In honor of Marc Jacobs's 40th anniversary, his namesake label unveils a special collaboration series, with the latest installment featuring longtime friend Anna Sui. The capsule collection, a testament to their enduring friendship, showcases iconic designs infused with their signature styles, Vogue reports.
The collection includes the Snapshot Bag adorned with whimsical "Miss and Mister Marc" illustrations in Sui's distinctive purple and black hues. Complementing this is a varsity jacket featuring their initials and the founding year of the brand, 1984. This collaboration marks a continuation of their creative partnership, which first blossomed in 2018 with the "Marc & Anna" capsule.
Their friendship, rooted in mutual admiration and shared experiences, traces back to the 1980s when Jacobs worked at Charivari store and Sui was a customer. However, their bond solidified in the 1990s, cemented by joint interviews and collaborative efforts in the fashion industry.
Over the years, Jacobs and Sui have remained constant in each other's lives, attending fashion shows, and sharing dinners at iconic New York establishments. Their enduring connection is evident in their support for each other's work, with Jacobs recently attending Sui's show at The Strand's Rare Book Room.
This collaboration celebrates more than just fashion; it's a tribute to a friendship forged in the heart of New York's fashion scene, spanning four decades of creativity, camaraderie, and mutual respect. /BGNES
