Product Description
Luxury and art have never been more closely linked than they are in these early years of the twenty-first century. Virtually all the world’s major luxury houses have associated themselves with contemporary art through sponsorships, commissions, or foundations, and these points of exchange nourish the increasingly symbiotic relationship between fashion, art, and other design disciplines. Of all modern luxury brands, Louis Vuitton can claim to maintain the richest and most varied associations with the world of art. Included in this volume are Louis Vuitton’s important collaborations with an elite group of artists, architects, designers, and photographers, such as Jun Aoki, Shigeru Ban, Vanessa Beecroft, Olafur Eliasson, Zaha Hadid, David LaChapelle, Jean Larivière, Annie Leibovitz, Takashi Murakami, Richard Prince, Stephen Sprouse, James Turrell, Inez Van Lamsweerde, and Vinoodh Matadin. The book is structured as a seductive anthology of the house’s most visible collaborations. Critical essays examine and position Louis Vuitton’s patronage—under the guidance of Artistic Director Marc Jacobs—during one of the most fertile periods of contemporary art and design.

All VUITTON Lovers & Fashionista's will just LOVE this Book!! It's a page turning work of art!! The Photos are Gorgeous High Quality Shots, & the Entire Book is just Exquisite!! It's a Superb Gift for the Vuitton Admirer & makes a Beautiful Coffee Table book but is also a MUST HAVE in any Fashion Book Collection! It shows various Vuitton Prints done in sensational Artistic Ways, as well as selected Luggage pieces, Bags & Accessories, along with Vuitton Loving Celebrities! It is NOT a Dictionary or Encyclopedia of all their various styles & designs thru the years, but it's an ESSENTIAL Fashion Book that makes my Belly Jitter just at sight! Any Die Hard Vuitton Lover; (such as myself), will NOT Dislike this book...it's just Impossible!!! It's absolutely worth its Price & is packed with Beauty, Knowledge, & the Art of a Master Craftsman!!! Love Love Love Love it!!! & For the Reviewer below who said the book wasnt made well...I dont know what book he has or is looking at???!!! its a big hefty book, & is made EXCEPTIONALLY WELL!! If his is like that then he should return it for another cause he got a dud! YOU WILL LOVE LOVE THIS BOOK!
 construction a little shoddy October 2, 2009

The contents of this book are wonderful, edgy photography, great subject matter.
If you are expecting just fashion, this is not the book for you. It contains storefronts, (hint:architecture in the title), art and just enough fashion to satisfy a woman. The actual book I received is a little shoddy.The binding does not seem strong and it feels the pages may come out with a lot of use. There also was
tearing on the title page next to the spine, this is a new book and I am a liitle
disappointed in the condition.
The Art of LV September 24, 2009

This is a ginormous book chronicling all of the wonderful collaborations LV has done with artists and photographers. It's large format, full color, beautiful paper and an impressive collection. Whether you are a collector or just a fan this book provides plenty of reference material and inspiration. From Takashi Murakami to Stephen Sprouse to Richard Prince and many, many others this showcases all of the wonderful designs that have come from these artistic mashups. It's all here and looks fabulous. For fans of the artists and for LV lovers this is a visual treat and highly recommended.
