Marc Jacobs: ‘I Don’t Think That the Creative Is to Blame’
After nearly three decades under LVMH, the designer is opening a new chapter at his namesake label with new owners and no guarantees. Ahead of an in-depth BoF 500 cover story by Eric Wilson out next week, Jacobs joins Imran Amed on The BoF Podcast to reflect on the fashion slump and what comes next.
Marc Jacobs, the creative force behind his eponymous fashion brand, recently discussed the future of his business and the role of creativity in the industry with Imran Amed, as reported by BoF. In a candid conversation, Jacobs expressed his belief that the success of a fashion house is not solely dependent on the individual creative talent of its designer.
He emphasized the importance of having sufficient time and resources, as well as a strong team capable of translating creative visions into commercially viable products. Jacobs noted that many people, even within the fashion industry, mistakenly believe that the fate of a brand rests on the shoulders of a single creative individual.
He urged these individuals to recognize that a multitude of factors contribute to the success of a fashion business, beyond the realm of creativity.
