CHRISTIAN BOLTANSKI – ANIMITAS
From November 11, 2017 to March 31, 2018, the Espace Louis Vuitton München is honoured to present Animitas, by French artist Christian Boltanski.

Since the 1970s, famous French artist Christian Boltanski has developed a highly personal oeuvre that largely consists of photographic and light installations combined with conceptual art.

From November 11, 2017 to March 31, 2018, the Espace is honoured to present Animitas, one of his most ambitious recent projects: creating outdoor installations in deserted places, using bells and haikus to echo the configuration of stars on the night of his birth: September 6, 1944.

Conceived in the framework of the Fondation Louis Vuitton’s “Hors-les-murs” program, this exhibition displays two video installations from the Collection, Animitas (2014), shot in the desert of Atacama (Chile) and Animitas (Blanc) (2017), filmed on Quebec’s Île d’Orléans (Canada), and brings together, in a meditative atmosphere, four pieces questioning the passing of time.

PERSONALISE YOUR BELT
Louis Vuitton presents My LV Belt: a new exclusive in-store service for men.

For the first time, the Maison invites you to create a belt with your own selection of buckles and straps. With 240 possible combinations, My LV Belt ensures a unique and personalised belt adapted to each man’s individual taste.

Choose from 14 leather straps, ranging from the reversible iconic Taurillon and calf leather straps in classic or playful color combinations, to the non-reversible exotics in ostrich or crocodile. The new 35 mm strap width delivers a modern and sophisticated touch.

12 lighter and thinner redesigned buckles provide the ultimate finishing detail. The new offer ranges from iconic LV Signature buckles in shiny gold, palladium or ruthenium to twisted buckles, a reinterpretation of the classic LV buckle, by way of more precious, finely inlayed buckles with elegant olive wood or agata zebrata.

For further personalisation, initials can also be hot-stamped inside the strap.

THE 2018 CRUISE CAMPAIGN
Louis Vuitton presents actress Alicia Vikander as the embodiment of the 2018 Cruise Collection.

Within a spectacular setting where sky and sea are at their purest, the 2018 Cruise campaign crystalizes the balance between strength and serenity at the heart of the collection.

Lensed by photographer Patrick Demarchelier, the images feature Alicia Vikander accompanied by variations of the Twist and Capucine handbags. Transported from the show in Kyoto to this remote island of Ibiza, they stand out as striking signals of craftsmanship and design. Meanwhile, Alicia lingers through the landscape, her looks channeling the maverick spirit of Kansai Yamamoto whose vision inspired Nicolas Ghesquière this season.

References to Japanese ceremonial dress, samurai, traditional landscape artworks, and Kabuki theatre all emerge through pieces conceived as streamlined statements. In these moments of freedom, the collection becomes yet another expression of Louis Vuitton’s embrace of travel. When the Twist bag adorned with kabuki stickers appears at Alicia’s side, it’s as though she is holding onto a future memento.

LOUIS VUITTON BUILDING TAIPEI
Louis Vuitton celebrates the reopening of its LV building Taipei.

Following the renovation of its Taipei Zhungshan store last year, Louis Vuitton announces the reopening of its renovated store, now called LV Building Taipei. The new store is a four-level structure located on Zhungshan North Road. Serving as a one-stop shopping destination, the spacious venue boasts includes an exquisite VIP area and offers all categories of Men’s and Women’s products, including leather goods, shoes, ready-to-wear, accessories, watches, jewellery and fragrance.

Apart from the sleek, modern décor, the store is decorated with a collection of artwork and furniture that adds an artistic and elegant dimension to the retail space. New York-based luxury retail architect Peter Marino and his design team carefully selected the furniture for the store, creating a deluxe yet cosy atmosphere. In addition, an array of exquisite trunks of varying forms, colours, materials and age are placed throughout the LV Building. A Louis Vuitton trunk custom-made for revered Taiwanese actress and filmmaker Ms. Sylvia Chang is also on display as a special exhibit for the store opening.

THE 2018 CRUISE CAMPAIGN
Discover actress Alicia Vikander at the edge of the world in Nicolas Ghesquière’s Japan-inspired collection.

Amidst an oceanic idyll, Alicia Vikander finds balance in beauty; she draws strength from the elements, and revels in the solitude.

Realized by Patrick Demarchelier, the film presents Nicolas Ghesquière’s homage to Japan as a journey outward to a minimalist sanctuary, and inward to the soul. Traditional landscape brocades and warrior-inspired surface details channel a dual longing for inner peace and empowerment.

As the camera sweeps over the water, landing on Alicia gazing out at the sunset, or exploring the remote terrain, it becomes clear that this assertive collection is her only link to the world she left behind.
