Congratulations, MarcJacobs!
On August 26, Marc Jacobs will receive MTV’s first-ever Fashion Vanguard Award at the VMAs in a partnership between the television network and the Council of Fashion Designers of America. It couldn’t go to a more worthy individual. After all, it’s impossible to separate Jacobs from the music that’s influenced his 30-plus-year career. His Perry Ellis Spring 1993 collection was inspired by the grunge scene and featured supermodels parading down the runway in slouchy flannels and floppy beanies. .
Here, the designer discusses his grunge beginnings, his musical influences, and what MTV has meant to him. Nobody had introduced me to Nirvana. It was like a magnet, and that’s how I feel a lot of my life was. It wasn’t something I sought out; it just affected me immediately. I had a primitive connection to Sonic Youth and Nirvana and a lot of other things at that time. But again, it felt very authentic and not that I had to learn it or find it.
I think the alternative or indie and grunge scene was happening, and then there was also something going on in the modeling world, which of course I was very attached to and aware of. There was this new, maybe just under-the-radar way of looking at people or young people whose beauty was not conventional. It was a combination of all those things, and I really authentically felt something different was happening and something new was happening.
