In creating the pencil skirts, the designer has used shades of jet black and scarlet red. He has also used some snakeskin and different textures to give a completely changed look.
Marc Jacobs has the distinction of transforming the French fashion house Louis Vuitton. He has been bestowed with the Chevalier of the French Legion of Honour for his designing inventiveness. He has also won nine awards from the Council of Fashion Designers of America, including the prestigious women s wear Designer of the Year in 2010.
