A documentary about Marc Jacobs has been made. It was directed by a distinguished female director.
The director of such acclaimed films as "The Virgin Suicides," "Lost in Translation," and "Marie Antoinette" returns with a new project. Sofia Coppola's latest film, "Marc by Sofia," will be presented at the upcoming Venice International Film Festival, telling the story of her friend and collaborator, the renowned fashion designer Marc Jacobs.
The 82nd Venice International Film Festival kicks off on August 27th. The grand celebration of cinema will feature the premiere screening of Sofia Coppola's latest production. Her first feature-length documentary, "Marc by Sofia," about legendary fashion designer Marc Jacobs , will be shown out of competition.
Coppola and Jacobs have been friends and collaborators for over two decades. He often called her his muse, and she confessed in an interview that her relationship with him changed her life.
"When we met, it was love at first sight. I was captivated not only by her beauty and fashion sense, but also by her mannerisms, demeanor, and creativity. She embodied everything I find attractive—talent, style, and a unique vision," the designer once wrote on social media.
In 2002, Coppola starred in an iconic photoshoot by Juergen Teller for Jacobs' perfume ad campaign. In subsequent years, the Oscar winner shot ads for his iconic fragrance, Daisy, and during the designer's time at Louis Vuitton , they collaborated on a line of handbags.
What will "Marc by Sofia" be about?The upcoming documentary will likely include not only archival footage revealing the duo's collaboration, but also footage of their current work. Jacobs's latest fall collection was shown on June 30th at the New York Public Library. Fashion commentators praised the American designer's designs for their bold use of contrasting patterns and materials, as well as his innovative approach to body proportions.
The exact screening date for "Marc by Sofia" will be announced at the end of July, along with the full festival schedule. Industry sources report that the 54-year-old director is currently in talks to license the title to a streaming platform.
