Founded in 1854 as a luxury leather goods house, Louis Vuitton became a leading trunk and accessories maker for decades. Global fame surged after its first fashion collections launched in 1998, marked by pioneering collaborations with artists like Richard Prince and Takashi Murakami. This publication begins with a concise history of the brand. It then presents biographical profiles of Marc Jacobs, the first creative director (1998-2014), and Nicolas Ghesquiere, the current creative director. The collections are explored chronologically, each introduced by text detailing its influences and highlights, and accompanied by curated catwalk images.
