Description

This fascinating publication presents the roles two men have played in turning a small workshop in nineteenth-century Paris into one of the most successful and recognized brands in the world. Known for both craftsmanship and must-have high design, Louis Vuitton the luxury house was started by its eponymous founder in 1854. The first half of this publication traces the innovations by Vuitton, who turned the little-known guild profession of emballeur (packer) into the foremost luxury trunk maker in Paris, with a clientele that included in his lifetime the French nobility as well as the elite of a prosperous empire. Prime and never-before-seen examples of Vuitton’s craftsmanship, along with the fashion that went into them, are the highlights of these chapters. The second half of the book examines the role of Marc Jacobs as Louis Vuitton’s creative director (since 1997), who took the Louis Vuitton house into a new era with a series of collaborations with artists and designers—such as Takashi Murakami, Richard Prince, and Stephen Sprouse—as well as designing a line of highly successful and desired clothing for the company. By examining two divergent but often similar careers one hundred years apart, Louis Vuitton / Marc Jacobs is not only a layered study of the evolution of a luxury brand in the past 150 years but also a celebration of technical and design innovations in the new century.

    • Great decorating piece and good read
Review Image by Ashley Christie Ashley Christie
I purchased this book for the price and to decorate with but I actually really enjoyed reading it. I love the colors and the flat paper cover. It is large and adds to any coffee table or entry way. It is heavier than expected but it was a pleasant surprise.

    • A must for fans of LV and MJ
Beautiful, large heavy book that is a great addition to my LV book collection. A must if you loved the MJ years, which I did.

    • This Book Is A Work Of Art!!!!
This book is absolutely stunning. It comes with a book cover, which is seen in the main photo as well as the gallery, that ends with a diagonally-slanted flap which reveals the actual cover of the book (the white background, gold letters). The book feels sturdy and durable while still retaining a sense of high quality. It is obvious that this book was meticulously crafted. From the feel of the pages to it's textured cover, this book represents everything Louis Vuitton stands for. The book contains text about Louis Vuitton's life and the progression of the company from a small boutique to the internationally-acclaimed fashion house it is today. The Louis Vuitton portion of the book also includes photos of early Louis Vuitton projects and commentary on the fashion at that time. The Marc Jacobs section of the book, however, elaborates on the era of experimentation on products brought on by Jacob's direction, rather than focusing to much on the company itself. Overall, this book is incredible and the photos are extremely glamourous. This book is definitely a "must buy" for any fashion lover, like myself, or anybody who appreciates photography. One thing I will say, though, is that the preview for this book is somewhat misleading, as there are much more photographs in the book than presented in the preview. ... show more

    • Louis Vuitton Marc Jacobs exhibition catalogue
Book clearly outlines history and evolution of Louis Vuitton company, products and family organization. It revealed facts I was not aware of such as how a fourteen year old young man, who could not read or write, invented a way to transport clothes for travelers in the 1800's and became a global business success. A remarkable story. The photos offer a view of a number of trunks and the quality of craftsmanship that led to their fame. The images demonstrate how the travel items were coded in a manner to signal to porters as to which traveler's bags to spot and carry. The coded images also created one of the most famous logos in the world. It makes a global enterprise seem more personal and allows one, surprisingly, to see that the snooty luxury trade stereotype does not always fit. A good discovery and read. ... show more

    • Color difference
Review Image by Madison Hornick Madison Hornick
The picture is slightly deceiving as far as the color goes. The cover is gold, but more of a bronze compared to the picture.

    • Louis Vuitton / Marc Jacobs
This is a nicely produced book focusing on the contributions of both Louis Vuitton and Marc Jacobs to the world of fashion. The book is divided into two sections, the first is devoted to the history of Louis Vuitton and its rise as a powerful label. The text is enhanced by several clear b&w photographs,rare archival materials, and some period advertisements. The second section focuses on the reign of Marc Jacobs, his creations and artistic collaborations. This section is mostly pictorial. The fashion shoots are clear, large and colorful, and they present a selection of Jacobs' creations and campaigns since he took the helm at Louis Vuitton. The book ends with a small section reproducing a selection of small photos highlighting the label's recent ad campaigns and fashion shows. The overall quality of the book is beautiful and it is a recommended addition to any fashion collection. ... show more
