The Homeless Teen Who Created Louis Vuitton

- Louis Vuitton is a household name, and one of the most famous brands in the world. But do you know the story of the house, which is steeped in war, greed, fashion, leather, canvas, and more? We begin our story detailing the life of Louis Vuitton himself, a young man from the French countryside who becomes a master trunk maker, and innovator of the travel essential in the 1800s. After his passing, his family begins to reinvent the brand to represent Louis Vuitton himself, as well as travel and luggage trends throughout the 1900s as well. Corporate infighting ensues, and eventually, Bernard Arnault, the now owner of LVMH, Louis Vuitton's parent company, effectively takes over the brand in the late 1980s. He eventually brings in Marc Jacobs to design for the house's first fashion line, and Marc brings culture and art to the house. Artists like Takashi Murakami, Stephen Sprouse, and Yayoi Kusama do collaboration collections with Louis Vuitton, under Marc's supervision. Kim Jones, now the designer of Dior Men and Fendi Womens, creates a blockbuster hit with his Supreme X Louis Vuitton collaboration collection. Eventually, Nicolas Ghesquière & Virgil Abloh join the mix and reinvent the house in their image as well. Vuitton's history is full of drama, deception, and iconic fashions, many you'll have to watch to see!

We stan a man who can give us all the tea on Louis Vuitton while having stains on his shirt
Right
The distressed look is all the rage rn
It’s powder - I think?
Only what a stain can easy be a fashion trend
Well you shouldn’t
Lmao at balenciaga not even caring that there was a whole ass war going on
Yeah man Cristobal balenciaga didn’t even give a fuck.
Building a gazebo during the civil war vibes
@@ameliajames1463 how would you like to be indoors and out of doors all at once?
I don't really care about louis vuitton or fashion history in general really but this was super interesting ! (and as a French person I really appreciate that you try to pronounce the words and names correctly, sometimes it is a bit off but most of the time you do really well)
the only history teacher that doesn't make me sleepy✨
This jajajaja
You should try Lucy Worsley
LV was at it’s best when Marc was there hands down. Just like how Galliano was for Dior. Yeah I’m stuck in those era 😬
We all are
The Marc Jacobs era neon overprint bags are life
@Arf Arf Awoo yes lets be friends drop the insta
Arf Arf Awoo I’m down! 😋
me too gurrrll
Yes am early. Please do a video on underrated fashion brands who deserve more hype.
Gurrrl i am so early
Telfar
Yeah! He should do one on young up and coming designers!
Did this man just make the Louis Vuitton print sound... interesting?
He did. He did indeed. It’s tacky to me cause of the over saturated knock offs out there😑
Honestly Luke this video was on a whole new level. The amount of research, and pictures to tell the story. You really made an amazing little documentary. SOOO GOOD.
The iconic Louis Vuitton monogram’s icons are actually from a church that has the icons on its walls. And the letters LV was added to make it a complete monogram. I read this in a pottery barn LV history book somewhere, but I can’t find any pictures of the church with the icons online
Maybe it's a Cathedral. It looks familiar and lots of French are Catholics.
I found that monograms are inspired by medieval art and Doge's palace in Venice. It has similar looking things carved on its front.
Love this as a series! There are so many houses with a shady history, Hermès next please! 🍵👀
Like that secret Birkin made of human skin on the order of a Saudi princess.
Nikola whaaaaatttt?!?! Spill the T
Nikola where did you find this information?
@@48mavemiss2 It's a well known rumour from the 1990s.
Nikola ahh- that’s creepy. I was a small child then and did care for fashion until I was in my mid/late 20’s. I’ll look into it.
The "coffee table" that has been in my family room my entire life is very clearly a trunk. It is made of wood has locks and can be opened. A few years ago my mom discovered it was a Louis Vuitton trunk. We know it is a Louis Vuitton trunk because even though it does not have the classic logo on it it does have the Louis Vuitton label on the bottom. We do not know when it is dated too but both of us believe that it can be dated to the 1800s. Knowing how old this trunk might be is incredible. It is in great condition and honestly shows how these things were made to last.
Baguette here and I see you making an effort with the french names, you were pretty spot on almost all of them, except for Nicolas Ghesquière, which is still a bit off but I see that you really tried and it's a bit of an unfair name, I think only baguettes would be able to say that 100% correctly. Still, good job on all the others (and there were a lot) so take this as encouragement because I still remember the Jeanne D'arc Alexander McQueen video hahaha, you've progressed a lot. Bon travail Luke !
Can't wait to derail my AP World class with Louis Vuitton's history
Edit: omg ive never gotten this many likes- thank you 🥺🥺🥺
Make them CHOKE ON YOUR ELEGAAANZAAAAA
Please do more fashion history videos! It’s very interesting content and I enjoy watching history videos in general. They’re even more fascinating when combined with fashion content though. :)
Luke is out here doing God's work by teaching the Children ... Yes god
IDK why but the sudden shifts to french accent cracks me up 😆 But at least she tried 👍🏽
i'm damned if i do and damned if i don't :(
HauteLeMode oh no hunny you did great. Props for going back and forth 🇺🇸 🔁 🇫🇷 many times
crash course history who? i only know hautel'histoire
I love how these fashion houses history shows the evolution of the world in modernity with its roots in the industrial revolution, the rise of the self made wealth and the boom of the 1990s with globalist age. Its crazy to know how recent these developments for crazy fashion shows really are.
