Marc Jacobs Celebrates 40th Anniversary with NIGO Collaboration
For fashion icon Marc Jacobs’ milestone 40th anniversary, the label is pulling out all the stops with a special collaboration that is sure to be a hero piece for any wardrobe. Teaming up with the legendary NIGO, the dynamic duo has reimagined one of Jacobs’ most iconic pieces from the ’90s: the Superman Sweater.
The Evolution of a Classic
Originally introduced in a menswear collection in the ’90s, the Superman Sweater has been given a modern twist. While it still boasts the bold blue hue that made it stand out, the silhouette has been updated with a cozy knit blend of alpaca and wool. The iconic Superman shield is emblazoned on the front, with Marc Jacobs’ signature lettering stitched onto the back.
A Collaboration with History
This isn’t the first time Jacobs and NIGO have joined forces. They first collaborated in 2005 for Louis Vuitton’s Millionnaire sunglasses, alongside music mogul Pharrell Williams. Now, they have come together once again to create the Superman Sweater, the latest in a series of special archival collaborations released by Marc Jacobs to celebrate its 40th year. Previous collaborations include a reworked version of the label’s iconic Smiley Sweater from 1985, in partnership with Cactus Plant Flea Market.
