Marc Jacobs' farewell show to Louis Vuitton was a triumphant one. The fashion businessman had installed sixteen years of work into the iconic brand. He took the company from a luxury baggage brand and expanded it into an empire full of acclaimed clothing and shoes while keeping the brand's signature pieces. Sadly enough, this was his last collection. He sent out a farewell letter to all those that attended saying that his inspiration was the showgirl, and how each and every one of the women that had inspired him over the years was one. It could be clearly seen that this is what inspired Marc Jacobs. An enormous black enamel fountain spewed water dramatically near a blacked out carousel with "Louis Vuitton" sprawled across it. Each of the women wore dark headdresses made of massive exotic bird feathers that truly showed the "showgirl." The first look to kick off this spectacular was a transparent body suit that had "Louis Vuitton Paris" written in black and bold letters, covering the model's body. The model's arms were wrapped in a glittery rope, and a silver mask adorned her headdress. The show continued with little black dresses laced with structured decorations that served as a boarder for parts that were highlighted in each specific look. The collection also included denim that was rolled to show off black boots, and embellished black leather jackets. Other beautifully dark and romantic pieces included heavily ornamented dresses and leggings, as well as the business jackets shown towards the end of the collection.
