'I’ve always loved brands that check the boxes for both form and function. Louis Vuitton is definitely one of those brands. In this episode, I walk through the house’s evolution and the always-innovative yet always-practical designs that have made it the world’s number one luxury brand. Naturally, I begin with M Louis Vuitton himself, who set the brand up for success with his invention of the first canvas trunk—what I’d call the invention of luggage as we know it today. I then delve into the influence of Vuitton’s son Georges, who took over the brand after his father’s death. Georges’s influence on the brand is incalculable to me: His careful consideration of women’s needs led to his creation of some of the house’s most iconic handbags, including the Speedy, the Keepall, the Neverfull, the Noe, the Alma, the Dauphine, and the Capucines. Finally, I discuss the house’s collaborations with artists, including Steven Sprouse, Takashi Murakami, and Fornasetti. It’s incredible to me how Louis Vuitton has always stayed on trend through creativity, quirkiness, and forward-minded leadership. It’s a brand that’s literally rooted in innovation, and I can’t wait to see how it continues to evolve.
