I was born in 1997, the year otherwise known as fashion’s “big bang,” when, on the precipice of a new millennium nearly every runway exploded with dynamic new ideas. It was also just a few years after Marc Jacobs’s famous spring 1993 Perry Ellis “grunge collection” and one year prior to his runway debut at Louis Vuitton. As a Zillennial, I’ve grown up with Jacobs consistently in the foreground of my fashion consciousness, whether I was a pre-teen yet to discover Tumblr trying to figure out what the “new Marc Jacobs” bag was in the original The Devil Wears Prada or, an eager young editor vying for a pair of Kiki boots at a Marc Jacobs-themed trivia night in 2024.
Across over 40 years, and all 28 of mine, Jacobs has been an enduring beacon in American fashion. In honor of his new documentary Marc by Sofia, here are eight of my favorite Marc Jacobs runway moments.
