Publisher's Synopsis
On 5 March 2014, Juergen Teller photographed the eagerly anticipated first collection by Nicolas Ghesqui+¿re as the new artistic director of Louis Vuitton. In his inimitable style, Teller visualizes the designerÔÇÖs ambitious manifesto for the luxury house: ÔÇ£Louis Vuitton is a land of contrasts. A time-honored and noble legacy is kept alive by a yearning for discovery and exploration. Coursing boldly and imaginatively through the decades, Louis Vuitton refreshes the world of fashion with an untiring ebb and flow of retrospective and fresh perspective ÔǪ This initial collection tells a tale of expertise made possible by innovative techniques. It focuses on the highlights and remains open to interpretation. Living proof that todayÔÇÖs ÔÇÿtimelessÔÇÖ was at one time seen as innovative. In this collection, the timeless is now.ÔÇØ This book is a collaboration between two of the most influential vanguards working in contemporary fashion. TellerÔÇÖs candid, unadorned aesthetic perfectly complements the restrained luxury of Ghesqui+¿reÔÇÖs fashion, marking the beginning of a new chapter in the rich history of Louis Vuitton.
