At the occasion of the Montenapoleone store opening, Louis Vuitton celebrated its savoir-faire and the creativity of Marc Jacobs' ready-to-wear collections with an exhibition curated by Katie Grand: "Louis Vuitton: The Art of Fashion". Sep/Oct 2011 at La Triennale di Milano — the iconic Italian design museum.

In the exhibition, outfits from different seasons were mixed together. The coiffeuse dress in silk satin and the Speedy Multicolor created in collaboration with Takashi Murakami from the 2003 Spring-Summer season were displayed with cuffs from the 2011 Fall season's collection. Also, the cotton cap created in collaboration with Philip Treacy from the 2001 Spring-Summer collection is visible among other creations exhibited on mannequins specifically conceived for the exhibition.

Replacing 24 of the mannequin heads with Speedy handbags, Katie played with the notion of the Vuitton woman having "luxurious bags on her mind". 6 other mannequins are made of wood and covered with Louis Vuitton graffiti designed by Stephen Sprouse in orange and pink fluo colors. An intimate cinema space adjacent to the permanent exhibition tells visitors, through the use of videos, the story of Louis Vuitton's ready-to-wear collections and reveals how Katie Grand worked on the selection of the outfits for this exhibition.
