The clunky, haphazard production of this documentary complements Jacobs' own process and the often chaotic state of the workers behind the scenes. And hey, I'm not even a Jacobs fan.

very insightful and inspiring; a must see

His clothes are so original and ingenious. It's really more wearable art than it is clothing. I thought it was really interesting that he takes inspiration from so many different places, objects, and pieces of art from all time periods. It was well put together.

With Pringent's direction we're treated to a wild ride with Jacobs during New York and Paris fashion weeks as he brings his work to the catwalks, conferring with his teams across two continents to codify his vision for the Spring 2006 collections.
Most endearingly, Jacobs speaks about his life, his work and some of his successes and failures involving both. We're provided with not only amazing behind the scenes footage; but of highlights of the finished collections (for both his namesake label and that of famed French luggage/luxury house Vuitton), and the evolution of them from the catalyst ideas. For fans of fashion and of art and business, this should prove to be time well-invested.

(read more) This unique documentary grants the viewer a unique and never before seen look inside one of the must influential minds in the fashion industry-that of Marc Jacobs-and documents the completely original train of thought that Marc rides to create the stunning RTW looks and sculptural bags that are presented during Paris Fashion Week every season. But, in between the shots of beautiful models, clothes, bags, parties, and high rollers like Bernard Arnaut, we see the other side of Marc: a surprisingly down to earth and likeable person. So, watch it for that, but also watch it for all the delectable bag-porn and shoe-porn and and fleeting glimpse behind one of the most luxurious brands in the world-Louis Vuitton.
