Louis Vuitton

Marc Jacobs made public transport absolutely stylish at Paris Fashion Week by delivering his beautiful models and their beautiful clothes on a sumptuous, little train.

It was a natural approach to take, indeed in 1858 Louis Vuitton introduced his flat trunks with trianon canvas that were very successful and prestigious.

As for the collection, it is as inspired and exceptionally crafted as ever.  Completely imaginative, highlighting all that is beyond compare about history and all that is essential in style and fashion today.
