Kim Jones Honors Marc Jacobs’ 40th Anniversary With a Limited-edition Chain Necklace Available in Just 20 Exclusive Pieces Worldwide.
November 20, 2024 – Jewelry
Dior’s Kim Jones is joining the celebrations for Marc Jacobs’ 40th anniversary, bringing his signature creative touch to a limited-edition chain necklace. This 20-piece collection is available globally. It features Jones’ signature creativity with Marc Jacobs’ iconic flair for all things bold and shiny. Priced at 1,500 euros, the necklace is a must-have for fashion collectors.
The necklace features balloon-style CD and MJ initials intertwined with crystal pendants- a dazzling tribute to Jacobs’ legacy. Kim Jones describes the piece as a nod to an era when Marc Jacobs made the fashion world “shiny and bright,” a quality the designer continues to embody.
The Dior x Marc Jacobs necklace echoes Jacobs’ love for statement-making accessories, reminiscent of the charm necklaces and bracelets he has popularized under his affordable luxury line. Yet, this Dior collaboration elevates the design to an ultra-luxury status, limited to a mere 20 pieces.
Kim Jones and Marc Jacobs share a long history in the fashion world. The two overlapped at Louis Vuitton between 2011 and 2013. Jones led the men’s ready-to-wear division during the final years of Jacobs’ tenure as Artistic Director. Their creative paths have continued to intersect, including sitting on the jury of the LVMH Prize for Young Designers and a 2022 collaboration on a Fendi collection celebrating the Baguette handbag’s 25th anniversary.
Jones describes Jacobs as a trailblazer in fashion:
“Marc is a hero to so many people in fashion. He has pioneered so much for the fashion industry; there is a school of Marc Jacobs with so many designers having worked with him and for him throughout his career.”
The Dior x Marc Jacobs necklace is just one piece of the 40th-anniversary celebrations. Other collaborators include Anna Sui, Pat McGrath, and Nigo. Each contributed unique creations to honor Marc Jacobs’ enduring influence in fashion. This milestone anniversary for Jacobs is a testament to his far-reaching impact on the industry.
