Paris Finale: Watch Jacobs's Last Vuitton Show

The day kicked off with Marc Jacob´s final show for Louis Vuitton. News of his departure was confirmed only this morning by Bernard Arnault, LVMH chairman and CEO, and marks the end of the designer's 16-year tenure at the fashion house. As we'd expect from a man responsible for staging some of fashion's most theatrical shows, his swansong was one of epic proportions - featuring pieces from Jacobs's most famous sets, including the carousel and clock tower.

Marc Jacob´swill be presenting what we've been promised is a "greatest hits" collection, reviewing his last 16 years at Vuitton. Whether this collection really is his swansong is still up for debate, but the speculation has served to make it even more hotly anticipated than usual. Will Kate Moss walk, as she has in previous seasons? Will she be joined by her heiress apparent Cara Delevingne? Will Marc wear a kilt or pyjamas? And will his set top Chanel's art gallery yesterday? Find out when the pictures arrive just after the show at 9am


Miu Miu  is the show - along with Prada and Céline - that the fashion editors of the world most want to shop from. Last season's dresses and coats provoked wish-list pondering even before the show's finale - and waiting lists were started as soon as the stores knew delivery dates. Often known as Prada's "little sister", Miuccia's other label ostensibly caters to a younger customer, but one with the same off-beat, chance-taking style who loves Prada. The shoes and bags - like Prada's - are always some of the season's most coveted - and what better way to round off a month of shows than with one that makes you say: "I want that!"
