As it's become some sort of tradition, Marc Jacob's creations for Louis Vuitton were amongst the other designers' that closed Paris Fashion Week and the month of international fashion extravaganza. Jacob's joined the group of designers that took the most famous silhouette of the 1930's and forwarded it into our time making a stop somewhere between the 50's and the 60's. Comparisons, hence, of Louis Vuitton and previously shown collections is unavoidable. However, the success of similar viewpoints such as Prada seem somewhat incomparable to Marc Jacob's. The American designer resumes his praise-hoarding more for the fame of his name than for his work. But then again, we are becoming quite acquainted with that phenomenon watching it happen to Lagerfeld and Galliano.
Jean Paul Gaultier, who somehow removes himself from the fashion circus of fame, delivered yet another take on the Hermès classicism. The references to a Saville Row world are inescapable as is the fact that Gaultier tackles the problem of creating recession-concious garments that still stir the audience and push the brand forward.
