Marc Jacobs launched his namesake line in 1986, and then in 2001 debuted another critically acclaimed collection, MARC by Marc Jacobs, a collection of comparatively affordable and edgy mass-market pieces. His accompanying accessory lines — bags loaded with pockets and buckles, round-toed boots, pointed flats, metallic evening shoes — garner attention and in-store waiting lists every season.

Throughout his career, Jacobs have never been afraid to push the envelope: "I love that reaction of love or hate. It's indifference that bores me to death." America's darling of fashion received highest honors from Parsons School of Design, and soon after launched his namesake label. It was while he was Vice President of Women's Design at Perry Ellis that he debuted the grunge-inspired look that became his signature. Luxury French house Louis Vuitton, taken with Jacob's strong self assurance, hired him to design their first ready-to-wear line in 1997.

Most of Marc Jacobs' collections make references to the fashions of past decades from the forties to the eighties. Disputing the claim by the designer Oscar de la Renta that Jacobs is a mere copycat, the New York Times Critic Guy Trebay has written "unlike the many brand-name designers who promote the illusion that their output results from a single prodigious creativity, Mr. Jacobs makes no pretense that fashion emerges full blown from the head of one solitary genius."
Marc Jacobs boutiques in the United States include multiple locations in New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, as well as shops in Bal Harbour, Las Vegas, Guam, Chicago, Savannah, Boston, and Provincetown, Massachusetts. Worldwide, other such stand-alone stores are found in Europe, the Middle East, Japan, Korea, and elsewhere in Asia. The various ready-to-wear and accessory collections are also widely available at leading department stores around the globe.
