What’s the biggest news to come out of the Luis Vuitton show? The collabo between Marc Jacobs and contemporary artist, Richard Prince that gave birth to cartoonish totes, colorful satchels, and logos splashed every which way. A series of chic nurses inspired by Prince’s nurse paintings ushered the bags out one-by-one like newborn babies.

Marc put fuchsia snakeskin details on a multihued handbag, mixed his exotics (snakeskin with ostrich) on another, and spelled out “Louis Vuitton Paris” all over a yellow tote that I can see as my next travel carry-on bag.If you’re not such a fan of the monogram bags, there are still a lot of handbag options for you. There was a salmon colored ostrich Alma and a sand colored ostrich Papillion. These are both classic bags that don’t draw too much attention to themselves. I personally loved the logo-less bags with cartoon scenes stitched on them. They’re quirky and fun and come in some really punchy colors.

Look, I can tease you with a bunch of long shots to show you the clothes or I can show you what’s going to really matter in the world of Louis Vuitton next season – the bags.

Of course you have to have bitchin’ shoes to go with the hot new bags and MJ continued the funky footwear trend that he started in his eponymous collection.

For Louis Vuitton, Marc brought back the classic pump shape with heels a little bit lower than those towering platform stilettos we’ve been teetering on for the past few seasons. There was the “broken heel” pump, a shoe that mirrored the look of a woman who has just snapped the heel of her shoe as well as pumps with a notch taken out of the heel.

And yes, it really is the hottest ish to hit the streets. I may have given Marc the side-eye for his MJ show in Bryant Park, but it’s only because I knew he could do so much better.

More of this please.
