Today sees the release of the first few images from the Louis Vuitton SS14 campaign. As you all know by now, this was the last season that Marc Jacobs was designing for the brand. The collection itself was dark, very dark indeed for a spring summer collection. However dark the clothes may have been, the brilliance of the collection was beautifully bright and forward thinking. And now we have in front of us, the first few pictures of the campaign advertising the final collection.
Just like the collection itself, the Louis Vuitton SS14 campaign images are dark. Yet again, the women starring back at us are some of the brightest stars in existence. Catherine Deneuve, Gisele Bündchen,Sofia Coppola, Fan Bingbing, Caroline de Maigret and Edie Campbell all star in the adverts to be released in February 2014 issues. According to WWD, these are the women that have acted as Marc Jacobs’ muses.
It is with great sadness that we look upon these ads. Of course it is the dawning of a new day with Nicolas Ghesquière stepping up to the plate at Louis Vuitton as the new creative director. But, it is also the moment we all say goodbye to a union that has brought Louis Vuitton into the 21st century like a raging bull in the fashion world. Marc Jacobs officially passes the torch and we’re all waiting for March to see what happens. {WWD}
