Louis Vuitton / Marc Jacobs: In Association with the Musee Des Arts Decoratifs, Paris

This fascinating account presents the roles two men have played in turning a small workshop in 19th-century Paris into one of the most successful and recognized brands in the world. By examining two divergent but often similar careers 100 years apart, the book is not only a layered study of the evolution of a luxury brand in the past 150 years but also a celebration of technical and design innovations in the new century.
