Law Roach Sources Rare Marc Jacobs Louis Vuitton Nurse Look
Stylist Law Roach sourced a specific 2008 Louis Vuitton archival outfit for Kim Kardashian to wear in October.
Archival Runway Return Details
Law Roach selected the Spring/Summer 2008 collection originally shown at Paris Fashion Week. Marc Jacobs directed models wearing baggy plastic coats and black lace masks embroidered with red sequin letters spelling Louis Vuitton. Naomi Campbell, Stephanie Seymour, Eva Herzigova, and Nadja Auermann walked in these nurse uniforms during that season. The ensemble included white tights, white heels, and traditional caps featuring the house logo. Roach dressed Kardashian in this complete look alongside the Papillon Frame bag made with Richard Prince.
Artistic Inspiration And Creation
The campy collection was inspired by Richard Prince's 2003 Nurse Paintings series which transformed medical pulp novel covers. This pop artist rose to prominence in the 1980s and shared Jacobs love for referencing existing works. Messy paint runs and blurry red splotches that appeared like blood adorned the covers in these paintings. A single artwork appeared on the cover of the 2004 release called Sonic Nurse by Sonic Youth. Roach worked with milliner Stephen Jones to create a custom headpiece topped with a letter K for the client.
Stylist Dedication To History
As a committed archivist, Roach secures rare vintage treasures for patrons including Zendaya and Ariana Grande. He recently sourced this specific historical piece to bring the seminal collection back into fashion discourse. Prince's art turned the covers of mid-20th century medical pulp novels into eerie gory paintings by the stylist. This collaboration brought the 2007 runway show concepts directly to a modern celebrity audience today.
