| Summary: | The French-based house of Louis Vuitton, creating luggage since 1854, has grown into an international symbol of luxury. In 1997, Marc Jacobs was appointed as creative director to develop the first ready-to-wear collection for the house. During his tenure, Jacobs has elevated the accessory brand into a must-see show on the ParisVideofashion: Designer Marathon Program Synopses fashion calendar and has attracted a notable celebrity following. Marc has also been successful in revamping the label’s famous accessories due to collaborating on handbag designs with contemporary artists such as Steven Sprouse, Takashi Murakami and Richard Prince. Marc’s designs continue to be admired on the runway, and he manages to consistently keep the Louis Vuitton label modern and covetable.
