Are we going to lose Marc to Dior?
Since 1997 Marc Jacobs has been the creative designer for Louis Vuitton and has brought life to the aging company. Now with the rumor mills churning about his "most likely" heading up the Dior House, are we ready to let him go?

Les Arts Décoratifs to host exhibit in honor of Vuitton & Jacobs
Les Arts Décoratifs in Paris is hosting an exhibition dedicated to Louis Vuitton next year. The museum's curator plans to showcase dual periods in the House's illustrious history animated by two of its key figures: its namesake who started out as a trunk maker back in 1854 and Marc Jacobs. Jacobs is very proud of his work and recently revealed he will only put his name on things he believes in.
He said: "If we didn't believe in what we did, then I would feel that we sold out. As long as we do things with integrity and believe in them and are passionate, I don't think we've sold out. Whether it's an $11 flip-flop or a $2 key ring or a $2,000 dress, they're all done with integrity. They're all done with a design sense. As long as the creativity exists, then I don't think it's a sell-out. A sell-out is putting your name on any piece of crap and then expecting people to buy it because it's got your name on it. That's what a sell-out is to me."

Marc Jacobs and Robert Duffy Will Renew Their Louis Vuitton Contracts
It's just starting but, I mean, we both want to stay," Duffy said of the negotiations. "I don't think that's any secret. When two people want to renew their vows they do it usually.

"Breakfast in the Desert" Trunk
This is truly a Tuesday Trunk Tidbitz day. I thought the Cake Trunk was cool enough. Apparently, a Chinese gentleman has commissioned from Asnieres, which will produce anything within reason, a "Breakfast in the Desert" Trunk . The client "wanted to be able to watch television and offer coffee to his friends wherever he traveled in the world, including the remotest desert," LV's Patrick-Louis Vuitton recounts. "We agreed to put two solar panels linked to a battery for the flat-screen TV and DVD player, two-way radio, tuner and coffee machine." The trunk is covered in Damier Ebene with the usual red lining.
Interestingly enough, at last night's Met Costume Institute Gala, Marc Jacobs was quoted as saying that luxurious trunks are not likely to make a comeback. "I don't think there's anything practical about travelling with a trunk," Jacobs said. "Luxury travel is traveling with a toothbrush. That's it, end of story. The people who really live luxurious lives don't need to pack. They've got stuff wherever they go." Well said, MJ. Source: luxist.com

Two Become One
Yup, it's confirmed! Marc Jacobs and Lorenzo Martone has just announced their engagement. The two LVoebirds have been dating for about a year now (I think) as seen from my previous post. They have apparently gotten each other rings though no date yet has been set for the actual nuptials. Congratz, guys and here's wishing both of you TRUE LOVE.

Spring 2007 Runway Bags
Quite a few people e-mailed me and inquired about the bags that I was carrying during my recent trip to Miami. I usually announce a new purchase, but I wanted to surprise my friends so I didn't post them here. Well, the bags were both from the Spring 2007 Runway show. Most of you are familiar with the That's LoVe tote. This is the piece that takes 20 hours to hand sew the sequins onto the satin. The fabric is so fragile and light that I have to be extra careful when I use it.
The other one, which was the show stopper for the trip, of course after Jerome's Treillis and Arjay's Horizontal Lockit, is the Bowly from the Polka Dots Panama collection. The actual runway piece had bigger 'trunks and bags' circles whereas the one that was released for retail sported the smaller polka dots. The documentary by Loic Prigent entitled Marc Jacobs & Louis Vuitton (click here), has MJ brainstorming with his staff about "little bells, like lily of the valley's" hanging from bags. Also he had a meeting with Yayoi Kusama, a Japanese artist known for her ever-present polka dots on whose influence Marc got his idea to create the collection. 2007 was the year I got into LV so this runway show is very close to my heart. I had to scour far and wide to get these pieces and I truly LVoe them both! Thanks, guys!
