LOUIS VUITTON PRET A PORTER FASHION CATALOGS
In 1996 Louis Vuitton hired fashion designer Marc Jacobs to take over the luxury leather goods company and infuze the brand with ready to wear. His first collection was for Spring 1998.
With Historie(s) in 2012, Vuitton goes more for an editorial magazine layout with really interesting and informative articles about the company and its current news, while keeping a focus on accesories and leather goods.
Here is a listing of the catalog covers that acompany each collection:
MARC JACOBS (2011-2013)
Menswear designer: KIM JONES (2011-2018)

WOMEN SHOE?
I erroneously presented this catalog as the Ready to Wear catalog, but upon further investigation I realized it was for the Shoe Collection. Since I do not personally have this issue I am not 100% sure, but I assume it’s the Shoe collection because of the cover’s emphasis on shoes. These used to printed in a smaller size proportion that made them easier to identify.

The Spring/Summer collection of 2013 was Marc Jacobs last collection for Louis Vuitton. I am not sure if they released a ready to wear catalog for that collection, or for the previous two years, since I have never seen them.
I am not sure if they made catalogs for Nicolas Ghesquière first collection which was Fall / Winter 2013.
They did print the new style of The Book, which is more of a magazine that showcases the ready to wear and accesories with news of what is happening in the Louis Vuitton world. Issue #1 has an extensive coverage of Ghesquiere’s fashions for the house.
