$53.55 - Louis Vuitton: Art, Fashion and Architecture
Product DescriptionLuxury and art have never been more closely linked than they are in these early years of the twenty-first century. Virtually all the world’s major luxury houses have associated themselves with contemporary art through sponsorships, commissions, or foundations, and these points of exchange nourish the increasingly symbiotic relationship between fashion, art, and other design disciplines. Of all modern luxury brands, Louis Vuitton can claim to maintain the richest and most varied associations with the world of art. Included in this volume are Louis Vuitton’s important collaborations with an elite group of artists, architects, designers, and photographers, such as Jun Aoki, Shigeru Ban, Vanessa Beecroft, Olafur Eliasson, Zaha Hadid, David LaChapelle, Jean Larivière, Annie Leibovitz, Takashi Murakami, Richard Prince, Stephen Sprouse, James Turrell, Inez Van Lamsweerde, and Vinoodh Matadin. The book is structured as a seductive anthology of the house’s most visible collaborations. Critical essays examine and position Louis Vuitton’s patronage—under the guidance of Artistic Director Marc Jacobs—during one of the most fertile periods of contemporary art and design.

Summary : Beautiful Book, Gorgeous Photography
I bought this for my best friend for her birthday and I have to say it is an absolutely beautiful book. Great for a coffee table! I love the combo of their stores (architecture), artwork that inspired and was inspired by the brand (art) and obviously the clothes, bags, etc. (fashion). It is amazing to see where the brand started and where it has gone while still maintaining their brand identity...gotta love a company that can do that. Overall absolutely beautiful and well written...the photos are ridiculous!

Summary : STUNNING.....Something to have forever......
My sister and I were stuck for something to buy mum for Christmas. The first thing that drew me to this book
was the cover. And let me tell you, it looks AMAZING sitting on a coffee table. My mother has her fair share of Louis Vuitton handbags (at last count...ten) so this was the perfect gift for her. She absolutely LOVED it! However, I have also found myself drawn to the amazing pictures, history and wealth of information that this book offers. It is something that can be enjoyed by any fashion lover. I highly recomend this book, and so does my beautiful mum!!
