Sofia Coppola is releasing her first documentary, Marc by Sofia, this August at the Venice Film Festival — a collaboration that feels natural and long overdue. This isn’t your typical fashion doc. It’s a quiet, heartfelt portrait of Marc Jacobs, told from the perspective of someone who’s shared his world for decades.

Their story starts back in the early ’90s, when Marc was making waves with his grunge Perry Ellis collection and Sofia was just emerging into the scene. Since then, their creative paths have been deeply intertwined — from Sofia starring in his perfume campaigns to directing his iconic Daisy ads, and collaborating on his bold Heaven line. It’s a friendship that goes far beyond fashion’s spotlight.

Though details about the film are still under wraps, if it’s anything like Sofia’s other work, expect a moody, dreamlike look at Marc’s journey — from his Parsons beginnings to his theatrical Louis Vuitton runway moments, all seen through her cinematic lens.

This isn’t a documentary about fashion history. It’s about friendship, creativity, and a shared language developed over decades. For anyone who cares about style and storytelling, this will feel like an intimate conversation between two creative icons.
