In 1997, American designer Marc Jacobs assumed the creative leadership of Louis Vuitton, leaving an indelible mark during his 16-year tenure characterized by a blend of sophistication and rebellious flair. Notably, his Spring/Summer 2001 collection, a collaboration with Stephen Sprouse, introduced graffiti elements that disrupted the traditional Louis Vuitton aesthetic.
As Louis Vuitton ventures into 2024, the fashion house is revisiting Jacobs’ influential era with the introduction of the LV Remix collection. This collection pays homage to Jacobs’ lasting influence, featuring a campaign starring Phoebe Dynevor, Lous & the Yakuza, Shay Mitchell, and Nana Ouyang. The collection unveils leather goods, footwear, and accessories infused with Y2K aesthetics.
The 2000 Monogram Vernis collection makes a vibrant comeback, incorporating youthful details and bold backgrounds. The LV girls are showcased on metal swings, adorned with revamped Croissant, Capucines East-West, and Twist West bags, featuring chic denim fabrics and versatile straps. Louis Vuitton’s low-slung heels and chunky sneakers boast a soft denim monogram, while belts, caps, and bucket hats complement the collection with vintage inspirations and fringed accents. The LV Remix collection is a nostalgic nod to the past, celebrating Jacobs’ innovative vision that continues to resonate with contemporary style.
