The Homeless Teen Who Created Louis Vuitton

  • Louis Vuitton is a household name, and one of the most famous brands in the world. But do you know the story of the house, which is steeped in war, greed, fashion, leather, canvas, and more? We begin our story detailing the life of Louis Vuitton himself, a young man from the French countryside who becomes a master trunk maker, and innovator of the travel essential in the 1800s. After his passing, his family begins to reinvent the brand to represent Louis Vuitton himself, as well as travel and luggage trends throughout the 1900s as well. Corporate infighting ensues, and eventually, Bernard Arnault, the now owner of LVMH, Louis Vuitton's parent company, effectively takes over the brand in the late 1980s. He eventually brings in Marc Jacobs to design for the house's first fashion line, and Marc brings culture and art to the house. Artists like Takashi Murakami, Stephen Sprouse, and Yayoi Kusama do collaboration collections with Louis Vuitton, under Marc's supervision. Kim Jones, now the designer of Dior Men and Fendi Womens, creates a blockbuster hit with his Supreme X Louis Vuitton collaboration collection. Eventually, Nicolas Ghesquière & Virgil Abloh join the mix and reinvent the house in their image as well. Vuitton's history is full of drama, deception, and iconic fashions, many you'll have to watch to see!

    The "coffee table" that has been in my family room my entire life is very clearly a trunk. It is made of wood has locks and can be opened. A few years ago my mom discovered it was a Louis Vuitton trunk. We know it is a Louis Vuitton trunk because even though it does not have the classic logo on it it does have the Louis Vuitton label on the bottom. We do not know when it is dated too but both of us believe that it can be dated to the 1800s. Knowing how old this trunk might be is incredible. It is in great condition and honestly shows how these things were made to last.

    The iconic Louis Vuitton monogram’s icons are actually from a church that has the icons on its walls. And the letters LV was added to make it a complete monogram. I read this in a pottery barn LV history book somewhere, but I can’t find any pictures of the church with the icons online

    Baguette here and I see you making an effort with the french names, you were pretty spot on almost all of them, except for Nicolas Ghesquière, which is still a bit off but I see that you really tried and it's a bit of an unfair name, I think only baguettes would be able to say that 100% correctly. Still, good job on all the others (and there were a lot) so take this as encouragement because I still remember the Jeanne D'arc Alexander McQueen video hahaha, you've progressed a lot. Bon travail Luke !
