear, gracias a un acuerdo firmado con la compañía Safilo S.P.A. También en el 2005, tras un pacto con Fossil Inc., apareció su primera línea de relojes y Marc Jacobs abrió tienda en París.
Actualmente, pueden encontrarse boutiques de Marc Jacobs por todo el mundo. La compañía comercializa una amplia gama de productos, desde bolsos y zapatos hasta gafas y perfumes, bajo distintas marcas: Marc Jacobs, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Little Marc, para los niños, y Stinky Rat.

Marc Jacobs (born April 9, 1963) is an American fashion designer and the head designer for Marc Jacobs, as well as the diffusion line Marc by Marc Jacobs. Jacobs is currently the Creative Director of the French design house Louis Vuitton.
Life and career
Jacobs was born in New York City[1] to a Jewish family. He attended the The New School, studying at the university's art and design division, Parsons The New School for Design.[2] He lived in Teaneck, New Jersey with his mother, sister and younger brother, and attended Teaneck High School but also attended and graduated from the New York High School of Art and Design.[3] At fifteen, Jacobs worked as a stockboy at Charivari, an avant-garde clothing boutique in New York City[4]. From there, Jacobs entered The New School in New York City. During his tenure at Parsons, Jacobs won the Perry Ellis Gold Thimble Award in 1984 and in the same year was also awarded the Chester Weinberg Gold Thimble Award and the Design Student of the Year Award.
While still at Parsons, Jacobs designed and sold his first line of hand-knit sweaters. He designed his first collection for Reuben Thomas, Inc., under the Sketchbook label. Following his studies at Parsons, Jacobs began to design at Perry Ellis after its founder had died. Jacobs became prominent on the fashion scene when he designed a "grunge" collection for Perry Ellis, leading to his dismissal in 1993.[citation needed] With Robert Duffy, Jacobs formed Jacobs Duffy Designs Inc., which continues to this day. In 1986, backed by Onward Kashiyama USA, Inc., Jacobs designed his first collection bearing the Marc Jacobs label. In 1987 Jacobs was the youngest designer to have ever been awarded the fashion industry's highest tribute, The Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) Perry Ellis Award for New Fashion Talent.[citation needed]
Jacobs and Duffy joined the women's design unit of Tristan Russo in 1989 as Vice President and President, respectively. In addition, Jacobs oversaw the design of the various women's licensees. In 1992, the Council of Fashion Designers of America, once again bestowed Jacobs with a great honor: The Women's Designer of the Year Award. In 1994 he produced his first full collection of menswear.
Jacobs is a prominent fixture in the New York City celebrity scene, having become something of a celebrity himself. The audience for his fashion shows typically includes celebrities like Kim Gordon and Vincent Gallo[5]. Most of his collections make references to the fashions of past decades from the forties to the eighties. Disputing the claim by the designer Oscar de la Renta that Jacobs is a mere copyist, The New York Times critic Guy Trebay has written "unlike the many brand-name designers who promote the illusion that their output results from a single prodigious creativity, Mr. Jacobs makes no pretense that fashion emerges full blown from the head of one solitary genius"[6]. Explaining his clothes, Jacobs has said "what I prefer is that even if someone feels hedonistic, they don't look it. Curiosity about sex is much more interesting to me than domination. ... My clothes are not hot. Never. Never."[7].
In May 2009, Jacobs hosted the 'Model and Muse' themed Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Gala in New York with Kate Moss.
In April 2010, Marc Jacobs was chosen to be among the Time 100 most influential people in the world[8]
Louis Vuitton
In 1997, Jacobs was appointed Creative Director of luxury French fashion house, Louis Vuitton, where he created the company's first ready-to-wear line[9].
Jacobs has collaborated with many popular artists for his Louis Vuitton collections. Vuitton has worked in conjunction with Stephen Sprouse, Takashi Murakami and most recently American artist Richard Prince and rapper Kanye West.
As of 2010, Jacobs remains the Creative Director for Louis Vuitton.

Company
In recent years, the Marc Jacobs brand has increased the number of boutiques and direct point of service locations. This is evident in the signature list of cities featured in the company's print advertisements (although such adverts do not provide an entirely accurate or exhaustive survey of the brand's retail operations). Some of these branded showrooms present only a certain portion of the company's several brands (The Marc Jacobs Collection, Marc by Marc Jacobs, and Little Marc, a children's line) . A number of branded boutiques, for instance, feature only the Marc by Marc Jacobs product line.[citation needed] As of May 2008, Marc Jacobs boutiques in the United States include multiple locations in New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, as well as shops in Boston, Bal Harbour, Las Vegas, Guam, Chicago, Savannah, and Provincetown, Massachusetts. Worldwide, other such stand-alone stores are found in Europe (Paris, London, Madrid, Copenhagen and Moscow), the Middle East (Beirut, Riyadh, Dubai, Kuwait, and Doha), across Japan (multiple locations in Tokyo and Osaka, as well as Kyoto, Kobe, Nagoya, Sendai, Shizuoka, Nagano, Chiba, Matsuyama, and Tottori), Korea (multiple locations in Seoul) and elsewhere in Asia (multiple locations in Hong Kong and Taipei, as well as Shanghai, Beijing, Chengdu, Guangzhou, Manila, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Jakarta, and Bangkok). The various ready-to-wear and accessory collections are also widely available at leading department stores around the globe.
In February 2008, Jacobs was accused of plagiarism. It was revealed that a scarf from his collection had the exact same design as a scarf created in the 1950s by Swedish designer Gösta Olofsson, after Esquire writer Rob Millan discovered the scarf's use in a print ad and reported the allegation in the January 2008 issue. [10] In early March, Göran Olofsson, the son of Gösta Olofsson, and Jacobs settled on the issue through monetary compensation.[11] In 2009, Jacobs launched a shirt, sold at his stores[12], demanding the legalization of gay marriage. In February 2010, Jacobs sued Ed Hardy for infringing on the designs of one of his embroidered handbags.[13]
In 2006 he started a new line of body splash fragrances in affordable huge 10 oz. bottles which are distributed by Coty. First only being sold in perfume boutiques, they have become more and more popular during the recent years.
Personal life
In 2009, Jacobs was ranked 15th on Out magazine's annual list of "50 Most Powerful Gay Men and Women in America".[14]
Jacobs, who is openly gay, is currently married to advertising executive Lorenzo Martone. In March 2009, Women's Wear Daily reported that the pair was engaged after a year of dating.[15] In July of 2009, the couple held their wedding in Provincetown, Massachusetts.[16] Although they consider themselves a married couple, their marriage was not legally official until later the year.[17]
