The book will be available in six different covers, each fronting one of Louis Vuitton’s most impressive outposts across the globe, in cities including Beijing, Paris, Seoul, New York City, Tokyo and Singapore. “They are buildings designed to have the same appeal as the Maison’s products, elevated to civic scale.” “None of Louis Vuitton’s stores are designed to fit into the urban context in any conventional way,” said Goldberger. Each store’s “skin” is supposed to exude the same luxurious personality as the House’s clothing and accessories. To accomplish this, the French fashion house has commissioned notable edifices, including those by renowned architects Fran Gehry, Jun Aoki and Peter Marino, with bespoke exteriors designed to captivate onlookers’ attention.Īmong them, the Istanbul Istinye Park outpost mimics a topographical map made from a three-dimensional printer, and Tokyo’s Namiki Dori location features a glass façade nodding to the Tokyo Bay, with a color-changing surface that creates a wave-like appearance. Rid of standardized design codes, each of the book’s selected Louis Vuitton stores boasts a vastly different architectural construction.
