The Louvre and Louis Vuitton


I hope you're all having a great weekend.  My mom was asking me some questions about my blog and asked me if I had seen the Fall 2012 Louis Vuitton runway show.  I had to admit, I hadn't heard about it, so I was amazed when I saw the photos of the show.  Louis Vuitton has always been one of my favorite brands, but after all the pairing Marc Jacobs does with them, it's no wonder my jaw dropped after hearing the details of the show.

The show began with an actual vintage locomotive pulling into the Louvre "station" complete with steam and everything.  The next thing we see is porters escorting the gorgeous women off the train with their fabulous bags in hand.  The bags we know are always amazing, but what about the clothes?  There were "A-line silhouettes, ... tall, deep-brimmed, expression-concealing hats...a myriad of jackets, often in glittery fabrics, with oversize jeweled buttons, severe, sleeveless A-line coats, square-necked Empire waist dresses in Lurex."  So, we have the perfect combination of vintage and contemporary.  Vogue even said it resembled Prada's new collection.  So, prepare yourselves for this gorgeous trend ladies.

Fashion Friday Marc Jacobs

Marc Jacobs (Via)

Why does it seem that often the best designers for women are men?  Marc Jacobs is one of my favorite designers, so I thought it was time to feature him on my favorite day--Fashion Friday!  Lately, I've been finding myself drawn more and more to MJ handbags and cases (laptop, etc.).  I even just purchased a new bag in fudge.  It's gorgeous!


Marc Jacobs was born in 1963, and is an American fashion designer.  He grew up in New Jersey.  Jacobs studied at Parsons School of Design and began his career at Perry Ellis.  He continued designing, working for several companies, until he formed his own collection in 1994.  


In 1997, Marc became the creative director of Louis Vuitton.  He continues to hold this position as well as owning his own lines.  He has his hand in practically everything--clothing, shoes, bags, perfume, jewelry, and even sunglasses.  







Do you own anything by Marc Jacobs?  What's your favorite piece?  I'd love for you to link up with me today, but please, please, please follow the "rules."  If you link up, take the button and link back so others know where to link up.  Also please make sure to leave a comment so I know you were here.  If you add a link that isn't relevant to Fashion Friday, I will have to delete you so please don't make me do that...I hate being mean.  Have a great Friday friends!  


Also, don't forget today is the last day to enter my fabulous giveaway!  I'll be announcing the winner tomorrow!
