Marc Jacobs' Farewell to Louis Vuitton

After 16 years as the head of Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs took his final runway bow on Wednesday in Paris.  The show was everything a fashion insider could have asked for as a grand finale to an astounding and transformative time for the world renowned fashion house.  Revisiting some of the greatest theatrical sets from seasons past, the setting in the Cour Carrée du Louvre tent was perfect place to say goodbye.

While the clothes were, as always, stunning, it was the atmosphere that really set this one over the top for me.  It was nostalgic without feeling sad, inspired without feeling repetitive, and dark without feeling depressed.  From the carousel from Spring 2012 to the backward running oversized train station clock from Fall 2012, the escalators from Spring 2013, to the hotel hallway from Fall 2013, it was like a walk down memory lane that instantly reminded of just what a remarkable influence Marc has had on this brand.

I included some of my favorite shots from the show below and definitely encourage everyone to watch the full show here, it really is a work of art.  Marc's final word in the personal letter he left on each seat said "To the showgirl in all of us!", well here's to you Marc, thank you for the years of unforgettable fashion and cheers to the next chapter!
