DVD Reviews of Marc Jacobs & Louis Vuitton (Full Sub)
DVD Review: Provocative Fashion Force
Summary: 4 Stars
'Fashion is just a job,'' Marc Jacobs says in Lo?c Prigent's documentary about Marc Jacobs & Louis Vuitton. The usually shy Marc Jacobs agreed to this documentary and gave great access to Mr Prignet. Marc Jacobs in this film comes across as a really likable, extremely talented young man. He appears to be a health fanatic from all of the vitmins and minerals and health food he eats. At the same time, you would be hard pressed not to find him with a lit cigarette at all times. His daily schedule looks like a constant grind. In this film we see how Jacobs goes from an inspiration to the commercial product. One fascinating scene shows us Marc Jacobs in a meeting with polka-dot artist Yayoi Kusama. And, soon thereafter we see the candy-colored dots in Vuitton's spring '07 line. In 1997, Jacobs was appointed Creative Director of luxury French fashion house, Louis Vuitton, where he created the company's first ready-to-wear line. An odd coupling, yes, but it has proved to be very successful.
Most of us have heard of Marc Jacobs. Certainly, the young group knows him as the most influential and interesting contemporary American designer. He is slight of build, but beaming with energy, as he eats his protein bars and drinks his bottled water. Everywhere, in every country, bottled water was on the counter, desk, airplane rest and table. You might think in France you would see coffee, or cafe, but, no, the bottled water appears as if in a vision. The film allows us a peek into the design and production process. We watch a roomful of people designing and presenting inspiration boards and collages. Marc Jacobs takes an old acrylic purple sweater from the 70s and inspires a new cashmere version. We see the workshops operating at a frantic pace to get the collection ready. Seamstresses go without sleep and then an assistant works feverishly to finish a dress and then rides a motorcycle across town with the dress as the show begins.
We get to see Marc Jacobs at art museums buying an eclectic mix of art. The art adorns his walls at his work place and at home. We have a glimpse of his home, very modern and in the Japanese format. He tends to wear casual clothing, tee shirts, they may be hand made, but who knows? His good friend and business partner, Robert Duffy joins him in many scenes. In 1984, Robert Duffy, then an executive at the Ruben Thomas sportswear company, hired Mr. Jacobs to design a collection called Sketchbook; Mr. Duffy and Mr. Jacobs have continued to work as partners
This is a very entertaining film of the fashion world. The down to earth business of making fashions. Whatever, Marc Jacobs designs, he seems to be a favorite of the rich and famous. We see his famous friends and they fawn all over him, as they would any fabulous designer. But, he is able to maintain his privacy and is always a little bit removed. The people he works with love him, many have been with him for years. Watch for the labels and the name- Marc Jacobs will be with us for a long time to come.

DVD Review: Why is he Top Dog!?!
Summary: 2 Stars
This documentary says Marc Jacobs is like the Eminem or Tiger Woods of fashion. I thought his fashions were tacky and unwearable. His undies was always showing when he walked anywhere. Like many documentaries on fashion designers, this never mentions that Jacobs is a rainbow flag man. I wonder if there is bigotry in the industry and what has he done to challenge it. It was nice to see his creative process and what goes on behind the scenes. I mean, if you liked Mizrahi's "Unzipped," then you can enjoy this. Still, I don't understand why any woman would want to be seen with this guy's clothes or purses. Tacky!DVD Review: "A Recorded Life" in Fashion and Art
Summary: 5 Stars
special note to Marc Jacobs: Thank you for sharing your life with the public.
The quality of the documentary was phenomenal. He lets the camera into his life showing how he collaborates and creates designs for LV and the Marc Jacobs. The thing that I did learn is how important going to the museums and the art shows are important to him. The other item that shines is that his team are very happy to work with and for him and that clearly is a component of his success. Like they say there is no I in Team.
The DVD Includes a bonus track of approx 62 minutes.
I will never look at his products the same. Bravo........
DVD Review: Great Documnetary, If You're A Fashionista...
Summary: 4 Stars
I think this a must watch documentary for any fashionista, high couture lover, a fan of Marc Jacobs and Louis Vuitton, or simply love watching the creative process behind the scenes in the fashion world.
Marc Jacobs is considered a fashion genius and he not only has success with his own fashion label, but he is also designs for the Louis Vuitton fashion line as well.
This documentary shows what it is like behind the scenes in the high end fashion world. We see Marc Jacobs in the process of creating new designs for his own line as well as for Louis Vuitton. We see how a fashion show comes together. Plus a little bit about Marc Jacobs himself.
The world of high end, fashion design seems to be very stressful. I am not that creative when it comes to fashion or have the artistic eye for creating high end fashion... I am not even sure I understand the full depth of Marc Jacobs artistic talent/genius, but at least I feel this documentary shed some light into the world of high end fashion.
DVD Review: inspirational
Summary: 4 Stars
im starting to design again and thought I'd check this out.. and am glad I did. It was pretty inspirational and it was cool to see how one of the greatest designers of our times gets his ideas from. i actually rented it from netflix first before I bought it.. but I think it's a great collection to have especially if you are a fashion designer!
