The documentary is interesting to the point that shows the creative proccess of Marc Jacobs in a creative and funny way. What I like most about it is how it shows the ecxentricity of this designer and the impact of his fashion around the world.

This video is very true to the way the industry works. I really enjoyed the design process and the true view that it is hard work putting together a line. The extras were wonderful and a great addition.

When I purchased this, I was expecting a documentary of Marc Jacobs in board meetings with Bernard Arnault, all narrated by a monotone, faceless fashion insider. I was so wrong.

The film travels with Marc behind the scenes of his own label in the US, and then across the sea to LVHM's corporate offices, where he brings his own attitude, creative energy, and down to earth spirit. It portrays him as a true artist who is very driven, self-critical, and in tune with multiple industries. Even the commentary is interesting, funny, and unexpectedly objective. Are there more films like these?!

Any fan of fashion needs this in his or her DVD collection.

I only knew of Marc Jacobs as a designer favored by the rich and famous. Since I'm not one of them, I never expected to learn much about him other than the ads I see in magazines and browsing his boutiques.

Enter this documentary...Marc Jacobs & Louis Vuitton. I just expected a video about the Marc Jacobs Label and how the partnership with Louis Vuitton was developed, etc..... Instead, what I saw was a rich, visual story about a passionate designer who is truly an artist. One who chooses to use fashion to express his creativity. OK, so there is a certain amount of marketing and capitalism hanging onto the apron strings of MJ's name. However, this documentary does show Marc as an artist seeking to get to the next level of his creativity, yet he is seeking to find acceptance as an artist.

MJ is a designer with two major labels, his own and Louis Vuitton. I got the sense that this man, who is this incredible designer/artist, is in a way caught in the prison of his own creativity. It's one Ready to Wear collection after another.

This documentary is a must see. It really is a rare glimpse inside the world of MJ - the bonus is a rare glimpse into the creative side of LV as well.
