The Louis Vuitton SS 2014 campaign is significant for a number of reasons; it signals Marc Jacobs final farewell from the luxury fashion house, and it also honors the leading ladies that inspired him. The advertisements, shot by Steven Meisel, feature a series of powerful, stylish women as well as the Noé bag. Catherine Deneuve, Sofia Coppola, Gisele Bundchen, Fan Bingbing, Caroline de Maigret and Edie Campbell lend their gorgeous faces for the designers’ spectacular envoi.
Many of these influential ladies have been involved in the brand in the past: Deneuve and Bundchen have made appearances in the advertisements over Jacob’s 16-year run, and Coppola even designed a bag for the brand back in 2009.
Jacobs has left some big shoes for his successor, Nicolas Ghesquière. His last hurrah serves as a celebration of iconic women.
