Marc Jacobs is a brilliant but weird sort of guy. You'd think because he prefers ironic or disturbing fashion images taken by photographers like Cindy Sherman or Juergen Teller, his muse would be a someone other than Sofia Coppola, she of the bee-stung lips and top shelf body. "She is the epitome of this girl I fantasise about," Jacobs has said of the effortlessly stylish, actress-turned-director/producer and daughter of legendary director, Francis Ford Coppola. Sofia is incredibly well connected in the film and fashion world and sort of American royalty. The added ingredient of having the world's No 1 fashion stylist, Venetia Scott, at your fingertips to dress her helps. We're not knocking you, Marc. Great choice of muse.
