PARIS FASHION WEEK: LOUIS VUITTON COLLECTION FALL/WINTER 2008/2009 MENSWEAR RUNWAY REVIEW
January 19, 2008
For Fall/Winter 2008-09 the Louis Vuitton collection delved into an exploration of it’s masculine side.
Marc Jacobs and his right-hand man for menswear Paul Helbers took inspiration for the collection from 60’s robbery movies.

Even the color palette was inspired from old bank notes. Speaking of which, we wonder if that was cash stuffed in those bags. Probably not, but expect them to do well at retail as their Damier Graphite look is just the latest take on L.V’s iconic print.
We may have to get Danny Ocean and his boys to perform a heist for us to get our hands on those beautiful Damier Graphite print bags.
