Summary

  • Sofia Coppola‘s documentary on fashion designer Marc Jacobs is set to premiere at the upcoming Venice Film Festival in September
  • Marc by Sofia takes a look back on Jacobs’ rise to become one of fashion’s biggest names, and promises an intimate look into the pair’s creative kinship throughout the years

Next month, Sofia Coppola is all set to introduce her first documentary titled “Marc by Sofia“, a captivating cinematic representation of renowned fashion designer Marc Jacobs, who happens to be her long-time friend. This film will make its premiere outside the competition section at the upcoming Venice Film Festival, which is scheduled from August 27 until September 6.

In tribute to the well-loved yet defunct Marc by Marc Jacobs collection, this 97-minute film follows the journey of Marc Jacobs as he rose to prominence in the fashion world and showcases uncommon archival material that highlights the deep creative bond between the two for many years.

In 1992, Coppola and Jacobs crossed paths for the first time, not long after Jacobs’ grunge collection for Perry Ellis had stirred up some controversy. Reflecting on this encounter in a 2015 interview, Jacobs stated that Sofia was among the select few who admired the unique qualities of his work at that time. Intrigued by what he was creating, Sofia sought to meet him. When they finally met, it was love at first sight for Jacobs!

Ever since then, this duo has teamed up on many ventures over the years. For instance, Jacobs selected the director of the Bling Ring for his early promotional campaigns, they also worked together during Jacobs’ tenure at Louis Vuitton, and most recently, Coppola’s The Virgin Suicides served as an inspiration for the aesthetic of Heaven, a sister brand to Jacobs’ namesake.

Sofia’s creation, named “Marc,” will grace the screens at Venice’s 82nd installment, joining an impressive lineup of premieres. Although specifics are still under wraps, this movie promises to captivate both fashion enthusiasts and cinephiles alike.
