Since 1997 Marc Jacobs has been the creative designer for Louis Vuitton and has brought life to the aging company. Now with the rumor mills churning about his "most likely" heading up the Dior House, are we ready to let him go?

Les Arts Décoratifs in Paris is hosting an exhibition dedicated to Louis Vuitton next year. The museum's curator plans to showcase dual periods in the House's illustrious history animated by two of its key figures: its namesake who started out as a trunk maker back in 1854 and Marc Jacobs. Jacobs is very proud of his work and recently revealed he will only put his name on things he believes in.
He said: "If we didn't believe in what we did, then I would feel that we sold out. As long as we do things with integrity and believe in them and are passionate, I don't think we've sold out. Whether it's an $11 flip-flop or a $2 key ring or a $2,000 dress, they're all done with integrity. They're all done with a design sense. As long as the creativity exists, then I don't think it's a sell-out. A sell-out is putting your name on any piece of crap and then expecting people to buy it because it's got your name on it. That's what a sell-out is to me."

The flow of new spring merchandise has begun to come into the stores. Say hello to your little friends! Without further ado, we introduce Vera Sullivan and Single. And we have nothing more excited than the Marc Jacobs spring handbags.

It's just starting but, I mean, we both want to stay," Duffy said of the negotiations. "I don't think that's any secret. When two people want to renew their vows they do it usually. This is good news for all of us who LVoe Marc's body of work at Vuitton. And without Robert, I don't think he would have made it this far. LVoe you both!

I also decided today that I want to meet Marc Jacobs. So I am sending out this message to the universe for that infinitesimal chance that one day I would.
