From Louis to Vuitton Book 11x14cm

This fashion coffee table book explores Louis Vuitton’s blend of innovation and tradition, its iconic creations, the Asnières workshop and the contributions of its Artistic Directors. It begins with the House’s founding by Louis Vuitton, who, at just fourteen years of age, left his village in Eastern France, to go to Paris, where the luggage maker became the icon for the spirit of travel and French chic. In addition to Louis Vuitton’s exceptional innovative spirit and know-how, this book also celebrates modes of transport—by land, air or sea—as symbols of the House’s spirit of travel. From Louis to Vuitton evokes historical places, the reinterpretation of the House’s codes and Louis Vuitton’s commitment to the climate as part of its “Committed Journey,” while highlighting its close ties to sport, notably the House’s partnerships with the America’s Cup and F1, as well as exhibitions that are presented worldwide.
