Did anyone else notice that Marc is wearing the same tee shirt as he did during the Marc by Marc Jacobs show?

What was that for? Marc holds more interest than this collection he has created. I would have never expected this from Vuitton (and that's not the good "never would have expected" either). There are some nice pieces individually, but also a lot of it looks cheap and thrown together at the last moment. And God help me for saying this, but those Murikami bags (pitchforks out, lol) looked way better than those bags which so ingeniously spelled "LOVE" with the "LV" and those bags that looked like 80s cheap luggage. I just don't get it....
Right. I'm done.
The bags are serious-fug. I mean, you have to try to create crap that hideous.
They're definately running out of idea LoVe? Oh, wow, Marc, brilliant. The LoVe bags look fake too! As if they were designed by counterfeiters!

PARIS, October 8, 2006 – Dark clouds swirled ominously on a video backdrop. Then, in a defiant bid to shoot a ray of light into gloomy times, Marc Jacobs sent out his romantic-cum-sporty, casual-but-pretty Vuitton collection—motivated, he said, by his championing of "beauty, despite everything." A mattress-ticking anorak, over cropped white cotton drill pants and a funny cheapchecked shopping bag that carried a big, passport-style Louis Vuitton stamp, set the mood. As usual, though, this collection was a complex refraction of the many inspirational sparks that go into the work here: pieces synthesized to project the simultaneous multinational appeal this brand must maintain.
As it developed, the show patched in elements of Victoriana (corseted leg-o'mutton-sleeve jackets, cotton-muslin underpinnings) against oxford-blue men's shirting, sprigged Liberty-style prints, balletic tulle petticoats, and washed-out khaki parachute silks. Add the detail of puffy pockets, drawstring ruching, tape ties, and suspended shapes, and you have the laundry list, though not the complete essence of it. The X-factor is the Asia-facing appeal in all this prettiness. Jacobs and his team were in Tokyo for a Vuitton show last May, and while they were at it, they looked at the streets and took in some shopping at one of Japan's specialist figua stores, which sell hyper-lifelike child dolls clothed in complete wardrobes of faerie frills and flounces.
That reading delighted the junior Japanese fashion editors in the audience, who, like the girls back home, kill for the kawaii (trans.: cute) aesthetic Jacobs consistently fields so well at Vuitton. To Western audiences, meanwhile, the faded, watered-tea-to-dusty-rose tints and the hint of Meissen milkmaid skewed more Marie Antoinette aftermath. No disagreements, though. It was young and refreshing, and the multilingual signage in the bags and the shape of hollowed-out shoe heels flashed out loud and clear. "LV-OE," it read.

I agree. His aesthesic worked for LV for a few collections but now the brand needs some new direction; it needs to be classy and elegant and Parisian - not hobo, vintage, scrap, whatever you want to call it
sick: ).That vintage look works for Marc Jacobs and his lines but not for THE Parisian luxuxry brand
.Ugh...thought I stumbled by mistake onto a Tao/CdG thread.....trite frilly kitsch beyond words. I don't see the review as positive at all (considering that LV is an advertising heavyweight) but rather condescending, and agree with every word of it. This isn't a Parisian collection, it's a Harajuku collection.

No matter how crap it is, this is going to earn big bucks.
