Tim Blanks you are an incredible interviewer and believe me, your quarantine conversations with fashion professionals are being very important documents and will certainly influence a new generation that is now strongly impacted by these dark times. Keep these records beyond RUclips. For the future.
I agree with you～
Even though this is from two years ago, what I truly appreciate from this honest conversation is that I get to see that even a successful person like Mark Jacobs struggles with anxiety, spending too much time in his head and that type of things. So that helps me aknowledge that, although many times I feel confused or incomplete myself, I too have had successes and I do have what it takes to strive and keep doing my best contribution in life. Thanks a lot for sharing!
Only watching this now. Who knew how the world would have changed since. Revolution is televised. I just adore how human and a deep thinker Marc is, in the sense of allowing himself not to know what will come and acknowledging his (mine too and many people's) privileged place that want to take part in the change. Thank you
a very interesting conversation. sounds like me and Marc share many of the same existential and creative thoughts. also heavily agree on shopping being an experience, nothing like walking into a store an being captured by unexpected colours and materials and trying on outfits- what a wonderful way to pass the time, so much more satisfying than scrolling screens endlessly
Thank you so much for this candid conversation and for talking about the shopping experience and the industry in NYC. I was listening to this in the background and it made my day. I actually think that Millenials will eventually embrace more live and in person experiences, but it will be different for us and them. Keep in mind that the older Millenials are now reaching 40 and people still talk about them like they're in their late 20s.
I'm a GenXer and I think we need to be fair to those younger than us and be patient because the pendulum will swing, they're going to get "tired" of everything being online and when the time comes, some of them will need and ask for our help. When that happens, we'll need to be a little compassionate and help guide them along the way. Just like those who came before us, because you can't miss what you never had. The Millenials and Gen Z or whomever - don't really have much to compare this to.
I have vivid and cherished memories of when I first visited Bergdorf Goodman or when my mother took me to a ladies luncheon/fashion show at the little department store in my small hometown and I was 10 and we both got all dressed up.
It's similar to when you go out to dinner. When you go to an expensive restaurant - you're NOT going just for the food. The food is very important of course but you're also going for the ambiance and the level of service. It's almost like a performance and ditto for any other service-based business.
As for what Marc said about writing letters - don't be surprised if really beautiful, expensive stationary becomes a status symbol again - like a Birken bag. Just look at the success of all the hand-lettering accounts on Instagram - there are a LOT of young people who have an keen interest in craft and making things with their hands. There are still bright days ahead. Again, many thanks :)
Thank you for these conversations. Listening to you both is a delight
It was so nice to meet Marc Jacobs and expressing his feelings that so many of us are. You are a great artist and probably a workaholic. Dreams are a lot of what happens during the course of the day and all these thoughts and ideas flow into that secret place with your brain. We all have to have a little fantasy in our lives which help to explore those dreams of ours. I don't like to see un-made beds...haha...Mom made sure ours was done before leaving home....So when the "bed police" make in, it was done😁 I hope you are doing well Marc...keep happy thoughts, keep busy, there is so much in nature to explore. It will give you many thoughts for your make-up and fashion line. Surround yourself with positive influences and beauty. Keep talking about mental health because it will help you with your conversation with other people. There are so many thoughts about the subject that can be discussed and possibly even help you with your journey. You are the "Fire" sign in the Astrological calendar which "sparks" your design and creations. You are very talented and remain true to yourself Marc. You have to allow yourself to enjoy nature Marc and with a new home so exciting. Keep your sights up high and think positive. My mom said one time thee needs to be a revolution. Many people in America do not remember World War I & II and the depression of the 30's ...too much have been given to the wrong people in America and others have to struggle all their lives. But we are in a better place then in the 30's and 40's. Just a hint Marc, put on some beautiful music with ocean scenery..it is soothing and many colorful fish which gives you ideas on color for your fashion lines. Stay safe.
Thank you Tim for all these wonderful interviews.
Thank you for speaking so candidly about mental health. I feel like it’s a topic that could be looked down upon in fashion as everyone expects you to be tough. Glad that things are changing.
Such treasure, we need more deep honest conversations like this from major designers that have lived lives.
I loved this interview so much. I got a lot out of it and I fell in love with Marc.
It was like listening to a conversation between friends 🙏🥰
BoF has become so exclusive in its delivery these numbers are abysmal.
With this kind of top talent they should easily be racking up thousands more views easily, but they can't cultivate a wider audience because their facade as a company is so unapproachable.
Thank you so much Tim and Marc. Really great to hear you guys sharing like that, honesty, soulfulness, fears, mental health and the like. Thank you Imran too. I wonder to which extent Marc will aim to only do sustainable fashion etc etc We really felt we were in the discussion with you both. Most appreciated :)
This was a great open and honest conversation. Thanks to both!!
Two of my favorite men in fashion. Wonderful discussion.
This conversation was very authentic and honest. And Gosh Marc is so right about everything!!
Loved this conversation -
I feel exactly the way he does!!! Bless him❤️💜💜❤️
Marc is so open and honest but if I was him I would rent a house out of town already and get out of that hotel room.
Why rent...just buy...he can afford ..who would want to be in isolation at a NEW YORK HOTEL ROOM?
really dope interview, well done :)
God Bless you Marc Jacobs
I feel like Marcs work is being inspired by paintings and portraits. Im reading a book about were its mentioned how alot of the clothes worn in portraiture is not worn in everyday life. As a new person in the design world, I switched careerers from being a painter, I would can Marcs work is very informative
Yes, revolution. xx

*Honesty is so REFRESHING* few months down the line: and, here we are... we are now entering the eye of the needle...Astrologically up and until November the 16th..and beyond... we cannot know as a Species where this is going.. *HOLD FAST*
Pre-revolutionary conditions, hmm...
marc is in a fragile place. he forgets that he has the power to make that difference; to be that creator he is....maybe its a creation of a new business model, not just clothing. he has designer friends who can be that catalyst for change

marc jacobs vape l0rd
does he know the hazards of vaping ?
Well, his privilege is certainly showing. Good for everyone to see and understand that people in the fashion world are really on another level, or other world.
Love Marc, but what happened to his brand? The stuff they sell on-line is horrible.. and that ugly logo and those bags... Once they merged the Marc Jacobs with Marc by Marc Jacobs lines its never been the same.. 😯 though runway shows are superb! Very very odd. #MakeMarcJacobsGreatAgain
Why do gaymen talk so like girly?
