A bespoke season of film dedicated to Marc Jacobs at ACMI
Drag queens, porn stars, washed-up rock stars, A-list fashion personnel and D-list celebrities – Marc Jacobs has a coterie of followers that hang onto him tightly, despite his insistence that he’s not cool. The designer who brought grunge to the catwalk is celebrating 25 years in the fashion biz, and continues to successfully operate mostly on intuition, Moxie soft drink and a dose of self-induced terror.
To applaud the man behind the superbrand ACMI has hooked up with Melbourne Spring Fashion Week 2009 to weave together Marc Jacobs on Film, dedicated to the designer’s career, creations and collaborations. The season kicks off with the Australian premiere of Marc Jacobs & Louis Vuitton. Director Loïc Prigent turns his camera lens towards the designer extraordinaire and Creative Director of luxury fashion house Louis Vuitton just in time for the birth of the handbag to beat all handbags – made up entirely of earlier Vuitton handbags!
The four screenings of this film will be introduced by festival guest Bryanboy who came to notoriety for his cybermusings on all things fashion. The internationally-adored superblogger is here to brag about the ‘BB Bag’ created in his honour for the Fall 2008-09 Collection by Marc Jacobs.
