The Visionary Encounter of Fashion: A.P.C. and Marc Jacobs

In the early 1990s, a transformative era for fashion, Marc Jacobs found himself gravitating towards the minimalist allure of A.P.C. During this pivotal time, he was revolutionizing the fashion landscape with his iconic designs—transmuting grunge-inspired plaids into luxurious silk shirts at Perry Ellis and crafting normcore zip-up hoodies out of the finest cashmere for his own label. With A.P.C.’s newly inaugurated SoHo store as his playground, Jacobs recalls, “It was just so cool. It was the epitome of normal and nothing, but in the most perfect way possible.”

The Anti-Fashion Movement

Jean Touitou, the founder and creative director of A.P.C., initiated a paradigm shift in contemporary fashion by embracing a philosophy of anti-fashion. This Parisian brand meticulously crafted essentials and elevated basics, stepping away from the ostentatious excesses of the 1980s. Rather than adhering to flamboyant trends, A.P.C. perfected timeless staples—think of the perfect white tee reminiscent of Steve McQueen or a classic sweatshirt akin to those favored by Albert Einstein. Jacobs was drawn to their impeccably tailored indigo denim, which he lovingly describes as “the perfect straight fit” with the right waist rise, alongside a range of turtleneck shades, and the carefully curated music flowing through the store.

A Mutual Influence

As Jacobs infatuated over the brand, Touitou simultaneously admired Jacobs’s sharp cynicism, deep material understanding, and his ability to capture the spirit of the times. “I truly believe both our brands contributed uniquely to the pages of fashion history,” Touitou reflects. While they did not connect until the late ’90s—after Jacobs’s appointment as artistic director for Louis Vuitton, an introduction facilitated by Sofia Coppola—the memories of a newfound camaraderie lingered. Their first collaborative moment was immortalized in a quirky spoken-word piece they recorded one night after dinner with fellow designer Anna Sui.

A Hypothetical Collaboration

Touitou often muses on the idea of what could have emerged from a collaboration if he had approached Jacobs back in 1996. “What if I had knocked on his door and said, ‘Hey, Marc, we’re not doing the same thing, but we appreciate each other, let’s create something together’?” The hypothetical scenario not only excites the imagination of fashion enthusiasts but also highlights the intertwined legacies of both designers in shaping a distinctive narrative in the fashion industry.

Ultimately, the stories of Marc Jacobs and Jean Touitou represent a unique fusion of perspectives—a blend of nostalgia and modernity that continues to influence fashion today.
