Collaborations<\/a> are a dime a dozen in the fashion world nowadays, with the hope of raising one another\u2019s profile \u2014 or as Gen Z says, \u201cmaximizing their joint slay.\u201d Marc Jacobs<\/a> and Sofia Coppola <\/a>know a thing or two about joining forces with other artists. During Jacobs\u2019 time at Louis Vuitton<\/a>, he brought the likes of Stephen Sprouse and Takashi Murakami<\/a> into the fold when these sorts of meetings of the minds were the exception rather than the rule, and beyond being one of the finest directors of our time, Coppola is also deeply entrenched in the worlds of fashion and music. Now, for the first time, she\u2019s turned her lens to a single subject for the documentary Marc by Sofia<\/em>. <\/p>\n

If you\u2019re expecting a linear, biographical account of Jacobs\u2019 life in fashion from Charivari to Louis Vuitton and beyond, you should look elsewhere. Instead, Coppola takes a microscope to Jacobs as he prepares for his now-infamous Spring 2024 collection, where models wore freaky Polly Pocket-esque clothing paired with blown-up bags, shoes, and hair. It went viral in the fashion world for its takes on proportions, womanhood, and the set, which included Robert Therrien-designed table and chairs. Rather than focusing on the successes of Jacobs\u2019 singular career, Coppola tracks the somewhat inscrutable mind of a creative who is actively building a world through references, artistic collaborations, and happenstance moments \u2014 as he tells NYLON about a soundtrack for his most recent Spring 2026 show, he heard someone playing \u201cJoga\u201d by Bj\u00f6rk<\/a>, and \u201cit brought back this emotional response that I had the first time I heard her perform it. I was like, \u2018That feels like the right thing to see this show with.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Coppola and Jacobs\u2019 curiosity about the world around them \u2014 and the artists responding to the same moments as them \u2014 make them fixtures in culture who are still able to make thought-provoking work. They are both deeply instinctual creatives, which comes through in the documentary and in my conversation with them about the process of making a collection and a film at the same time, their inspirations, and how Jacobs got Anna Weyant to make a painting for him in record time.<\/p>\n
