| MARC JACOBS & LOUIS VUITTON |
| France/2007/Betacam/colour/81 min/french, english, s.-t,. french | |||||
 Marc Jacobs (b. 1963), the most influential stylist of his generation, works on two fronts: for his own line in his Soho studios, and as creative director of the Parisian design house Louis Vuitton. The contrast is striking between the rigorous structure of the latter, the world's number one luxury house, and the laid-back personality of Marc Jacobs. In 1998 Jacobs created Vuitton's first ready-to-wear line, while revolutionizing luxury collections with his collaborations with artists. The diversity of his muses, his system of inspiration, his cosmopolitan and uncomplicated work methods are diametrically opposed to Parisian traditions. But it works! This film was shot during the final preparations of a Vuitton show at the Petit Palais: the studios are in turmoil and Marc Jacobs is nearing the melting point. Interspersed throughout are interviews with those close to the designer, including Sofia Coppola and Anna Wintour, the famous editor of Vogue USA, as well as diamond merchant John Reinhold and painter Elisabeth Peyton. Biography Born in Brittany in 1973, Loïc Prigent makes documentaries and news reports, in addition to directing the weekly program Metropolis for ARTE. Filmography Signé Chanel ; Hollywood, le royaume des séries ; La vraie vie des blondes. |  |
