You’re known for your love of dogs — your English bull terrier, Daisy,
shares a name with one of your perfumes. But isn’t a customised Louis
Vuitton dog carrier [designed by Jacobs for a Sotheby’s auction in aid of
the Red Cross] taking things a bit far?
The kennel was a bit of a joke really. Antoine Arnault [the director of Louis
Vuitton Moet Hennessy] came to me with the idea of designing something that
could be auctioned off for charity and this is all I could think of. Damien
Hirst has done an armoire, Annie Leibovitz designed a camera case, and I
have my kennel. I have to say in terms of workmanship, the kennel was quite
a challenge. By the way, the perfume wasn’t named after my dog; both are
after my favourite literary character, Daisy Buchanan from The Great
Gatsby.
