The two brands couldn’t be more different. One is the arbiter of traditional European luxury headed by a dynamic American– Marc Jacobs and the other an edgy label with a cult following among fashion intelligentsia headed by an even edgier Japanese designer– Rei Kawakubo. What happens when the two team up? This is exactly what the whole fashion world is talking about from the front rows of Paris fashion week that’s currently going on to the counterfeit luxury goods peddlers.

While fashionistas are no doubt excited about the collaboration, the partnership will go as far as only six handbags in the LV monogram motif designed by Kawakubo and they will be sold at the specially-designed temporary joint store in Tokyo for three months only. Although we can’t wait to see the handbags, we are a little more than excited about Kawakubo’s much anticipated capsule collection for H&M. For obvious reasons that it’s more accessible to us as well as our wallets.

We only hope Jacobs doesn’t get Victoria Beckham to model those bags (have you seen the current LV print ads?) or perhaps she can eat two more twigs of seaweed and she might look healthier.