1:23 this guy was walking for three years wuuut
"BUT I AM LE TIRED" XD ah the dawn of the internet
Can we make this required viewing for all the "yahoo, new money, label whore, I don't really know WTF this is but everyone else is wearing it" TH-camrs? KTHX!
we could, or we could keep it for ourselves
@@quester09 good call...
@@quester09 why? They're going to buy it anyway. They might as well be able to fully appreciate it.
Hey........... how y'all doin
omg wendy williams is here!?!?!?
I wasn't interested in this particular history lesson but I was told there would be tea so... 🍵
@HauteLeMode I highly recommend you watch documentary "Luxury: behind the mirror of high-end fashion". In a nutshell, high-end fashion and fast fashion aren't (unfortunately) so different at all
is it on netflix?
@@angelat5554 you can watch it here on yt
We need a history of Yohji Yamamoto and anti fashion 🙌🏻
ControVirgil 😹
The brand's cohesiveness went out the window post the 90s. All collections reflect the CD and not the brand somehow. However, all the artist and brand collaborations epic!
I've never been this earlyyy
same
One question I have: how do you get into fashion? How do you develop a sense of what is fashionable vs not fashionable? I really have no idea about that lmao
Either you have it or you don't. Honestly.
Observe style, pattern,print, colours in clothing as well as take inspiration from everything around you. It slowly starts to get ingrined in yiu and ech new discovery is exciting!
Wonderful LV history lesson. Monsieur Arnault n’est pas un bonne person 🙁. But I think you are great and you do your homework.............🤗🇨🇦
its sad being here before the spicy comments
you don't have to be sad about no spicy comments, if you make spicy comments ;)
gsgdhdjdjcbdjs i just dieeeedd
The fast-paced and informative spilling of historical tea is so fun to watch!
This episode taught me more than years of school in a much condensed and compelling format
I find myself backtracking HauteLeModes content more often than most. When some creators splice up the info with their own personality its forced at times. Thats not the case with this channel. Great job again HLeM you're my fashion cumpuss🧭🤩😳😨
😭😭😭😭 I might sign up for ur premium membership so you can finally afford a tide pen. And not the black tshirttttttt
Was that a read???
@@stephanieparker5049 i am only here to help 😔👌
An A+ for effort in pronunciation. you may also be interested to know that Louis Vuitton also made trunks and even folding camp beds in aluminium for touring in Africa as the alloy is light weight and far more resistant to insects
Why does that one black and white picture of Marc Jacobs look like a vintage painting of a mad french poet
Great video! I would love to see more of these.
Apparently so many European designers benefited from or participated in the Nazi regime :( (including Chanel, Balenciaga, LV, Dior and Hugo Boss).
Luke! Give us Jamie Chua’s closet reaction, please!!! We can’t wait any longer!
Well one correction, the Vuitton heirs don't run the company, but they are still minority stake holders and still oversee directly production for the traditional hard-sided trunks and exotic leathers handbag production for the brand.
I watched a 12 min ad cause it’s the only way I can spend on “Luis Vuitton” anything
This was incredibly interesting, entertaining and educational! I would love to see more videos on the history of other brands, or fashion styles 😊
This was great!!! I subscribed!!! (I'd thought l was already subscribed!!!).
REALLY enjoying your videos!!!! 🌺
Fantastic history class of Louis Vuitton. Happy Halloween from our channel. Enjoy.
19.45 I am DEAD!!! 🤣😂 Thanks @HauteLeMode 😘
Love the vids... Love the outfits... But would like better mic quality :3
Note taken! And working on it!!
Yeah...
Please do Alexander McQueen history like the time when he said Victoria Beckham is a tasteless b*tch tand he banned her then he threw eggs to Madonna’s head.
"Let's secure le bag....."! 😊🌺💗
The REAL history of that hideous handbag that your older aunt loves.
it's sad that family doesn't have the control of the company today, it is their legacy
So... you are telling me that weebs already exist since the victorian era? DOpe XD
Excellent writing! It read like a essay paper that had a strong conclusion and reminded us of the journey from start to finish in two sentences. I loved your editing. Great video
Bring back Marc! Also I didnt know the Petite Malle was created under Nicholas. Beautiful. I have a Keepall 45 and vintage Beverely bag + numerous LV accessories. It is all very worth it and luxurious.
The is the best video you have made till now! Factual and informative! I love fashion history! I am a dutch handbag designer btw!
KEEP THE VIDEOS COMING! Entertaining the house down boots, knowledge is power. X
anyone notice how the painting of young louis vuitton looks shockingly like cole sprouse?? freaking me out a bit lol
I love these videos TEACH ME EVERYTHING YOU KNOW KING
Yes bitch im early for something for once in my life
when youre so early there are no funny comments yet...
