Marc Jacobs\u00a0leaves\u00a0Louis Vuitton\u00a0after 16 years as creative director, it is official news that the new creative director of maison will be Nicolas Ghesqui\u00e8re<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The last memorable fashion show of the designer as creative director of Louis Vuitton is staged at Louvre<\/b> Museum in Paris. \u00a0On entering the show space, guests were told they were about to attend “a celebration, not a retrospective”<\/b>, but this was hard to believe. The extravagant display included all the highlights of the designer\u2019s previous catwalk shows, but in a monochromatic version: a nightmarish carousel with inky horses, a dark fountain, moving lift shaft and escalators and lambskin carpeting in the house’s damier check. \u201cWe went back<\/b> and used all the different bits of the sets of the past and made them black,\u201d Jacobs explained backstage.<\/p>\n

This was a show about emotion<\/b>, not clothes. When the huge train station clock\u00a0 which hung at the back of the catwalk started ticking backwards, the music rose and the first model appear, wearing only a sheer bodystocking decorated with the famous Stephen Sprouse<\/b> graffiti for the label and a 5-foot-tall feather headpieces that echoed Native American themes.<\/p>\n

After this dramatic overture everything went black: for each piece of clothing of the 41 designs that followed, no other color was showcased, the only exception being some 1940s baggy blue jeans.<\/p>\n

Different decades were quoted: the white, severe hair and make-up was almost Victorian, while the tunic dresses<\/b>, demure in their floor-length and crew neck, evoked the 1920s<\/b>. But this Dickensian scenery was strangely but perfectly offset by eighties-inspired pieces<\/b> such as short, boxy blazers, embroidered stockings, tough boots <\/b>and biker jackets<\/b>.\u00a0Each garment was rich in details, with micro nets, polka dots, feathers, sequins and diamantes juxtaposed to create layers.<\/p>\n

Marc Jacob\u2019s goodbye to Louis Vuitton was also a love letter to Paris<\/b>, as he explained:\u00a0“Black to me is the color of the chicest women in Paris<\/b>, it’s Juliette Gr\u00e9co, it’s Fran\u00e7oise Hardy, it’s \u00c9dith Piaf in a little black dress, it’s the left bank of Paris. It seemed like the chicest way to show all these dazzling textures\u201d.<\/p>\n

The show notes were dedicated to all the women who inspire Jacobs and rather dramatically to “the showgirl in all of us”.\u00a0One of his muses, U.S. Vogue editor Anna Wintour<\/b>, gave Jacobs an ovation: \u201cFashion needs rock stars, and they don\u2019t come any starrier than Marc at Louis Vuitton,\u201d<\/b> she told \u201cHe has always understood that it is a house about travel, and every season he has taken us on incredible journeys with his spectacular shows\u201d.<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t know where this journey will take Marc Jacobs, but no matter where he lands, we\u2019re sure he\u2019ll keep making us dream, as he has done until now.<\/p>\n
