A tale of two creators
Musee des Arts Decoratifs in Paris is hosting a “Louis Vuitton-Marc Jacobs” exhibition until September 16.
The retrospective offers parallel stories of Vuitton, who found the luxury brand in 1854 and Jacobs, the company’s artistic director since 1997. It’s an in-depth look at the fashion industry during two decisive periods and is also a story of French craftsmanship, technological progress, stylistic creation and artistic collaboration.
The exhibition space, designed by Gainsbury and Bennett, is spread over two floors, each devoted to one of the creators.
