LV NOW

With a gentle autumn light, London-based photographer Thomas Brown glamorizes Louis Vuitton women's shoes for next season. Elegant sandals, wedge mules and flat shoes in suede baby goat leather are enhanced by gold metal rings and graphic V accessories inspired by the Louis Vuitton V fashion jewelry collection.

For the coming season, Derby and loafer shoes feature the "Volez, Voguez, Voyagez" signature inspired by the men's ready-to-wear collection, with subtle two-tone calf leather trim. Made in patent calf leather or glazed waxed calf leather, these shoes demonstrate the Fiesso savoir-faire through invisible stitching technique, that make them a perfect final touch to an evening wardrobe.

The suggestion of travel and abstract graphics creates a cinematic narrative in this film shot by Bruce Weber for the recent Louis Vuitton advertising campaign. The location is an old airfield and this glimpse of the campaign shoot, starring Freja Beha, Rianne van Rompaey, and Julia Merkelbach, was shot on black-and-white film.

Reflecting Nicolas Ghesquière's interest in modern architecture, the location for this video accompanying the recent Louis Vuitton advertising campaign is a sculptor's utopian home near Barcelona. With Jennifer Connelly, Liya Kebede, Fernanda Ly, Angel Rutledge, and Alicia Vikander, the Maison's new muse, the visual narrative shot by Juergen Teller presents the Fall 2015 collection.

Barely five years after founding his House, Louis Vuitton began to outgrow his Parisian headquarters. In 1859, he relocated the new workshops to Asnières, a village a few kilometres northwest of Paris.

These new ateliers were built in the ethereal Eiffel style, combining glass and steel. The exceptional savoir-faire of the Asnières artisans is such that, even today, key pieces are created here: rigid trunks, designs in rare or exotic leathers, special orders.

Revealing the intimate aspects of Louis Vuitton’s history, highlighting its ties with the ateliers, underlining the presence of the Louis Vuitton universe… These were some of the challenges that curator Judith Clark sought to tackle in the new creative, playful and timeless space she so vividly imagined.
