Marc Jacobs and Sofia Coppola discuss Marc by Sofia, a documentary built around Jacobs’s 2024 runway show and their decades-long creative friendship. They revisit 1990s New York, the X-Girl fashion show and a pre-smartphone era, while explaining why Jacobs would participate only if Coppola directed and how the film captures his intense self-criticism.
