Louis Vuitton Marc Jacobs

More of an analysis of their contribution to fashion and less of a retrospective, this exhibition tells the stories of two giants in the world of design, Louis Vuitton and Marc Jacobs. While more than a century separates Vuitton and Jacobs, there are amazing parallels in the way they’ve influenced the industry. A must-see for fashionistas and those who just appreciate good design.
