Thames & Hudson Louis Vuitton Catwalk Book

Founded as a luxury leather goods house in 1854, Louis Vuitton was for many decades one of the world's leading manufacturers of trunks and accessories. However, it was after the launch of its first fashion collections in 1998 that the house achieved 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, its first creative director from 1998 to 2014, and Nicolas Ghesquiere, who leads the brand today, before exploring the collections themselves, organized chronologically.

Each collection is introduced with a short text revealing its influences and highlights, and illustrated with carefully curated runway images. On display are hundreds of spectacular dresses, details, accessories, beauty looks and sets – and, of course, the supermodels who have worn them on the catwalk, from Naomi Campbell and Gisele to Kate Moss and Cara Delevingne. A rich reference section, including an extensive index, concludes the book.
