Marc Jacobs: Unseen is the first publication dedicated to Marc Jacobs's highly influential creations, the epitome of downtown New York cool, captured behind the scenes by American Vogue photographer Robert Fairer in inspiring, never-before-seen images.

Entering fashion history in 1993 with his notorious grunge collection for Perry Ellis, Marc Jacobs quickly rose to become one of the most influential designers of his generation, both at the helm of his own label and as creative director of Louis Vuitton from 1998 to 2014. Known for his collaborations with prominent artists, musicians and muses, from Stephen Sprouse to Sonic Youth, Debbie Harry, Sofia Coppola and Chloe Sevigny, Jacobs reshaped what it means to be a fashion designer. Opening with an essay on the designer's work, Marc Jacobs: Unseen unfolds chronologically, revisiting his most iconic creations and revealing previously unseen behind-the-scenes moments of models, hairdressers, stylists, make-up artists and Jacobs himself at their most creative.
