“They say that if you please everyone, you’ve done nothing. Then you’re a jar of Nutella. You can’t please everyone, nor will everyone understand you,” says Marc Jacobs
Photo-Illustration: by The Cut; Photo: Getty Images The word perfect is one of the 20-plus tattoos on Marc Jacobs’s body, inked on his right wrist. He insists that it’s not about chasing an ideal but realizing you’re good enough. In 2009, he told the Telegraph that the word first resonated with him in rehab. “I put it there to remind me, for when I’m looking at myself and wishing that I could be stronger in this way or better at that thing, and I can just go, ‘No. I’m exactly how I need to be.
With lockdown, I discovered that even without a place to go, I felt better when I got up and went into the bathroom, showered, did my beauty ritual, went to the closet, and picked up something fun to wear. Even if I sat in the living room all by myself with takeout food, I felt better about that day. I hate an unmade bed, and I don’t like to go without showering or grooming.
What I always hope is that people will be more open-minded to things and less black-and-white and allow for more gray. I hope they will be less binary and more open to possibility. I wish people could truly understand how beautiful it is to see things as possible, rather than negate things because they don’t fall into categories, rules, or ideas they’ve inherited. I wish people would understand how wonderful it is to be open-minded.
You have a tattoo that says “perfect.” The word perfect can sometimes have negative connotations. Did you have to make peace with that word?
