Today the
world of fashion bid farewell to the legendary Marc Jacobs at this seasons
Paris Fashion week. The 50 year old artists is not retiring but simply leaving
the LVMH brand to concentrate on his own
self-titled label. After 16 years behind the helm of the iconic luxury monogram
brand, Jacobs leaves in what seems to be a bud to prepare for his own company
to go public.
Jacobs is
best known for taking the luxury luggage brand and diversifying to read y to
wear lines, shows and their signature LV monogrammed bags and purses. His final
hoorah at the Paris show today saw a collection reminiscent of his most iconic
runway moments at Louis Vuitton, with nuances of vintage escalators, water
fountains, influences from his street like graffiti collections and his most
sensational collaborations with queen of polka dots, Yayoi Kusami (featured in
the picture), all in shades of black.
With the
Parisian powerhouse, Prada, Going public in June of 2011 and managing to raise
well over 2 billion dollars, there’s reason to believe that there are people
out there who would like to own a piece of this luxurious, somewhat exclusive
brand, especially since the Marc Jacobs label still appeals to many despite the
niche market pricing. Heres looking forward for whats to come from not only the
Jacobs Stable of fashions, but also what new point of view will be dreamt into
reality from !
So who will
it be who plots the course for the Louis Vuitton label? Will rumours be true
and have former Balenciagas’ Nicholas Ghesquire be the captain of our dream
boat? I guess we will have to wait and see, but for now, go ahead and like our
facebook page, follow us on twitter and watch this space for more fabtastic
fashion and beauty…
