It's official: after 16 years, Marc Jacobs is exiting Louis Vuitton.
At this stage, only one thing about the house's future is certain, and that's that it won't be the same without the ultimate flamboyant fashion designer at its helm.
His public persona is almost as notorious as his ultra-wearable designs. Aged 50, many consider him to be at the top of his game - and looking better than ever. Fun-loving and free spirited, this is a designer who loves to bathe in the limelight, whether soaking up the praise post-show on the runway, or flaunting his gym-honed physique.
Click through the gallery to see his most iconic looks to date. Au revoir, Marc.
