A24 and contemporary art publisher MACK have officially released the much-anticipated MARC BY SOFIA book by Sofia Coppola. Serving as an intimate, comprehensive companion volume to her documentary feature film Marc by Sofia, the publication offers an exclusive look into the life, career and creative evolution of fashion designer Marc Jacobs. The project is deeply rooted in the pair’s genuine, decades-long friendship and artistic synergy, which spans over twenty years of mutual inspiration and frequent creative cross-pollination.
Spanning 200 meticulously curated pages, the publication maps out the definitive trajectory of Jacobs’ illustrious career from its earliest beginnings. It captures his formative student days at the Parsons School of Design, his controversial and industry-shifting “grunge” collection during his tenure at Perry Ellis, his generation-defining run as the artistic director of Louis Vuitton and the subsequent launch of his eponymous global label.
A primary highlight of the book is its extensive, behind-the-scenes documentation tracking the frantic development of his campy, “paper doll”-themed 2024 runway showcase. Readers are treated to deep, unedited dialogues between Jacobs and Coppola, alongside hundreds of private photographs and real studio production sketches that reveal the fine line between personal camaraderie and raw artistic process.
The art book itself is presented with a scrapbook-like aesthetic that perfectly mirrors Jacobs’ own penchant for cultural collage. Priced at £35 GBP (approx. $47 USD), MARC BY SOFIA is available through MACK’s webstore, as well as select bookstores and retailers.
