Marc Jacobs is one of the most influential people in the world according to Time magazine, and it is through the fashion world that his talent shines. After being the creative director of the fashion house Louis Vuitton for almost seven years, now he is the head of his own fashion label in his own name.
His recent collections have a strong ’80 throwback, while of the most designers have often referred to the ’70s, Jacobs has filled his shows with lime abstract neon, colorful animations, glitter and punk twist with an explosion of retro goodness.
His sunglasses collection of Fall/Winter 2016 reflects this memorable ’80 style. We have collected his five most recent ’80 inspired sunglasses campaigns to make you feel inspired this fall/winter in your fashion choices, by an icon of the fashion world.
