Louis Vuitton: The Trunk Show March 8, 2012

__Summary:__ There was a fashion show that Paris held for a week. The fashion show consisted of Louis Vuitton and Marc Jacobs creations. Both fashion designers had two main focuses. Louis Vuitton focus was to industrialization of the late 19th century in the form of briefcases and trunks. While Marc Jacobs main focus was to take the globalization of fashion from the early 21st century and make it into handbags, clothes, and shoes. Louis Vuitton is sold worldwide so that was the main purpose into why they cam up with their main focuses.

__Relevance:__ The economy, electronics, or people are not the only ways to spread others culture around the world. Fashion has become a big part on passing cultures around not just in America but also around the world. Louis Vuitton is a big company who was founded in a French Fashion House in 1854 by Louis Vuitton. Louis Vuitton has became a worldwide company an have brought different designers from other countries together to make handbags, clothes, shades and shoes to resemble their culture. Domenico Dolce and Steffano Gabbana are two worldwide designers who started their own fashion line called Dolce & Gabbana. The fashion line started in an Italian Luxury Industry Fashion House. The two worked together in the same fashion house in 1980. In 1982 the two found their own designer studio and they started working at designs. Their fist women collection was presented in 1985. The sales went good and a year later they opened up their own store called Dolce & Gabbana. Two years after they launched their swimsuit & summer line they started exporting their products to the U.S and other countries like Japan.

__Evaluation:__ The culture in many different countries helped big fashion designing companies be where they are now. Adding culture into the fashion designs is new and it’s away to show someone in America the culture in Italy. It’s a great way for people who aren’t into reading the news or studying other countries culture to figure out what their culture is. Designers from all over the world came to the Paris Fashion week just to see the different creations that the designers came up. Going to these grand fashion shows you learn something new without even knowing it. Being able to learn about someone’s culture by fashion is such a great way to bring everyone together.

__Questions:__ 1. Is fashion one way to bring people together? 2. Has fashion always been to bring cultures together? 3. Will making clothes based off of cultures become a big hit with other fashion designers?
