Louis Vuitton Catwalk Book

Louis Vuitton was founded in 1854 as a luxury leather goods factory. For decades, it was one of the world's leading manufacturers of suitcases and accessories. However, after the launch of its first fashion collections in 1998, the house achieved unprecedented global fame, launching high-profile collaborations with artists such as Richard Prince, Takashi Murakami and Stephen Sprouse. This comprehensive publication begins with a brief history of the house, followed by short biographical profiles of Marc Jacobs, the first Creative Director, who worked between 1998 and 2014, and Nicolas Ghesquiere, who leads the brand today. After that, the collections are presented in chronological order.
