Widely beloved (and reportedly engaged) fashion and fragrance designer Marc Jacobs will receive the Hall of Fame Award at this year’s FiFis, The Fragrance Foundation announced today. Selected by the Foundation’s board of directors, the Hall of Fame Award honors an individual who has “brought extraordinary ingenuity, creativity, dedication and inner resources… not only to their company’s success but to the fragrance industry as a whole.”
"It's been really rewarding to make this foray into fragrance," stated Mr. Jacobs, who won the Fragrance of the Year FiFi at last year’s ceremony for his Daisy scent. "It's fun to smell our fragrances on people on the street and it all feels very in sync with our collections. We work really hard on the fragrances and it is nice to be recognized for that."
