Marc Jacobs on Chanel: "There's Only One Job I Want"

Marc Jacobs at Chanel? It can't hurt!! Marc would also not put up with substandard quality that Chanel has put out lately.

Very interesting. However, speaking from a marketing standpoint, I think Marc Jacobs has cheapened himself a bit through "accessibility" of his bags and that would not be a good look for Chanel, who is eager to remain at the top and is struggling to do so in light of Hermes's domination. I would be surprised if Chanel would want to have that association given MJ 's association (Lagerfeld, MK all had their "cheapened brands" AFTER Chanel, not before). Men's line or not, I think Slimane still has greater odds than MJ at being appointed Chanel's creative director. (watch me eat crow in a few weeks or something).

i think MJ would be a great addition to Chanel. It would open Chanel up publicly since MJ is very socially online.

Except the logo I have no Idea what LV clothes look like. It’s not only about bags. MJ isn’t really designing any longer really. Well lets see if him directly asking for the job will get him the jb

I like his fragrances. Perfect is nice. His designs are mediocre & unclassy - to me.

MJ is representing commercial success. Chanel represents another level of fashion, which is not commercialized nor trendy. I want someone unexpected and extreme talent to rule the next Chanel.

This actually goes way back. Marc had said his dream job is Chanel for well over a decade. I’m a huge Marc Jacobs fan, especially his cool girl, quiet luxury approach back in the day.

No his designs in clothes created this visual fantasy as well. I would love to see what he would do with tweed..

He might be a mainstay at that brand if given the opportunity. This assumption he might be given the job is a bit far fetched. His past few collections have seriously swept me off my feet. Regardless of what goes down it's mostly a waiting game. AT the very least the beginning of next year, we might hear something . longer than that possibly after summer. There is no rushing in this search clearly

Not much changes when they pick a designer and the designer ends up leaving for whatever reason. A ten year contract can definitely allow someone to leave their "mark" (pun intended) on the brand. Anything is better than the casket wear Chanel had those young girls wearing on the last show..😬🤦

Marc Jacobs Beauty isn't being pushed in Sephora that much because it was discontinued in 2021.

Chanel hasn’t asked Marc Jacobs because he hasn’t been able to create anything relevant in recent years. The block tote with “THE TOTE” no thanks! His recent collabs look atrocious. He’s been banking on the nostalgia of his past collabs but he hasn’t been able to offer anything fresh or exciting. At least Galliano gave us something to talk about

I watched a 100+ times the movie Monte Carlo and Cordelia Winthrop Scott wore this pearl tweed jacket that i thought was Chanel back then i found a research that it’s from Marc Jacobs so mesmerizing that i adore 💗

If Marc went to Chanel you know the quality would be on POINT! He is like Karl in he takes pride in his work and what he outs out. His interpretation of a Chanel world would be insane.

I love MJ with my whole heart. But I am tired of the same musical chairs game with creative directors. It’s time for a new generation of designers to breathe life into the storied fashion houses.

If Marc Jacobs get the job, it means Hedi wasn't interested. Chanel is the best maison to finish Slimanes job, he always admired Gabrielle Chanel s work and Lagerfeld adored Slimane and this job would be so perfect for him but yea, we can't look in his mind or heart. I'm a bit worried though... I just hope Slimane is not ill. Marc Jacobs is okay but not perfect for Chanel. ❤

Chanel needs silence. We are already living in a very much exposed time where everyone is showing themselves. Mystery would be great and then create some magic. I am rooting for Slimane because if he takes this job. Inlfuencers can say goodbye to their so called front row seats. The same people Chanel chooses to sit front row, slimane would have never choose these people and I don't mean it bad. I know his taste when it comes to him. The whole guest list will be change drastically and maybe it's a good thing. We need more magic and mystery and less noise and over exposure. ❤

Those nails looks so gross tho =,,= …

I think at this point Chanel should do Guest designers or Pick 2, have them present their fashions as the collections for 2025/2026 and let the customers decide the direction of Chanel. That way Chanel doesn’t piss off the older group that spends and perhaps can find someone that has a healthy mix of Street/commercial appeal and can still meet the demands and styling needs of Haute Couture. I mean you have a whole archive to dig through and your own style approach, I’m pretty sure you could mix something old with something new and find that happy medium.

@Mary’s Room This was an awesome video.

Marc Jacobs is my absolute first choice for Chanel. I feel like he would energize the label in the way that he did for Vuitton in such a brilliant way. My second choice would be John Galliano, but I'd love if John was allowed to go back to his own namesake label, and LVMH makes the Galliano brand primarily an haute couture house so John can create on his own schedule and deadlines.

MJ Beauty was bought and they are rebranding a bit. It will come out in 2025 hopefully.
Sending you love ❤️

Marc Jacob’s would be good, sure. He’s talented. There are a lot of designers that could fill the position. I know I’m biased but the job should go to Hedi Slimane. If Hedi will not be designing menswear anymore, then he better be going to Chanel. I guess I’m still processing Hedi leaving CELINE. Sophia Coppola would also be better than Marc. Just my selfish opinions.

there is a reason why chanel hasn't asked him

Wait I was gonna say the same thing you did in the screen like those new season bags for SS25 👀 GORG 😍
Marc seems like such a genuinely kind person. We all know my picks for Chanel would be MK&A but he would do magic if given the chance 🖤

Marc Jacobs’ clothes were so Chanel coded during the 2010s

HELL NO!

Whoever Chanel picks, they need to stay as the creative director for the long haul. Chanel is not about having a new designer every 5 years.

collaborations (which MJ is good at) is probably not the thing Chanel needs now, I can't imagine MJ at Chanel but I can easily think of Hedi Slimane and his beautiful , very french collection recently

They have the largest budget of any Couture House. From a business perspective it would take someone at his level to continue to make it economically viable. If they drag their feet they could further damage the relationships built.

Chanel needs jpg or tomford … i said what i said …..

Chanel will not choose Marc Jacob now that he’s wearing the stupid long nails that makes him look so cringy 😅

It has been months since Virginie left Chanel and we don't have a name yet. If it continues like that, i really think Chanel is going down, even more than today.

i need indie sleazy olsen twins/mj chanel
