I have been meaning to share this with our readers since last September. Like with many other things, the bad habit of procrastination got in the way… in my own way, rather. However, today feels just right.
I must admit to ignorance, because prior to last September, I did not know of this wonderful French documentary. The title plainly reads Marc Jacobs & Louis Vuitton and offers the viewer intimate insights into the influential fashion genius that is Marc Jacobs. The setting is timed right before the Louis Vuitton Spring Fashion Show in 2007.
The 80+ minute documentary is a must-see for anyone who holds even the slightest interest in Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs or fashion in general. You learn about what drives Marc, the tedious process of designing a whole collection as Louis Vuitton’s creative director and the business of fashion in general.
Fortunately, the DVD is pieced up on Youtube for your instant viewing pleasure in 9 parts. While it is readily available on YT, I still urge you to order your copy from Amazon though, because a. you’ll get much better quality and b. don’t rob the creators of their deserved sales. It’s a no-brainer, really.
While you wait for the DVD to ship, here’s direct linkage to the nine parts on Youtube. Enjoy and we’d love to hear your feedback below!
Part #1 – Part #2 – Part #3 – Part #4 – Part #5 – Part #6 – Part #7 – Part #8 – Part #9

i think that MJ is a genius..and he’s handsome which never hurts 😉 I think he really re-invented LV..i love love love the re-editions of the classic speedy – which is timeless on its own – but he always manages to twist it in a fabulous way..and the collaborations with world famed visionary artists complete the artwork! love love love MJ!! I really love (my bank account too!) the fact that his mbmj line is quite affordable yet stylish and cool..as for now i only own a wristlet with “gems” that i adore and bring with me on the fun nights out..let’s hope i can add a family member!! (fb)

I borrowed my best friend’s copy of this documentary not too long ago, loved it! Marc is fascinating! I would love to see Loic Prigent’s other documentary on Chanel…and I think his most recent one follows Proenza Schouler. Thanks for posting this, now I’ll have to watch it again on YouTube!

It’s a great documentary and well worth spending money on. Everyone should!
Marc Jacobs in a pigeon suit! Love it! It’s so great to see talent at work. Talk about marching to the beat of your own drum. Keep at it all you fab designers! (fb)
great video, thanks for posting. gonna steal it from youtube myself and put it on facebook 🙂
i might be the only one but i found it rather boring (fb)
The whole MJ and LV thing was a shocker to me at first! I couldn’t believe Marc was part of it. Kinda sad, but I understand. (fb)
only the best from marc… and here’s the proof! (Fb)
Is this the same documentary that was on BRAVO? It was pretty good (fb)
LOVED IT… Thank you for telling us about it as I didn’t know. I love seeing any clue towards the creative process.
Marc Jacobs appears masterful, yet still in touch with his hard working sewing team. Can’t believe how late they are still working on runway items !!!
I had never seen this video! Its really interesting! Loved it! MJ is a GENIUS!
This is added to my list of favourite fashion documentaries, along with The September Issue. Thanks so much! (fb)
I will be watching this documentary this weekend. Marc is a genius! (fb)

I admire Mr. Marc Jacobs so much, i read so much about him by googling him and how he had inspired me to be who i want to be.. all my life been searching for a carreer that will be for me, that will allow me inspire and influence other people as well.. thats what i am doing now.. there is so much admiration that i have for him he is a genuise.. ‘(fb)’
I adore him. he’s such a genius.
MJ’s a visionary… his creations are always unique, whether you love it or hate it! (fb)
Marc is a genius-thanks for posting this (fb)
WOW! i cant help but adore him, its difficult to seperate your ideas from your own line of label and equally create a wonderful, new, brilliant colthes and bags for Louis Vuitton.. Does protein really helps to feed his brain cells, guess it does!!! and I really admire him.. How i wish that i will be able to do a job that i love so i dont need to isolate my life from work(quote Marc Jacobs) – ‘(fb)’
