Marc Jacobs’s spring 2011 Louis Vuitton show may have seemed at first like a clear appeal to that region of the world — China — that’s on everyone in the luxury-fashion business’s lips right now. LVMH, along with pretty much everyone else, is expanding in Asia, and Jacobs’s Vuitton show, with strikingly literal Chinese influences, looked like a clear nod to that. However, Jacobs said after his likewise Asian-inflected Louis Vuitton men’s show in June that “prob-ably the least appealing thing review of the collection, “It’s debatable whether
the aspirational Chinese customer wants to look like a ‘China Girl.’”Those who now the Chinese market seem to agree that this collection, with its exaggerated use of Chinese elements, is not likely to appeal to the Chinese market.

Those who know the Chinese market seem to agree that this collection, with its exaggerated use of Chinese elements, is not likely to appeal to the Chinese market. Torsten Stocker of Monitor Group, a global strategy consulting firm with offices in Shanghai, Beijing, and Hong Kong, observed that with “cli-ched” elements that “reflect a Western image of what Chinese design looks like,” Jacobs’s SS2011 collections may not truly appeal to Chinese consumers. While the clothes “might be good for a Chinese star to wear in a Western set-
ting,” Stocker said, the collections would be less successful with the broader Chi-nese market.. blyf uyfr outr saey fuyoiy ;Maybe this isn’t so complicated, and Jacobs just looked to China because he felcobs should show because it would hg hf if fhofwho osell.Mmented on the never-ending obses-sion of Western designers, Jacobs in-cluded, with the concept of “Old Shang-hai.” Noting that “many of the looks could be achieved after an the Louis Vuitton boutique less than ten minutes away would save “the stress of haggling.”
