Label Text:These oxfords were the first to emerge on the runway for the Louis Vuitton Autumn Collection of 2004, which was marked by its opulent mélange of Victorian-influenced styles. Louis Vuitton has been a dominant force in fashion since 1998, when New York-based designer Marc Jacobs was hired to create the company's ready-to-wear collection. Once there, he reinvigorated the venerable accessory house and successfully melded Parisian luxury with downtown cool.
