• Resumen

  • Marc Jacobs is a self-described postmodern fashion designer who is believed to give a downtown New York allure to everything he touches, even though he now lives and works in Paris and routinely taps into the value-adding sources and innovative energies of far-away places such as Tokyo. Here I present Jacobs as one of the emerging global tastemakers whose relatively less place-bound and powerfully global experiences have significant implications for the arguments around the sociology and geography of creativity. More specifically, I argue that the transterritorial nature of Jacobs' creativity points to a more complicated geography of creativity than has been acknowledged in the literature.
