Designer Marc Jacobs said he would be interested in leading a major luxury fashion house again, but only Chanel.
Ever since Chanel’s creative director, Virginie Viard, left the French luxury house back in April, the fashion industry has been rife with rumors and wishful thinking about who might succeed her in that once-in-a-generation job. During the shows in Paris this summer,, including Hedi Slimane, Daniel Roseberry, Nadège Vanhée, and Glenn Martens. But one name that keeps coming up is Marc Jacobs, who led an influential tenure at Louis Vuitton as creative director from 1997 to 2013.
Turns out, Jacobs agrees. This week, the designer took the rare step of publicly declaring his interest in the coveted job., Jacobs said he would be interested in returning to Europe if Chanel were the one to call. “There’s only one job I want, and I haven’t been asked to do it,” he said. His longtime pal and Chanel ambassador Sofia Coppola told the magazine she put in a good word for him with the powers that be at the house.
Meanwhile, Chanel says it is in no hurry to decide on a new lead designer, given how consequential the hire will be for the future of the house. Bruno Pavlovsky, Chanel’s president of fashion, told reporters in October that the in-house design team is already working on the next collections that will be presented in December and January.
