It was announced this morning that Sofia Coppola will debut a documentary<\/a> about Marc Jacobs, her longtime friend and collaborator, at next month\u2019s Venice Film Festival in an out-of-competition slot. The film will be titled Marc by Sofia, a play on Jacobs\u2019s now defunct Marc by Marc Jacobs line. <\/p>\n

This will be the first documentary for Coppola, who has directed films like Priscilla, Marie Antoinette, and The Virgin Suicides. It\u2019s also Jacobs\u2019 first dedicated feature in a documentary since 2007\u2019s Marc Jacobs & Louis Vuitton. <\/p>\n

The two creatives have worked together for decades. Coppola starred in a Marc Jacobs fragrance campaign shot by Juergen Teller in 2002, collaborated with Jacobs on a bag collection while he worked at Louis Vuitton, appeared in his autumn 2015 campaign, and worked with him on his in-house Heaven by Marc Jacobs line launched in 2020. Both have become emblematic of New York\u2019s downtown fashion scene in the \u201880s and \u201890s.<\/p>\n

There is no information yet on which aspects of the life and career of Jacobs the film will focus. There is, of course, so much material: his infamous grunge collection for Perry Ellis; his stint as creative director of Louis Vuitton from 1997 to 2013; his work on his namesake line with its larger-than-life runway collections and, more recently, his younger sister line, Heaven. Regardless, just think how good the premiere’s red carpet will be. <\/p>\n
