Louis Vuitton Outlet Store

This morning the fashion world got all sorts of excited with the official announcement from Louis Vuitton that former Balenciaga designer louis vuitton australia will replace the departing Marc Jacobs as artistic director.

You may be thinking, "So what, I can't even begin to afford anything from Louis Vuitton. " I get it. I can't either. But I swear this is such fabulous news for anyone who just likes to observe fashion and artistry and drama of the sartorial kind.

Plus, there's the whole trend trickle down -- though I swear I'm not giving some sort of xoJane version of the brilliantly-delivered by Meryl "cerulean blue" speech from "Louis Vuitton".

But let's take a break and watch it again just for fun!

Okay, but seriously it was going to be hard to replace Marc Jacobs. He revitalized the house. But Nicolas Ghesquière is the perfect choice and here's why I'm psyched:

The first thing many people think of when they hear the words "Louis Vuitton" is bags. And what Marc did with those famous louis vuitton bags really helped put Louis Vuitton back on the modern fashion map.

Stephen Sprouse collab, anyone? Ghesquière gave really good bag at Balenciaga too. I longed for a Lariat bag way back in 2001... and now, and always. Fun fact: According to the designer, the bag almost didn't get produced because the corporate types felt it wasn't rigid enough and looked too vintage. But he convinced them to make at least 25 to give to the models... and an "It" bag was born.

If he continues the artist collaboration trend at Vuitton, it's sure to be super modern and interesting. Who will he pick for the first one?

Cristobal Balenciaga was known for his sculptural designs. He broadened shoulders, dropped waistlines, and valued construction. Nicolas Ghesquière brought that history to the house with a modern, edgy, cool girl vibe when he took over as designer in 1997 -- he was only 25.

Now of course, lv bags is not going to start looking like Balenciaga. But it will be so fun to watch his spin on the aesthetic.

I have lived for fashion ad campaigns since I was a little girl in Indiana flipping through every magazine I could get my hands on. They are a major reason I fell in love with photography.

Some designers just get it in a way that you can't quantify. Marc and Nicolas are two such designers.
