With all the 'will he, wont he' debates going on concerning Marc Jacobs and Dior in the last few months, its not hard to say that Marc Jacobs is one of the most powerful men in the creative industry at the moment. A statement that was cemented at the Louis Vuitton show this morning.
What could potentially be Jacobs last show if he were to move to Dior was an array of beautiful dresses of pastel pinks, greens and yellows with oversized doily collars (reminding me of Cinderella for some reason). There was a definite late 50's/early 60's influence hear, the attitude of the clothes were carefree and could only be described as 'tidy and polite'.
Unlike most shows, the models here didn't walk down a runway, they strutted around a huge carousel (Chanel 2008 anyone?) carrying the statement handbags that Louis Vuitton is so well know for, with cute tiara's on top of their neatly done hair.
Most of the dresses were razor cut lace with added detailing such as applique flowers and feathers that were coloured deeper the further down the dress. For the finale Kate Moss worked her way around the catwalk in an intricate white mini dress with a full volumised skirt and white pointed courts. Whilst being slammed for smoking a cigarette on last years show, she personally requested to do the show, to which Jacobs replied 'Why not'.
