Marc Jacobs criticizes LVMH in Vanity Fair cover story

Designer Marc Jacobs is featured on the cover of Vanity Fair’s 2026 style issue, presented through a portrait by artist Anna Weyant. The collaboration merges contemporary art with fashion, capturing Jacobs' likeness through Weyant’s unique artistic lens.

In an extensive interview accompanying the cover, Jacobs addressed the recent sale of his namesake brand from LVMH to WHP Global and G-III Apparel Group. He criticized LVMH’s management of his brand, stating that the conglomerate has “done the least possible they can in terms of growing our business.”

Jacobs also reflected on the nature of his runway collections, noting they are not primarily designed for commercial success, and expressed skepticism regarding the future implications of the recent brand sale.
