The fashion world was rocked this morning as several big-name publications (Reuters, Vogue UK, Wall Street Journal) break the news of Creative Director Marc Jacobs’ departure from French fashion house Louis Vuitton.

Right now most publications are reporting that the news comes by way of a source close to fashion company LVMH, but no statement has been released from the design star himself.

He’s made such an impact from the start to the very end. But as my mother likes to say ‘For a season, for a reason.’

This is a great opportunity for MJ to focus on the empire that is the Marc Jacobs brand and I look forward to what he presents next!
