Description

The definitive work on the collaborations between Louis Vuitton and artists, designers, architects, and photographers, this newly revised and updated edition brings the previous book up to the present, now celebrating the most recent and inspiring collaborations with Nicolas Ghesquire, Frank Gehry, Yayoi Kusama, and Steven Meisel, among others.

The more than eighty collaborators featured in this book comprise an A to Z of Vuitton's creative collaborations, especially from the last decade, with significant chapters devoted to the work of Nicolas Ghesquire, Marc Jacobs, Takashi Murakami and other key collaborators. Never forgetting the long tradition of the house, the period covered by the book from the late 1990s through the present day will describe the role that Louis Vuitton is playing in a crucial moment in global fashion.

Now with 536 pages, this edition features more than 130 pages of stunning new imagery that showcases the increasingly symbiotic relationship between fashion, art, and design.
