Book Louis Vuitton Skin: Architecture of Luxury (Paris Edition) by Assouline
Description
Discover the breathtaking architecture of Louis Vuitton stores around the world in Louis Vuitton Skin: Architecture of Luxury. Pulitzer Prize-winning author Paul Goldberger takes readers on an exhilarating journey, exploring the various locations of the House, from São Paulo to Seoul. Rather than adhering to a single design, Louis Vuitton's unique approach is to commission bespoke buildings with individual skins that evoke emotions and relate to their specific location. The exterior of each store is designed to provide the same appeal as the high-quality products inside, with a focus on creating a powerful visual experience. The book features stores with radically different expressions, highlighting the brand's radical overhaul of its brand identity. Six different covers are available, each representing one of the most architecturally distinctive Louis Vuitton stores in the world: Beijing, Paris, Seoul, New York, Tokyo and Singapore.
