Jacobs learned his trade at the High School of Art and Design, and perfected it at the Parsons School of Design. Quite the pedigree. Immediately after his study at Parsons, Jacobs began to work for the Perry Ellis label. However, he was fired from this job after he designed a line of grunge clothing. I personally looove grunge, but apparently Perry Ellis doesn't agree. However, I'm not too upset that he got fired because otherwise, Marc Jacobs may not exist today.
Marc Jacobs is also noted for famously creating the first ready-to-wear line for Louis Vuitton after he was appointed Creative Director in 1997. Other than his fashion, Marc Jacobs is known for his unique look. Until recently, Jacobs would usually don a plain blue button-down shirt, khakis, white sneakers, thick glasses, and greasy hair. Thankfully, he's gotten his act together (by going to rehab), gotten in shape, and transformed his entire look. Check out this dramatic before and after:
