Louis Vuitton Spring 2009

Everyone is talking about Louis Vuitton's Spring collection this year. And rightly so. The scene was crazy, and the emotions were high. Ah yes, Marc Jacobs' genius was surely out on full display for all of us revelers (as if we hadn't already noticed). As he tromped his girls one after the other down the runway to classic Parisienne tunes, it was both shocking and exciting--the attitude, the punch. From the polka dots to the feathers, from the sky high shoes to the African Bracelets and the teensy structured jackets, it seems both crammed with detail, and yet perfectly positioned. There was nothing all that was not fantastical, and nothing too far from the Champs Ellysees either.

Jacobs, who is now being compared to a young Yves Saint Laurent, with the potential to blow all of his contemporaries and critics away with the '09 collection, seemed to exude an and artistic infusion in this collection that has been unseen thus far. Fall 2007 was the closest thing to this type of extravagance, what with some feathered hems and tousled hats, furry pulls overs and chunky stones, but it was almost as if the designed was still keeping himself slightly at bay. Now in his 12th year, Jacobs seems to be settling into the fact not only can he spread his wings at Marc Jacobs, but that we all accept and actually crave his complete influence rectified on Louis Vuitton too. Was that Pietro Beccari, Yves Carcelle, and Antoine Arnault that I saw smiling like a group of proud papas after the show? Oh I think it was!
