A Louis and Marc Exhibition

Another Louis Vuitton and Marc Jacobs

win for all the fans out there!

The expo, which is being held at the Paris' Musée des Arts Décoratifs

(until the 16th Sept 2012)

is a story of two men:  the brand's father Louis Vuitton (1821 - 1892)

and

Marc Jacobs (who became creative director in 1997)

This exhibition aims to present the two stories of the brand's two important

personalities, and underline their individual contributions to fashion as a whole.

Showcasing some AMAZING trunks

(that the average woman during the 1850's, just after the brand was born, would carry

around 30 at a time when traveling!!) as well as

the average daily wardrobe of this same lady, usually consisting 

of about 6 different outfits... (only in my wildest dreams

could I wear six different outfits a day!!! sigh)

These items on show are truly remarkable!

There are also on show some of the more recent works that were

seen under the Vuitton brand that were created in collaboration

with famous names

such as Stephen Sprouse, Takashi Murakami and Richard Prince...

There is just SO much to see in this exhibition,

and I BEG those of you who will hit Paris before the end date

to please please, for me, go take a look!!!

And if you're a true Marc/Louis lover... you can purchase  an exhibition catalogue, entitled 'Louis Vuitton / Marc Jacobs', features interviews with Marc Jacobs by Murray Healy!

(Book featured in the first pic below.... as well as a little sneaky

shot there of the beautiful shoe that was part of the amazing

Louis Vuitton S/S 2012 collection!!)

Below are a few more pics from the Expo...
