Louis Vuitton S/S 2013 Paris

[FND74]

The non checkered stuff I love.

Someone should just change the title of the thread to "Marc Jacobs S/S 2013: A Continuation." I can't believe he gets away with using the same prints and silhouettes he used in his own show. I'm not remotely excited about this.

 

[Zazie]

Ugh, I missed the other shows that used the escalators. If so, then big deductions for PLAGIARISM, it seems a recurrent trait.

 

[GERGIN]

Well I don't mind the whole escalator theme since it works pretty nicely with the jet set of the clothes. I am surprised how closely this follows with his own collection however...but it's growing on my, I just LOVE the footwear and bags though.

 

[thiago:)]

The shoes are horrifying! The collection looks like one of those Armani's whose I could care the least Not exactly the collection itself (even though I can see some resemblance at the end of it) but the way it was presented.

 

[fantastical]

If you take aside the horrid checkered pieces and the horrid shoes, I think there's much to like here. The flower printed numbers are really great.

I agree, I am actually surprised by how much I like this. I can't wait to see how it will be translated into people's wardrobe and how they mix and match the pieces. Some of the coats I would die for.

But I can see how people think he is lazy in terms if his namesake show at NYFW and now this. I think this show was better in all accounts though.

Oh and btw Armani isn't the inventor of "twin" models nor does he hold a patent for being the only user of them. I don't understand the comparison there.

Ditto. Even the whole "Raf did the escalator thing first" is a bit tedious to hear...There's a purpose to this atmosphere, how idiotic people sound when they try to make an absurd comparison.

Marc is genious there is no doubt. I don't particulary fond with this collection as previous one but it was such a cute yet adorable. But what really caught my attention is the accessories they're mindblowingly cute.

 

[LabelWhore4]

Marc Jacobs message behind these presentation with the chess-board pattern is that he controls his bosses and people around him, and plays with them just like with the marionette, and chess-piece.

Brilliant analysis. You summed up his whole career into a neat and tidy pile. And both his collections this season sure are huge piles of something...

 

[KatherineCouture]

Haha, it looks funny! I like it.

Marc is an effin genius.

He took the house's bags print (damier) and had the models wear it. ALL OVER THE COLLECTION.

This is as fashion victim-y as you could get and IT WORKS!

I love love the elongated silhouettes, the small bags, the splash of yellow.

Best season Ive seen from LV in a while. Standing ovation!

 

[Shiru]

I do think that first half with the overwhelming checkers hurts to look at, but I love the way the pieces were cut and how the silhouettes look (I can see them if I squint at them hard enough ).

But overall, I love it! It's such a cute collection and I love every piece except for the checkered print, but that's just me.

 

[JessicaKarina]

Honestly seeing this in hq and looking at the detailed shots, makes me like this collection even less.

 

[simple_elegance]

Whyyyyyyyy...

 

[Deleted member 1957]

am dizzy from flipping through the collection..some nice pieces in the collection though

 

[KemAlnagdy]

i quite like it

 

[TREVOFASHIONISTO]

it's such a weird thing that Marc has yet to give the Louis Vuitton woman a true identity. She is someone different every season. One season she is mature the next she looks as if she wants to be a Marc Jacobs woman. Menswear (not designed by him) has such a clear direction in terms of who a Vuitton man is, but I don't think I like anything about this continuation of Marc Jacobs' Spring collection for his namesake line

 

[Crying Diamonds]

Probably the most underwhelming collection of the season, but I loved the presentation; that three-quarter shot of the escalators which made them look as if they went on forever.
Though I don't find it very exciting - the quality of Louis Vuitton will always speak for itself - the chequered jackets are exquisitely constructed as so all of the pocket flaps continue the pattern without a break, and are all constructed from the inside as so not even a stitchline breaks the pattern; and the same with the sleeves - they are cut as so the lines of the pattern are perfectly in line.
