LV NOW

The Fall-Winter 2019 Pre-Collection sees the launch of Louis Vuitton Staples Edition, a new line developed by Men's Artistic Director Virgil Abloh. Informed by the idea of wardrobe staples, the standalone collection refines the essential garments and accessories that form the foundation of a man's dress components. Studying and perfecting every garment and accessory, Virgil Abloh amplifies cuts, techniques, and fabrications to propose an elevated yet functional wardrobe. Louis Vuitton Staples Edition consecrates contemporary ideas of wardrobe essentials through pieces rooted in sportswear, normcore, and the casual dress code, all labeled with a branded metal staple.

From the checkered flags of the race track to the checkered canvas invented by Louis Vuitton over a century ago, the world of motorsports provides inspiration for this season's capsule collection of Men's bags, small leather goods, and more. Bright orange detailing pops against Louis Vuitton's iconic Damier motif reinterpreted in cobalt blue for an eye-catching and sporty look. The Collection includes mainstay models such as the Keepall, Discovery Backpack, and Pochette Voyage, all featuring a new signature logo from the Men's Spring-Summer 2019 Show along with other references to the history of the Maison.
The limited-edition Damier Cobalt Race Collection is now available through July 2019, in Louis Vuitton stores and online.

Back in 2002, Louis Vuitton made its watchmaking debut with the Tambour, an unprecedented timepiece that integrates all of the Maison's values into its design - from the Louis Vuitton letters engraved on its case to the yellow second hand like the waxed thread used in the Maison's classic bags. Beyond multiple references, the Tambour model has come to symbolize Louis Vuitton's core identity, it represents a signature that combines a timeless look with renewed technical performance and can be worn with a large variety of straps.

"Today, a collection of interchangeable Tambour watch straps, featuring Louis Vuitton’s innovative patented system that allows wearers to easily swap out the straps to suit the occasion and invent their own style, is constantly growing.

Endlessly interchangeable, with an easy-to-use system, these straps allows wearers to instantly switch up the style of any Tambour watch.

Time for a change !"

The Espace Louis Vuitton München, within the framework of the Fondation Louis Vuitton "Hors-les-murs" program, invites you to experience two films by Amar Kanwar, Henningsvaer (2006) and A Love Story (2010), alongside a recent installation selected by the artist himself, Letter 5 (2017). Amar Kanwar is an artist and filmmaker who lives and works in New Delhi. His oeuvre, deeply marked by the history of his country, shows multiple influences ranging from 15th and 16th-century Indian poetry to the cinema of Russian director Andrei Tarkovski. Kanwar's works encourage reflection and examine nationalism, politics, violence, and social performance through video and sound installations. Kanwar invites the viewer on a potent personal experience and aspires to incite new generations of artists to rethink the social consequences of their work.

Like many of his films, Henningsvaer (2006) is a complex contemporary narrative that connects intimate personal spheres of existence to larger social-political processes – in this case a cinematic interpretation of separation and exile. Mixing historical footage, personal testimony and lyrical cinematography, Kanwar creates a multi-layered film installation connecting intimate personal histories with the wider politics of power and justice. A Love Story (2010), a much shorter film, is a short poetic documentary set on the fringe of an expanding Indian city, addressing conditions of conflict through the combination of poetic sensibility and political consciousness.

The Monogram like you've never seen it before. Dating from 1896 when Georges Vuitton created the pattern of interlocking LV's and florals, the iconic motif has become an instantly recognizable symbol and endless source of inspiration for the Maison. The latest reinterpretation magnifies the print to new proportions with the Monogram Giant capsule collection. On a selection of familiar leather goods such as the Speedy bag or the Zippy wallet, to versatile accessories like the LV Iconic Reversible belt or XL Shawl, the new Monogram Giant adds a fashion-forward touch to any silhouette.

The Monogram Giant capsule is currently available exclusively online
