LOUIS VUITTON CATWALK
Description
Step inside the world of Louis Vuitton, a house that began in 1854 as a master of luxury trunks and leather goods, and has since become one of fashion’s most influential names. While its heritage is rooted in craftsmanship, it was the launch of its first ready-to-wear collections in 1998 that propelled the brand to new heights, redefining modern luxury and setting the stage for groundbreaking collaborations with visionary artists like Richard Prince, Takashi Murakami and Stephen Sprouse.
This definitive volume traces that journey. It opens with a concise history of the maison, followed by insightful profiles of Marc Jacobs, Louis Vuitton’s first artistic director who revolutionised the brand from 1998 to 2014 and Nicolas Ghesquière, the creative force leading today.
The collections unfold chronologically, each introduced with context on inspirations and key themes, brought to life through striking catwalk imagery. Page after page reveals not just the clothes, but also the details, accessories, beauty looks, set designs and the iconic models—Naomi Campbell, Gisele Bündchen, Kate Moss, Cara Delevingne, who gave them presence on the runway.
Richly illustrated and meticulously curated, the book closes with a comprehensive reference section and index, making it an essential keepsake for fashion lovers, design enthusiasts and collectors alike.
