Experimentation, fun and fancy have long been the trademarks that have separated Marc Jacobs from most American designers. From his collections to his costume parties, his reputation as the king of quirk is constantly being re-enforced.
Juergen Teller, Cindy Sherman, Marc Jacobs is a book of collaborative photos/dress-ups that began with Jacob’s spring 2005 campaign. A mixture of both the ordinary and the tragic, Teller and Sherman play a range of characters from office workers to truckers, junkies tocouples, both working with (as well as beyond) existing ideas of American stereotypes.
Hard-covered and hard to ignore, this publication is beautifully simple in its clothing and design, yet ugly and complicated in its portraits. In short, it’s everything we love about Marc Jacobs.
