Marc Jacobs

Marc Jacobs's last Louis Vuitton show, Spring 2014, the Louvre, Paris, October 2, 2013 Jacobs turned his last show into a greatest-hits set, filling the space with pieces of earlier Vuitton runways in inky black: a dark fountain, a carousel of surreal horses, a twin escalator and a hotel elevator. It felt like a designer walking through his own memories of the house. LVMH announced shortly afterward that he was stepping down as creative director, closing an influential 16-year run. Jacobs partly dedicated the show to Anna Wintour, and her standing ovation capped the tenure.
