Applause to designer Marc Jacobs 5. SOUNDBITE (English) Natalia Vodianova, model: \"Beautiful. It\'s just spectacular. The best way to start the day.\" 6. Cutaway of model Natalia Vodianova with her husband 7. SOUNDBITE (English) Berenice Bejo, actress: \"I loved the mise-en-sc�ne first of all, and I think the idea was amazing, and you can see every girl on the elevators, it was beautiful. And everything is so simple, and fine - the colors - it\'s seventies. I think - that\'s what I was talking about with my friends - I think all the celebrities are going to want to wear something from Vuitton. It\'s so adorable, cute, and so easy to wear.\" 8. SOUNDBITE (English) Rachel Zoe, stylist: \"It was literally the sickest thing ever. I mean, the escalators in the middle of the building, the whole sixties-like to the T. With the hair and makeup. Yeah, it was like fresh and cool, and new and young, and modern and lady, but not stuffy - very french. Oh my god, it was just like gorgeous.\" 9. Various cutaways of designer Marc Jacobs 10. SOUNDBITE  (English) Marc Jacobs, fashion designer: \"I have a shop, a Marc Jacobs shop, at the Palais Royale. I know the installation there very very well - it\'s a series of sculptures, columns, at three lengths, in a grid, and I\'ve always loved Daniel (Buren)\'s work. And my team and I, we agreed, we wanted to do something this season, very different than last season, that was still very powerful visually, but more graphic, less ornate, in the kind of decorative sense. Much more mathematical and based on the \"damier\" (checkerboard). And because you find the grid, and these checks in Daniel (Buren)\'s work and in many installations, we decided it was a really great thing and I invited him to collaborate with us and he was very willing. And that\'s how it started.\" 11. Cutaway of designer Marc Jacobs 12. SOUNDBITE (English) Marc Jacobs: \"The microscopic sequins - yeah! Um, no they are just the tiniest sequins in the world, so there is tons and tons of them, and I think, you know, first and foremost, Louis Vuitton is a luxury house, and even if it is not obvious to the eye, there is a painstaking amount of work that goes into everything we make, to every bag, every shoe, every clothing, every piece of clothing. All of our choices and all of the skill and all of the craft, you know, exists, and sometimes it\'s very obvious from a distance, and sometimes you have to look up close to know, to know what it is.\" 13. Cutaway of designer Marc Jacobs BOLD CHECKS FOR JACOBS LOUIS VUITTON SHOW What do you get if you mix up the world\'s most famous checks and Paris\' most famous stripes? The answer: Louis Vuitton, whose 1960s style spring-summer fashion show, in typically spectacular style, twinned the iconic checked Damier pattern with a set designed by artist Daniel Buren. Understatement is not a word in designer Marc Jacobs\' vocabulary. So a collaboration with minimalist artist Buren - who made the famed striped columns in Paris\' Palais Royal - might have raised eyebrows. But Buren rose boldly to the occasion - creating a shopping mall with four full-scale escalators, each decorated with his signature 8.7cm stripes. It wowed spectators inside the Louvre museum. \"(The Louvre) was already big, all I did was make it bigger,\" said Buren, with trademark humor. \"It was others that called me a minimalist, not me.\" It\'s a fair bet that by next year, this bold check will be everywhere.
