Paying tribute to Louis' innovative legacy, the exhibition offers a stage for these original and unique pieces created by 200 visionaries and friends of the Maison. The collective tribute to Louis Vuitton's founder started its world tour in Asnières, near Paris, in December 2019, and will touch down for a few months in Singapore, Beijing, Tokyo, New York and London throughout 2022.
In order to mark the milestone birthday of August 4th, the Maison invited a mosaic of talents from all walks of life to take part in the initiative, spanning arts and culture, sciences, sports, humanitarian causes, and so on. The objective? Personalize the emblematic Louis Vuitton trunk and create their own version, with abstract concepts and dreamlike expressions. Visionaries such as Jean-Michel Othoniel, Jean-Philippe Delhomme, Nigo and BTS have left their print. They all used a metaphorical blank canvas measuring 50 x 50 x 100 centimeters, approximately the dimensions of the original trunk that Louis designed in the 1850s, and left their imagination take over. Faye McLeod, Louis Vuitton's Visual Image Director, says "this project has always been about creativity, a real tribute to Louis' ingenuity and entrepreneurial spirit. We get to see how such a cross-section of talents answered the same brief while also taking a moment to appreciate the man himself."
