Marc Jacobs & Louis Vuitton (2007)

With great energy and panache, fashion designer Marc Jacobs established himself as one of the most original minds in haute couture during the early 21st century. Time and again, Jacobs consistently broke new ground with innovative and idiosyncratic designs that carried fashion per se off in unanticipated directions. Jacobs did much of this work under the aegis of fashion conglomerate Louis Vuitton, fulfilling its many taxing obligations even as he charted new waters with his own eponymous label. The documentary Marc Jacobs and Louis Vuitton both etches out a biographical profile of Jacobs and provides candid, unrehearsed glimpses of Jacobs caught up in the throes of creative invention. Interviewees include: Catherine Deneuve, Uma Thurman, Sofia Coppola, and many others. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi
