Marc Jacobs

Prolific designer Marc Jacobs has long destined himself to dominate the high profile fashion world after setting foot at the Art and Design High School in New York City.

Serious and true to his passion, the young American designer continued higher education at the renowned Parson School of Design, still in New York City, where he spawned a promising and his first ever collection of hand-knitted sweaters that the fashion market first saw under his name through the windows of Charivari, a well patronized boutique in the city.

As a young student in Parson’s, Jacobs already exhibited promising talent as a fashion designer by standing out in his batch and winning numerous and various awards including the Design Student of the Year.

Seeing Jacobs’ raw talent, Charivari owner Barbara Weister gave the young designer his first break, which served as the young designer’s first step towards stardom in the fashion world.
