Jacobs began working as a stockboy at Charivari, a now defunct avant-garde clothing store in New York City, at the age of 15. He created and sold his first line of hand-knit sweaters while still in Parsons. He also created his first collection for Reuben Thomas, Inc. under the Sketchbook brand. Jacobs Duffy Designs was founded by Robert Duffy, Jacobs' creative collaborator and business partner since the 1980s.
Jacobs' first collection branded with the Marc Jacobs brand was launched in 1986, backed by Onward Kashiyama USA, Inc. The Council of Fashion Designers of America's Perry Ellis Award for "New Fashion Talent" in 1987, he was the youngest designer to have ever been lauded with the highest accolade in the fashion industry. Following the death of its namesake and founder, Jacobs and Duffy joined Perry Ellis' women's design unit as creative director/vice president and president in 1988. In addition, Jacobs oversaw the creation of the various women's licensees. The Council of Fashion Designers of America awarded Jacobs with the Women's Designer of the Year Award in 1992. He conceived a "grunge" collection for Perry Ellis in the same year, which resulted in his departure.
Jacobs Duffy Designs Inc., a licensed and design firm, established Marc Jacobs International Company, L.P., in the fall of 1993. Jacobs' first complete collection of menswear appeared in 1994.
