LV NOW

With its City Guide and Fashion Eye Series, Louis Vuitton explores photographic creation while celebrating the Art of Travel.

Both mirroring trends and setting the standard, with great attention to cosmopolitan transformation, the Louis Vuitton City Guide has explored the most magnetic metropoles for nearly twenty years. Today thirty cities have been revealed through unexpected perspectives on fashion, design, well-being, contemporary art, gastronomy and culture.  Original photographs illustrate the Louis Vuitton City Guide, a vision entrusted to the photography collective Tendance Floue, who reinforce the singular point of view represented in these tomes. Patrick Tourneboeuf is the author of the photographs featured in the 2019 Paris City Guide, as French photographer Françoise Huguier shares her favourite addresses this year. During Paris Photo, the digital version of the Paris City Guide is available for free on the App Store.

With Fashion Eye, its series of photography books, Louis Vuitton evokes a city, a region or a country, seen through the eyes of a fashion photographer. Title after title, a broad compendium of perspectives emerges, one that shifts with the destinations, including urban panoramas and natural landscapes, scenes of local life, and more contemplative work. Fashion Eye creates an unprecedented dialogue between emerging talents, seasoned photographers and fashion photography legends.

On November 9th and 10th, several photographs of the Fashion Eye series will sign their books at the Paris Photo x Louis Vuitton pop-up bookstore.

Outer space is an infinite source of inspiration. For the latest Men's Ready-to-Wear Precollection, now available in stores and online, the layered looks evoke the interdimensional universe of space travel. Through planetary graphics, celestial motifs, and technical detailing, the collection explores an intergalactic vision for the Spring-Summer 2019 season.

With metallic and reflective materials and a space-toned palette, the Precollection brings an astronaut’s allure to earthbound travelers. Louis Vuitton rubber patches, fil coupés, and embroideries provide playful yet subtle nods to the theme.

Audacious irreverence animates timeless luxury. Grace Coddington's iconoclastic style meets Louis Vuitton Artistic Director Nicolas Ghesquière's fascination with eccentricity in this capsule of the Cruise 2019 Collection. A mutual adoration of animals was the starting point for this collaboration, adorning accessories, leather goods, and more with an interplay of cat and dog illustrations and the Maison's Monogram motif.

A playful look at the latest Louis Vuitton collaboration with Grace Coddington

The iconoclastic fashion editor and self-professed animal-lover Grace Coddington has designed a capsule collection with her friend and Nicolas Ghesquière. Her illustrations of her Persian cats, Pumpkin and Blanket, and Léon, the Louis Vuitton Artistic Director's dog, are playfully splashed across a varied selection of accessories, ready-to-wear, leather goods, and shoes. Classic Louis Vuitton pieces such as the Speedy and Neverfull Bags are given an imaginative twist while new clutch bags and other small leather goods take on smiling, cartoon forms.

This fall, five photographers invite us to travel to new horizons: Cretto di Burri by Olivier Toscani, Iran by Harley Weir, Geneva by Paul Rousteau, Silk Road by Kishin Shinoyama and Bali by Quentin de Briey. Each book evokes a city, a region or a country, seen through the eyes of a fashion photographer. 

As the most recent addition to the Éditions Louis Vuitton line-up, Fashion Eye brings a new dimension to the range of Travel Books conceived by the luxury house. After the City Guides offering a refreshing and offbeat perspective on familiar and less familiar metropolises, and the Travel Books rekindling the idea of the artist’s notebook, with this third collection travel photography indirectly showcases fashion, thanks to the talents of photographers most often noted for their work in this field.
