WORLD OF LOUIS VUITTON

I finally got the chance to post about the incredible temporary exhibit I saw a few weeks ago.

The Louis Vuitton Series 2 Exhibit is an installation that embraces the modern vision of Louis Vuitton today with its long history, starting in 1854. The exhibition is laid out so that viewers can experience the LV brand in various environments—think 3-D projections, mirrors, photo-collages, and videos, which bring to life a behind-the-scenes look at the brand. The exhibit features mirrors, videos, historical items from the collection, stark white walls and mannequins holding their iconic bags, a "backstage" room featuring racks of clothing assigned to models. It is a fun fashion escape that educates you about the brand and how it is expertly constructed.

You enter through a dark room to be greeted by an illuminating red LV sign. Once you get past that installation, a second room with multiple faces greets you. Each room has a unique meaning and purpose.

The room that stuck out the most was the one where it showed the complete hand-made process of each product (specifically the LV heels). It made you appreciate the craft of fashion.

The digital projections in the 3d installation were stark contrasts to the pure white product gallery space. I liked the mix of digital and physical products, the chance ot learn how the products are made as well as seeing the real products displayed like art objects. The music was awesome, the lighting, the magic trunk, the holograms and runway show, really every aspect was more than I would have expected.
