Book synopsis

Known for both craftsmanship and must-have high design, Louis Vuitton the luxury house was started by its eponymous founder in 1854. The first half of this publication traces the innovations by Vuitton, who turned the little-known guild profession of emballeur (packer) into the foremost luxury trunk maker in Paris, with a clientele that included in his lifetime the French nobility as well as the elite of a prosperous empire. Prime and never-before-seen examples of Vuitton s craftsmanship, along with the fashion that went into them, are the highlights of these chapters. The second half of the book examines the role of Marc Jacobs as Louis Vuitton s creative director (since 1997), who took the Louis Vuitton house into a new era with a series of collaborations with artists and designers such as Takashi Murakami, Richard Prince, and Stephen Sprouse as well as designing a line of highly successful and desired clothing for the company.
