MARC JACOBS will be releasing the "TOMO KOIZUMI x MARC JACOBS" collection, a collaboration with popular young designer Tomotaka Koizumi, whose overwhelming presence is captivating the world, exclusively in Japan from November 17, 2021.


TOMO KOIZUMI burst onto the scene at the Fall/Winter 2019 New York Collection, holding his first-ever fashion show at the MARC JACOBS flagship store in New York's Madison. With the support of Katie Grand, a world-renowned stylist who has supported the MARC JACOBS runway for many years, TOMO KOIZUMI's name became known around the world overnight. His designs are experimental and unique, and their beauty is always filled with excitement and surprise. They are overwhelming, moving, and simply looking at them enriches the soul. The two brands share a common goal of delivering a deeply moving fantasy worldview to many people, resulting in this long-awaited collaboration. MARC JACOBS' signature items and TOMO KOIZUMI's gorgeous ruffles are available in a wide variety of colors and materials.


To celebrate this memorable limited edition collection, Tomotaka Koizumi himself appears in the campaign images, which were shot in Japan. Actress Yumi Adachi also appears as a special model, creating a fairytale-like atmosphere by combining Marc Jacobs' playful items with the beauty of TOMO KOIZUMI's unique woven, layered fabrics.


The collection will center around MARC JACOBS' iconic bag, "THE SNAPSHOT," as well as ruffle straps and scrunchie hair accessories. In addition, a limited-edition, one-of-a-kind special clothing series will be available, made from deadstock fabrics that had been stored in the brand's atelier in the United States, all handcrafted and reconstructed into a ruffled pattern.

TOMO KOIZUMI (Koizumi Tomoki)

TOMO KOIZUMI (Koizumi Tomoki)
Influenced by his mother, he became interested in fashion from an early age. In junior high school, he happened to come across a book about John Galliano's collection and was so inspired that he decided to become a designer. In 2011, a garment he had made during his university years caught the eye of a select shop owner, prompting him to launch his own brand. After working as an assistant to a stylist and costume artist, he expanded his activities as a costume designer. In February 2019, with the support of world-renowned stylist Katie Grand, designer Marc Jacobs, and KCD Public Relations, Inc., he held his first fashion show at Marc Jacobs' flagship Madison store in New York. His collections and costumes are characterized by vibrant colors and bold silhouettes. He is highly sought after by actresses and artists both in Japan and abroad, and he also designs many custom costumes. He received the 2019 Mainichi Fashion Grand Prix Jury Special Award and was selected for BoF500. He was also named one of the winners of the 2020 LVMH Prize. To celebrate the brand's 10th anniversary in 2021, the brand will present a collection in a show format at Nijo Castle in Kyoto, a World Heritage Site. In the same year, the brand will also be responsible for the costumes used to sing the national anthem at the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics. The brand has also been selected to win the Grand Prize at the 2021 (39th) Mainichi Fashion Awards.
