The elevator dings and I step out into a marbled private lift lobby. Greeting me is Yayoi Kusama’s floral sculpture with Veuve Clicquot, and on my right is Amber Lee in her most natural state: T-shirt, shorts, and a nervous little Yorkie pup in her arms. Her hair, worn down, is dark, straight, and glossy. She has no make-up on, but it only shows how good her skin is.

Amber is one of Louis Vuitton’s most esteemed collectors, and I’m here in her swanky, art-filled penthouse to see some of her most treasured pieces ahead of the maison’s landmark 200 Trunks, 200 Visionaries: The Exhibition. A tribute to its founder’s innovative legacy as Louis Vuitton marks his 200th birthday, the showcase features the works of 200 creatives, who were invited to reimagine the maison’s emblematic trunk.
