Marc Jacobs revists Stephen Sprouse's Motifs


Marc Jacobs is elated to revisit the Sprouse motif, which pays homage to late designer/artist Steven Sprouse through a new tribute collection - mimicking the previous 2001 collection.

MARC JACOBS HAD THIS TO SAY:
The uncompromising, head-to-toe Sprouse aesthetic is timeless, Jacobs noted.

“It almost becomes a classic, like a Chanel jacket, or a smoking,” he said. “It’s this idea of a head-to-toe look in this brash, neon, rock ’n’ roll, edgy, street-informed style. Sprouse really best personified it.”

“I tried to take what Stephen had done at Vuitton and then kind of flip it in my head, and make it Vuitton’s work for Stephen, not Stephen’s work for Vuitton,” Jacobs said. “I just felt it was a funny way to play with it, to pretend to be Sprouse for a bit, and use the work that he did, and then bring it back to the work that he did before I collaborated with him.” [Source: WWD]

Marc Jacobs is a genius ... I want to be just as fly, if not sky higher than him.
