LOUIS VUITTON SKIN: ARCHITECTURE OF LUXURY

Louis Vuitton has teamed up with some of the world’s most talented architects, artists, and designers to create a global luxury “house”—quite literally. Brought together by noted architectural writer Paul Goldberger, this book looks at the fascinating designs of Louis Vuitton’s mesmerizing store fronts, from Paris to New York, Beijing to Doha. With six covers, the book delves into remarkable collab orations, from the iconic structure of the Frank Gehry-designed store in Seoul, which mimics his design for the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris, to the water-like façade of the seven-floor store in Tokyo designed by Jun Aoki. Above all, the book honours the talent behind Louis Vuitton’s in-house archi tecture studio, led by the brilliant Nathalie Fremon, whose vision has truly brought the brand to life.
