Created to accompany the exhibition of the same name at Les Arts Décoratifs in Paris (March 9 – September 16, 2012), the Louis Vuitton/Marc Jacobs book from Rizzoli is a fascinating publication that presents the roles two men have played in turning a small workshop in nineteenth-century Paris into one of the most successful and recognized brands in the world. By examining two divergent but often similar careers one hundred years apart, Louis Vuitton/Marc Jacobs is not only a layered study of the evolution of a luxury brand in the past 150 years but also a celebration of technical and design innovations in the new century.
