More an invitation to analysis than a traditional retrospective, the parallel stories of Vuitton and Jacobs permit an in-depth look at the fashion industry during two decisive periods, one beginning with Nineteenth-Century industrialization and the other peaking in Twenty-First-Century globalization. Theirs is also a story of french craftsmanship, Technological progress, stylistic creation, and artistic collaboration.

Louis Vuitton Marc Jacobs é uma história de duas personalidades e das suas contribuições para o mundo da moda: Louis Vuitton, fundador da casa Louis Vuitton em 1854 e Marc Jacobs, o seu director artístico desde 1997. Dois inovadores, ambos arraigados nos respectivos séculos, que fizeram avançar toda a indústria. Dois criadores, cada um com a sua própria língua, que se apropriaram de códigos e tendências culturais para escrever a história da moda contemporânea.

Mais um convite à análise do que um retrospectiva tradicional, as histórias paralelas da Vuitton e de Jacobs permitem um olhar profundo sobre a indústria da moda durante dois períodos decisivos, um que começou com a industrialização do século XIX e o outro que atingiu o auge durante a globalização do século XXI. É também a história do artesanato francês, dos progressos tecnológicos, das criações estilísticas e
das colaborações artísticas.
