the film shows the inner workings of the marc jacobs machine, a place where few cameras are allowed to go. from new york to paris to toyko and back again. there's a lot of chair rolling and calling for joseph (his 2nd eye). marc's cut and paste technique is inspiring and as sophia coppola puts it, "creativity is mysterious."
some post-production animation adds to marc's already animated life. my favorite is when the narrator explains how louis vuitton legend speaks of fairies that haunt the house that LVMH made. a pink whoosh of sparkles fly by marc as he turns his head to follow, saying "the fairies are out."
marc is more artist struck than star struck. portrait artist, elizabeth peyton, one of marc's favorites compares artists to fashion designers, since "they both recreate their worlds." a short interview with murakami is a nice example of how art and fashion come together. to me its one in the same. ben's demi-god, scott of the sartorialist, said that the people he takes photos of treat their bodies like canvases. i completely agree.
