And on Wednesday, Louis Vuitton held it’s first ever ready to wear show outside of Paris – in Tokyo at a custom built dome at Yumenoshima Park. Creative Director, Marc Jacobs presented Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 2006-07 collection for 500 guests that included the media from all over Asia as well as many more VIPs. They ever flew out all the models that had first strutted down the catwalk for the Autumn/Winter collection in Paris a few months ago.
