Marc Jacobs & Louis Vuitton

The Sundance Channel recently aired “Marc Jacobs & Louis Vuitton,” a documentary I finally watched tonight rather than brave our first snow of the season. The film is awesome, with an upbeat and free spirited tone and, thankfully, it doesn’t take itself too seriously. Jump cuts, whimsical camera editing, and silly video effects infuse a doc I found both inspiring and informative; especially since I worked alongside a fashion designer for several years.

The director, Loïc Prigent, clearly enjoys exploring Jacob’s creative process, both house’s production challenges, and the insane pandemonium in the months, days, and finally minutes counting down to two fantastic Spring 2007 collections. The film showcases Jacobs’ numerous references and highlights how they are ultimately interpreted and remixed as well as featuring interviews with artistic collaborators and inspiring friends like Elizabeth Peyton, Sophia Coppola, Murakami and Yayoi Kusama.

    that was funny, yeah. i also liked all the rolling around on chairs, the fairy dust, and his pigeon costume. he seems like a fun dude and that it’d be rad to work along side him and witness his thought process on a regular basis.

    Dude, I loved Fabrizio Viti and the Donna Summer shoe fetish.
