As one of the most prominent and influential designers of our time, the American fashion designer Marc Jacobs is known for bringing contrasting elements together in one harmonious design. What at first sight clashes results in unconventional and timeless pieces that stand out from the crowd. Sometimes wild, sometimes simple and always beautiful, Marc Jacobs fashion is convincing in all categories, from retro to modern creations.
Since the young Marc had to do mostly without a father, his grandmother played an important role in his upbringing. As a child, his grandmother taught him knitting and in so doing laid the foundation stone for Marc's career to follow. At the age of 18, Marc enrolled at the renowned Parsons School of Design and graduated in 1984. Shortly afterwards, he was allowed to prove his extensive skills at the fashion company Perry Ellis. Here, the up-and-coming designer won awards, including Designer of the Year. After a period of experimentation and reinvention, Jacobs created several styles, including the famous grunge look. His fashion heyday, however, came when he joined fashion giant Louis Vuitton in 1997. Jacobs' move to Paris was the French company's salvation, as it was on the decline at the time. It was Jacobs, with his creative spirit, who breathed new life into LV, bringing the company back to the top, and not just in luggage and accessories. As if this reanimation had not been enough, the multi-talent marketed his own brand on the side. Under the name of Marc by Marc Jacobs, there are various fragrance lines, a watch line, children's collections and Marc Jacobs sunglasses as well as eyeglasses.
Marc Jacobs eyeglasses frames reflect the designer's love of colour. Their design is a mixture of eccentricity and extravagance. Thus, some people find the combinations of playful colours and shapes beautiful, others ugly, and Jacobs himself sees both in his designs. "Maybe it's so hideous that it's beautiful again", he is supposed to have said once. But for those who like to adorn themselves with gold and shiny colours, the Marc Jacobs style is just the right thing. Combining high quality metal and plastic materials into unique designs with a retro touch, Marc Jacobs eyewear always incorporates elements from the latest trends, as can be seen in their octagonal lenses, chunky cat-eye frames and gold glasses chains.
Among the most popular frame styles of Marc Jacobs women's glasses are the cat-eye full-rim and semi-rimless frames available in a range of colours from powder pink to tortoise and gold. The browline style frame is also popular among both women’s and men's glasses thanks to their suitability for a wide range of occasions, from chilled out dates to office meetings.
