At Paris' Decorative Arts Museum, a story is being told. The story of the Louis Vuitton brand that dates back 130 years. The story of Vuitton's creative director since 1997, Marc Jacobs is also being told via an exhibit that covers a century of fashion and the history of a leading luxury brand.
The exhibit takes the visitor from the founder's humble beginnings as a case-packer to the fantastical runway shows that transformed the house into one of the world's biggest names, with a revenue last year of 2.5 billion euros. Though both men are from different centuries, the exhibition asks whether they have more in common than meets the eye. There's a small clue in the first room: portraits of the two men hang side by side, both sporting mustaches in the style of their age.source: Southern Missourian
