Marc Jacobs was born on April 9, 1963 in New York City; he held an early interest in fashion, working as a store boy at Charivari, a New York City clothing boutique and attending the High School of Art and Design. He graduated in year 1981 and promptly enrolled at the Parsons School of Design. Not one to be held back, Jacobs had already designed and sold his first compilation prior to his graduation from Parsons.

By year 1994, Jacobs had created his individual, full compilation of menswear; his first. Louis Vuitton (French fashion house) took notice, appointing Jacobs to be their Creative Director, a title he has held since year 1997.
