Marc Jacobs & Louis Vuitton (Full Sub) (2007) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I only knew of Marc Jacobs as a designer favored by the rich and famous. Since I'm not one of them, I never expected to learn much about him other than the ads I see in magazines and browsing his boutiques.
Enter this documentary...Marc Jacobs & Louis Vuitton. I just expected a video about the Marc Jacobs Label and how the partnership with Louis Vuitton was developed, etc..... Instead, what I saw was a rich, visual story about a passionate designer who is truly an artist. One who chooses to use fashion to express his creativity. OK, so there is a certain amount of marketing and capitalism hanging onto the apron strings of MJ's name. However, this documentary does show Marc as an artist seeking to get to the next level of his creativity, yet he is seeking to find acceptance as an artist.
MJ is a designer with two major labels, his own and Louis Vuitton. I got the sense that this man, who is this incredible designer/artist, is in a way caught in the prison of his own creativity. It's one Ready to Wear collection after another.
This documentary is a must see. It really is a rare glimpse inside the world of MJ - the bonus is a rare glimpse into the creative side of LV as well.
