Louis Vuitton Textiles for Fall 2012

The more time I spend looking at Louis Vuitton's Fall 2012 collection, the more I love it. What is not to love about the rich hues, beautiful silhouettes, detailed embellishments, and intricate textiles? This week I will be focusing on the textiles that Marc Jacobs utilized. I will show you the photos of the complete look, as well as what inspired them.

 

For my first look, which I found in Louis Vuitton's accessories, was inspired by the fur on animals and fur vests. I call this trend, 'Dog Days.'





 

 

                                           

The Fur trend from Louis Vuitton's Fall 2012 collection seems to have been inspired by animal fur or from the popular fur vest. This textile trend was used for the accessories line. There are two different satchel style bags and they are featured in colors such as; white, gray, red, brown with a marigold hue, brown with peach hue, and navy blue.

In addition for textile trends from Louis Vuitton's Fall 2012 collection, I call this trend, 'Going Marbles.'

 

 

For this trend, you must look at the finer details of the design in order to see it. These designs originally reminded me of a coat of armor because of the cage like design. If you look closely at the patchwork details, you can see that in between the squares there are clear beads placed in the middle. These beads are very intriguing to the eye. They give this dress, shirt, and skirt sculpture and add shape. With the lighting, they also have a beautiful reflection.

 

 

What every design house needs is a person like Marc Jacobs. He is a creative genius because he is able to think outside of the box, as you can tell from his usage of textiles.
