Louis Vuitton - Marc Jacobs: The Exhibition

This is such an exciting post I can barely contain myself.  I have always wanted to go to Paris, France and it looks like this is the push I needed to get on a plane and go.  From March 9th to September 16th at Les Arts Décoratifs, The Louis Vuitton - Marc Jacobs: The Exhibition will be taking place.  OMG, two of my fav brands/designers in one place!  The Exhibition focuses on Jacob's 15 year journey as Louis Vuitton's head designer, as well as the history behind Louis Vuitton and Marc Jacobs.
To quote Les Arts Decoratifs "This exhibition tells the stories of two men, Louis Vuitton and Marc Jacobs (artistic director of LV), and will highlight their contributions to the fashion world. How did they succeed in taking the pulse of their respective periods to innovate and take an entire industry forward? How did these two personalities, each with their own language, appropriate cultural phenomena and codes to write the history of contemporary fashion? An analysis rather than a retrospective, this parallel Vuitton-Jacobs comparison will provide new insight into the fashion system during its pivotal periods, beginning with its industrialisation and ending with its globalisation, focusing also on its artistic professions and crafts, technological advances, stylistic creations and artistic collaborations. It will also be homecoming for Louis Vuitton, who set up shop only a stone’s throw from the Louvre, the home of his first great patron, Empress Eugénie. Over a century separates Louis Vuitton and Marc Jacobs, but both come together in the excellence of their creativity."
