A must-have for Louis Vuitton fans, fashion lovers and collectors, Louis Vuitton Catwalk: The Complete Collections is an official and authorised celebration of one of the world’s most influential luxury fashion houses. Bringing together decades of iconic collections in one beautifully illustrated hardback volume, this luxury fashion book makes a striking coffee table piece and a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves fashion history, catwalk design and the world of Louis Vuitton.
Founded as a luxury leather goods house in 1854, Louis Vuitton was for many decades one of the world’s leading trunk and accessories makers. It was after launching its first fashion collections in 1998, however, that the house reached unprecedented global fame, and pioneered high-profile collaborations with artists such as Richard Prince, Takashi Murakami and Stephen Sprouse.
This definitive publication opens with a concise history of the house, followed by brief biographical profiles of Marc Jacobs, the first creative director (1998–2014), and Nicolas Ghesquière, who helms the brand today, before exploring the collections themselves, organized chronologically. Each collection is introduced by a short text unveiling its influences and highlights, and illustrated with carefully curated catwalk images. Showcasing hundreds of spectacular clothes, details, accessories, beauty looks and set designs – and, of course, the top fashion models who wore them on the runway, from Naomi Campbell and Gisele to Kate Moss and Cara Delevingne. A rich reference section, including an extensive index, concludes the book..
