Today, LouisVuitton is showing off a bit of its history in Beverly Hills with a new exhibition titled “Louis Vuitton X.” Go inside here.
Timed to the exhibition, LV will unveil six new artist collaborations with Sam Falls, Urs Fischer, Nicholas Hlobo, Alex Israel, Tschabalala Self, and Jonas Wood. Each of those contemporary artists interpreted the label’s Capucines bag, named after the location of its first store in Paris. The classically shaped tote was embroidered by Falls, woven and morphed by Hlobo, collaged by Self, and embroidered and dyed by Wood.
If that seems wildly fun, just wait until you see Fischer’s bag, which transforms his fruit sculptures and paintings into dangling charms. “I’m not someone who is usually comfortable taking on commissioned work, but occasionally I stumble across something that I am happy to do, and this was the case with the Capucines bag,” Fischer said, explaining he intentionally chose to represent organic forms over man-made objects.
So a sexy bag that doubles as an art project that comes at the end of a smart and social media–friendly exhibition that will make all your friends jealous? Do we need to say more? We’ll we just add this: Rumor has it all of LV’s famous friends are coming to celebrate the show and collaborations sometime this week—you won’t want to miss it.is on view June 28 to September 15 at 468 North Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills. Admission is free.
