Louis Vuitton and Marc Jacobs Take on Paris Mon, 6-Oct-2008
When Marc Jacobs teamed up with the fashion world of Louis Vuitton, everyone knew it was going to go above and beyond the world of fashion. The collection had two very separate and distinct styles. Marc Jacobs' off the wall designs combined beautifully with Vuitton's high fashion, making Paris the perfect place to show off the amazing line.
The line was full of inspirations from a 40's style, to an African feel, to even an Asian look. "We didn't look at a single specific reference," he stated prior to the big show. "It's just what we think of all this. I really believe more is just right." And he did indeed keep it more. Outfits were heavy with loads of accessories, feathers, sparkles, textures, fabrics, beads and the list of lists goes on and on. Jacobs' did not believe in the phrase, "less is more" for this show.
Everything was done big, even when the clothes were small. Tiny flippy skirts, cinched waists, glistening sweaters, big shoulder jackets, dressy wide leg trousers, jersey dresses, and even pajamas glammed up the models. The outfits looked like it had a large target audience from teens to adults. Grassy skirts reminded us that spring is not as far away as we think.
And everyone loved the bags! The bags were large and detailed with a great combination of Jacobs and Vuitton. They were durable, poufy shapes, radiant with random different fabrics, textures, and designs including metallics, python, and leopard spots. Just the side of genius fashion everyone had been wanting. |
