New Mags Book Louis Vuitton: The Birth of Modern Luxury 25x5.7x32 cm

Language: English.

In the same format as our spectacular The Birth of Modern Luxury (540 pages, 600 illustrations) comes Louis Vuitton: The History of the Travel Trunk. This book provides the definitive story of the creation of their legendary travel luggage. In the mid-nineteenth century, trains and steamships transformed transportation and opened the world to a new generation of travelers. Louis Vuitton recognized the need for more practical luggage and committed himself to creating products adaptable to all situations. Authors Pierre-Léon Forte and Florence Muller explore every aspect of this story, from Louis Vuitton's apprenticeship in traditional boxmaking to the revolution of the stackable, flat-topped trunk; from the development of the tumbler lock to the creation of the LV monogram canvas. It also includes examples of devoted clients such as Queen Elizabeth II and explorer Pierre S. De Brazza. Illustrated with 600 images from the Vuitton archives, this book will be the definitive volume on the dedication of a man and his children to the creation of objects of luxury and practicality. Bio creator Pierre Leon Forte has worked at Louis Vuitton for many years and is currently editor-in-chief of the Vuitton City Guide series. Florence Muller is a historian, correspondent for Surface magazine, and professor at the Institut Francais de la Mode in Paris, where she lives. She is the author, among other books, of Abrams' Yves Saint Laurent: Style.
