It follows her longtime friend Mark Jacobs as he builds his spring 2024 Ready to Wear Collection. The film mixes his creative process, influences from art and movies, and personal biography into a casual portrait. The idea came from producers RJ and Jane Shaw Cutler, though both Coppola and Jacobs hesitated at first. She worried about the pressure of directing her pal of over 30 years. He felt uneasy being on camera, but their trust won out, leading to a no-limits approach with no script and sight. They go way back to the early 1990s in New York, bonding over fashion, music, art, and films.
