class careers of luggage king Louis Vuitton and his successor Marc Jacobs
Old fashions: Louis Vuitton showed a canny knowledge of his clientele, who loved the glamour of the firstclass train travel and needed luggage that would protect their clothes on the long journeys
Both designers had
Vuitton started his career as a trunk packer for rich Parisians who were enjoying the vogue for firstclass train travel. He started his own brand of elite luggage label in 1854,[url=http://nikefree.mobilejeti.com]nike free sko[/url], which was still booming when the Orient Express launched three decades later.

Jacobs was a young boy with an eye
for fashion growing up in New York's Upper West Side, who lived with his
grandmother after his mother remarried several times.
Both also showed a flair for the marketing potential of fashion.

The exhibit features the huge 'Never
Full Bag', which Vuitton produced in 1870 to catch the eye of ladies who
thought nothing of taking 30 large cases of clothes on one trip.
In 2003, Jacobs showed an equally savvy
awareness for his target market by commissioning the Japanese artist
Takashi Murakami to revamp the iconic LV monogram, as well as working
with singer Kayne West.
Ms Golbin also pointed to shared challenges faced by the designers.
She said that Vuitton had to deal with the increasing industrialisation of the 19th century, while Jacobs had to take a traditional Parisian company and make radical changes for his world market, 'making fashion truly globalized for the first time'.
Ironically, Jacobs' creative innovation has bought the fashion house full circle.
In the show for his most recent collection, models wearing clothing that echoed turnofthecentury fashions arrived by an original Orient Express train and walked down the catwalk, accompanied by porters carrying their luggage.
