A documentary directed by Sofia Coppola. Rated PG-13. 87 minutes. In theaters.

As you can probably guess from the chummy title, Sofia Coppola’s documentary portrait of fashion designer Marc Jacobs isn’t exactly a hard-hitting exposé. It’s more like looking at scrapbooks with a couple of old friends who aren’t about to push each other out of their comfort zones. A bit of a puff piece and never less (or more) than pleasant, it’s a cozy hang with the cool kids. Anyone who has seen how I present myself in public already knows I haven’t the slightest interest in fashion, but I do enjoy aesthetics and these breezy 87 minutes cram something like 40 years of striking looks into an overview of a career that’s still going.

Loosely structured around the assemblage of Jacobs’ 2024 spring collection, “Marc by Sofia” shuffles through the 62-year-old designer’s life and work. There’s special emphasis on his controversial, career-making 1993 “Grunge” show, which ended Jacobs’ association with employer Perry Ellis and announced something of a revolution in fashion circles. Coppola’s best footage comes from this period, when the director and designer first met amid a whirling who’s-who of impossibly hip and gorgeous people in downtown 1990s New York. I’m such a sucker for this era, show me a Chloë Sevigny photo shoot and I’ll be waxing nostalgic all afternoon about brown-bagging beers in Washington Square Park. (Jacobs’ most relatable moment is when he was hired to dress a Sonic Youth video and worried that he wasn’t cool enough to talk to Kim Gordon.)