I’m a simple girl, I see twiggy, I click.
It's so early that nobody has already seen the full video.
I NEED you to do more history videos like this! I'm just getting into the fashion industry and this video has been really helpful for me to understand the history and general idea of LV. Would love to see some more of these videos!
That goddamned colorful LV bag. They were so popular where I'm from they defined that era for me fashion-wise.
Yay I love these fashion history videos! Thanks for this! As for suggestions, maybe... Gucci? It's got murder, greed and Tom Ford popularising heroin chic in the late 90s...
I think, not completely sure, that Balenciaga as a Spanish designer was neutral as Spain didn’t took sides on WWII, although I also know that Franco the dictator was a bit collaborative with Adolf… so I don’t really know😜
Dude this was amazing! I really appreciate all of the history you’ve included
The thing about quarantine is that I'm always early to videos now.
At 03:03 that's not Louis Vuitton with his family, but Napoleon III with Empress Eugenie and their son , Napoléon, Prince Imperial (1856-1879).
well done you & thank you for that!
Anyone else think that the LV STEAMER BAG looks an awful like the HERMES BIRKIN?! FRENCH THIEVERY!!
Appreciated this,the history of luxury brands has always been of great interest. The people and history! Its more than just items.
OMG,This Video on the History of Louis Vuitton was Absolutely Fabulous..I Really enjoyed it A lot.Thank you for giving us a great Commentary..I have a lot of their Bags and Wallets,No shoes yet..
I've been waiting for this and here I am, a minute after it's posted
Swear to god I've never clicked so fast
lol and then u have "instagram baddies" wearing the monogram WITH NOT A CLUE ABOUT ITS ORIGINS.
ugh
A lot of people are wearing the monogram without knowing its origins
but did u know Apsara at Angkor Wat temple in Cambodia have flower that LV have on Apsara skirt and Angkor Wat temple Built between A.D. 1113 and 1150
I would love to hear ur thoughts on LV SQUARED, the LV x Human Made collaboration for their pre-spring collection that just dropped
Thanks for a great informative and well designed video. Please keep up the good work and maybe try to tackle Hermes and Fendi,,,XOXO from an LV lover in Tel Aviv :)
Lol Honey, LVMH is a BUSINESS. It would be in their best interest and also in the interest of the public if they remained cordial with the President. After all, Trump is a businessman
Before watching your videos, I had a very narrow view about luxury brands and the designers that associated with them. Your channel in general and these absolutely fucking fantastic history videos in specific have broadened my perception. The inspirations, intricacies, circumstances and genius of the individuals behind these brands and their contribution to the industry and society in general are just so damn interesting and nuanced. Thankyou for redefining the fashion industry for me. Love from India ❤️
Could've shown their marketing, distribution, and expansion strategy more. But overall, good video.
Great job! Loved the video. Appreciated Marc Jacobs’ reign as LV’s creative director even more with this video...
Must watch and share from TH-cam. Type in “Professor Dolores Cahill September 2020”.
Damn, MJ was with them for so long. I feel like he was the new guy not that long ago. It blows my mind how the Murakami collab was 22 years ago, because I remember wanting one as a teen, which still feels like not that far away? I kind of stopped following fashion as closely like 10 years ago and the escalator runway seems just like yesterday. I love how much color he brought to the brand and his willingness to experiment with and innovate new monogram prints and runways. Great video!
0,58 Why does the portrait of young LV look like Cole Sprouse
Omg it does a little bit
am I the only one who cannot stand Marc Jacobs?! do not like like his own brand and hate his era with LV, the tackiest, cheesy American pop, something like a cheap movie with Lindsey Lohan.... thank god for Kim Jones who brought class, sharpness, edge but also that timelessness with work he did!
21:35 I have never seen that curved keepall bag before, that’s mad!
Well-informed, well-edited and concise vid on LV's history. A must-watch reference for luxury brand newbies!
Ive been waiting for a vid like this!
My theory is that the flower design was inspired by the Fleur-de-lis, as it was very symbolic of France for much of it's history. It doesn't necessarily look exactly like it but it's George..... it would be his interpretation of it!
What a HISTORY! very good for LV History 101 clap! clap! clap!
I love when you make history videos! It's why I started watching your content in the first place. Here's hoping for more soon. 😍
I have a Louis Vuitton trunk, but it's fake. I do got a real Louis Vuitton beanie though. And much more soon. I love them.
3:06 are actually the portraits of napoleon and eugenie!
ugh! shitty pronunciation! disappointed and upset !! just kidding. I love u thank you for educating me
Love this deep dive! So interesting
one of the best videos you've ever made, luke!
How to properly say Moet...... It's Mo-wett... not Mo-way. You pronounce the "T" It's a Dutch word.
I've resold multiple Louis Vuitton items making a ton of money. Very lucrative business to get into.
i love this i hope he makes it a series
Thank you for this amazing video! It was so interesting and insightful! As a history student, I really love these types of videos, so keep it up! ❤️🤩
