Under his tenure, Louis Vuitton became the most lucrative fashion house in the world, in part thanks to his creation of a ready-to-wear line.\u003cbr/\u003eLVMH, which owns the Louis Vuitton brand and an array of other luxury names purveying everything from jewelry to champagne, would not say who would replace Jacobs or what his next move would be. \u003cbr/\u003eAt the show Wednesday, models filed by in jet-black warrior-like feathered headdresses, evoking an aura of self-defense.\u003cbr/\u003eThe 41-piece display - which used embroidered black tulle stockings, Eisenhower jackets embellished cabaret-style with large feathered shoulders, dark embroideries, smoking jackets and some 1940s baggy blue jeans - was a dark affair.\u003cbr/\u003eThe glimmering catwalk landscape was towered over by a huge clock whose arms, instead of going forward, went back in time. \u003cbr/\u003eIt was as if the designer was trying to look to the past - or even get some time back.\u003cbr/\u003e\"We went back and used all the different bits of the sets of the past and made them black,\" Jacobs explained backstage, without elaborating on his future plans.\u003cbr/\u003eThe clothes, too, went back in time. Floor-length, thick Edwardian dresses and large proportions in the sleeves fused with black decorative corset details, evoking fashions of the 1900s and contrasting with the more revealing \"showgirl\" looks.\u003cbr/\u003eHe dedicated this collection to all the women who have inspired him - from Cher to Jane Birkin, Betty Catroux, Judy Garland, Liza Minnelli, Kate Moss, Edith Piaf and Anna Wintour - and to the showgirl in all of them.\u003cbr/\u003eIn the program notes, Jacobs enclosed an emotional goodbye to LVMH's CEO: \"For... Bernard Arnault. All my love, always.\"\u003cbr/\u003eAP Entertainment\u003cbr/\u003eParis, France, 2 October 2013\u003cbr/\u003e1. Exterior, Cour Carree du Louvre, Paris\u003cbr/\u003e2.

SOUNDBITE (English) Marc Jacobs/Designer:\u003cbr/\u003e\"We all dress to show the world what we want them to see and so we used the metaphor of the showgirl and then thought about so many different artists who've inspired me and us and so many French women, musicians, entertainers, who've really, like I said in the program notes, have changed the landscape of the world we live in, and who've certainly left an indelible mark on me. And again it was sort of a celebration of the superficial in a way, because I genuinely believe that feelings are feelings, and a love for the superficial is just as deep as a love for something much less superficial, so the surface. And Paris, to me, is lights and surface and decorative, applied decoration. And there's no country in the world, or no city in the world that I know that has the artisans and the craftsmen that can produce such beautiful, decorative textures and surfaces and intricacies. And so it was really a celebration about that.\"\u003cbr/\u003e8. Mid shot Marc Jacobs\u003cbr/\u003e9. SOUNDBITE (English) Marc Jacobs/Designer: \u003cbr/\u003e\"It was a dark thing because black is like, to me, it's the color of some of the chicest women in Paris. It's Juliette Greco, it's Francoise Hardy, it's  Edith Piaf in a little black dress. It's Betty Catroux always in a black pantsuit. It's the Left Bank of Paris and what I think it was like, a sort of, I don't know, just sort of the knowing demimonde of Paris has always been coolly dressed in black. So it seemed just like the chicest way to show all these dazzling textures and embroideries.\"\u003cbr/\u003e10. Mid shot Marc Jacobs\u003cbr/\u003e11. SOUNDBITE (English) Marc Jacobs/Designer:\u003cbr/\u003e\"We just used elements. When we tried to think about what we were going to do for the set, I just said let's use bits of the sets from the past and just make them black. And really, that's all it was. I just wanted to take from wherever I felt like it. There was an Eisenhower jacket part and there was - it was all like sort of menswear more or less, it was baseball jerseys, football jerseys, football pants, men's Spencers, smoking jackets, - yeah, motorcycle jackets, T-shirts and tank tops, I mean you know, just all black.\"\u003cbr/\u003e12.
