Louis Vuitton entered the world of luxury goods in 1854, starting out in the departments of luggage and trunks; to which they later expanded to a wider range from shoes to clothing. With its iconic logo, LV, Louis Vuitton is one of the most well-known fashion houses.
Marc Jacobs, on the other hand, opened its first boutique in 1997, but it was in 2008 that the brand took off, beginning a world wide open house (in places such as Japan, Russia, Korea, and China). Though new to the scene, compared to older fashion houses, Marc Jacobs is taking the industry by storm with its rising popularity.

This season for its Spring 2011 Ready-to-Wear collection Louis Vuitton channeled bits and pieces of ‘Chinatown’ with its choice of fabrics, the mandarin collars, fan accessories, slit and sleeve designs, and Chinese styled button (knot) closures. In contrast, for this spring, Marc Jacobs channeled the 70s with prints and patterns, wide-legged pants, and mix-matching knitwear. Both shows were somewhat high in contrast, considering the displayed inspiration form the collections. To put it bluntly, one was embodied tidbits of the east (Louis Vuitton) and the other (Marc Jacobs), tidbits of the west. Nonetheless, though both shows were different and held splashes of color, similarities can be found. Similarities can be found in their drop waist designs, halter dresses, shiny fabrics (which can be satin or a close cousin), and see-through fabrics. Though both brands have a big separation in the age department, the two are different, yet similar, and possess a massive common denominator, Marc Jacobs. The designer for Marc Jacobs, Marc Jacobs, is also the designer for Louis Vuitton.
