Label Overview

Jacobs introduced his namesake line in 1986 and quickly became the youngest designer ever to win the CFDA Perry Ellis Award for New Fashion Talent. Two decades and several CFDA awards (for womenswear, menswear, and accessories) later, Marc Jacobs is to America what Miuccia Prada is to Italy: the can’t-miss catwalk, the bellwether label, the mercurial designer who stuns/delights/scares the fashion world twice a year. Jacobs has a knack for sizing up the zeitgeist and then one-upping it. A master of the mash-up, his references are wide-ranging, always in flux, and often unlikely. He’s done multi-layered grunge and tight-as-a-drum ladylike. What’s next? It’s unpredictable—but you can safely assume it’ll make waves and move units. The mystique is buoyed by the use of unexpected models (Charlotte Rampling, Dakota Fanning, Posh Spice), and Juergen Teller’s vivid photo campaigns.

Quote by Marc Jacobs "“I like romantic allusions to the past: what the babysitter wore, what the art teacher wore, what I wore during my experimental days in fashion when I was going to the Mudd Club and wanted to be a New Wave kid or a punk kid but was really a poseur. It's the awkwardness of posing and feeling like I was in, but I never was in. Awkwardness gives me great comfort.”

Models wear designs from the Marc Jcaobs spring/summer 2010 collection at New York Fashion Week. Marc Jacobs always has many new ideas for the upcoming seasons

Jimmy Choo Launches Charity Line; Limited Edition Collection will Benefit Project PEP

Tamara Mellon has rallied her pep squad to raise money for African women and children exposed to HIV.

The founder and president of Jimmy Choo unveiled a limited edition capsule collection of shoes, bags and small accessories as part of the charity Project PEP during an event at Selfridges. PEP refers to post-exposure prophylaxis, a medication that, in most cases, stops HIV from taking hold in the body if it is administered within 72 hours of exposure.

Choo plans to donate 25 percent of net sales of the PEP line to the Elton John AIDS Foundation. The money will support funding of the Simelela Rape Centre in Cape Town and allow it to remain open 24 hours a day. “So many women feel strongly about the brand — they feel they own a part of Jimmy Choo. This is a way for women to help other women. And I want them to know that for every product sold, the money will immediately release a whole bunch of PEP drugs onto the market,” said an impassioned Mellon during an interview at the Choo headquarters here.

The collection launched today in Jimmy Choo stores worldwide in addition to Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom.
Mellon said she swapped what would have been the annual cruise ad campaign for a Project PEP one, shot in New York by Terry Richardson and featuring Angela Lindvall. Prices range from $90 for the flip-flops to $995 for the large glazed canvas tote.

MARC JACOBS YOUNGER BROTHER PAUL CARRIES on the LEGACY and LAUNCHES CANY CLOTHING, a SOCIALLY CONSCIOUS LINE of T-SHIRTS

Ventura, CA- June 12, 2009. Paul Jacobs of CANY Clothing is announcing the launch of their online store at www.canyclothing.com. CANY is inspired by the belief that everyone has a voice and the right to be heard, regardless of age,sex,race, religion or sexual preference.
Paul Jacobs is the youngest of the three Jacobs children. At an early age, Paul and his sister were put into foster care when their single mother fell ill and was no longer able to take care of them. His oldest sibling Marc went to live with his Grandmother, who was unable to care for all three children at the time. Marc would eventually go on to become a fashion icon while Paul and his sister would finish out their childhood with an amazing family in foster care. Paul points to his diverse upbringing as the key factor in developing CANY and his belief that from coast to coast we are one country united not divided.

I am excited to see what his brother has designed.

After his mainline flight of fancy, where he confessed he felt no need to ‘rein in my creativity’, Marc Jacobs became the man who fell to earth, for his secondary Marc by Marc Jacobs line, with his eye firmly on the bottom line.
The collection was a delightfully disarranged mix of High School Musical meets Clueless.

Bright florals, checks, spots and geometrics; army-style and bright-coloured, low-top sneakers; bow-wraps in the hair; and glitter-striped stretch belts cinching the waists of everything from short prom-frocks in multi-coloured prints and loose jumpsuits in bright yellow and green satin, to red plaid trench-coats and cheetah-print, baggy T’s worn with baggy red-stripe shorts.
Sweat-pants were worn with braces, striped blazers with faded denim shorts. Throw in a handful of coloured beads, some skeleton necklaces and a clutch of ethnic-stripe totes, tribal-look rucksacks and boxing boots embellished with lots of strap. On the Marc.

On Saturday, November 14, H&M unveiled Jimmy Choo for H&M – a collaboration collection of women’s shoes, clothes, bags, and accessories, as well as menswear items. The opportunity to own Jimmy Choo designed fashion at H&M prices drew long lines at all four Tokyo H&M locations – Ginza, Harajuku, Shibuya, and the new store in Shinjuku.


The H&M location in Harajuku is near the new Nike Harajuku shop (which was having its grand opening) so we headed down there to check out the scene. At the Harajuku store, over 200 shoppers lined up around the block – and in the rain – for a chance at getting their hands on some of that Jimmy Choo goodness.

It is so crazy to me that people, in Tokyo, camped out in front of H&M for the grand opening.
Jimmy Choo and H&M collaborative line was dropped on November 14 in two hundred stores. The pairing of Jimmy Choo and H&M will provide a high-end luxury line of accessories with H&M's affordable price point. Below are a few photos from the add campaign.

Jimmy Choo brings glamourous shoes and handbags to selected H&M stores. The collection will be available November 14. "Jimmy Choo will bring to H&M a sophisticated, fashion forward, accessible and glamorous collection-the perfect party pieces to buy now and then wear out that night" Tamara Mellon, Founder and President, Jimmy Choo.


Marc Jacobs was born in New York City and at the age of 15 he worked as a stockboy at Charivari, a clothing-boutique in New York. He then entered Parsons The New School for Design. While at Parsons he designed and sold his first line of hand knit sweaters. He also designed his first collection for Reuben Thomas Inc. Following his studies at Parsons, Jacob designed a "grunge" collection for Perry Ellis. Jacob eventually left Perry Ellis and collaborated with Robert Duffy. To this day the Jacob Duffy Design Inc still continues. In 1986, Jacob designed his first collection bearing the Marc Jacobs label. Jacob is the prominent fixture in the New York celebrity scene, having become a celebrity himself. Most of his collections make reference to the fashions of past decades from the forties to the eighties. Marc Jacob is also the current Creative Director for Louis Vuitton.

Jimmy Choo was born in Penang, Malaysia into a family of shoemakers. He made his first shoe when he was 11 years old. He is one of the most notable students of Cordwainers Technical College in London Borough of Hackney, London. The college is now part of the London College of Fashion. While attending college, Jimmy Choo worked part-time in a restaurant and as a cleaner in a shoe-factory in order to fund his education. In 1986, Jimmy opened his own workshop in London. His designs soon became noticed and and in 1988 Vogue featured eight pages of his creative shoes. In 1996, Jimmy co-founded Jimmy Choo Ltd. with British Vogue accessories editor Tamara Mellon. Since 2001, Jimmy has been working on his exclusive Jimmy Choo Couture line. The Jimmy Choo London line is also known as Jimmy Choo Ready-to-Wear. Jimmy Choo is currently collaborating with H&M. He currently lives in London and is still producing expensive high-end shoes.
