“The house responsible for logo mania draws from its archives of campaigns and editorials for a master class in visual storytelling.” –
Elle “This is an ode to Louis Vuitton. The sizable volume certainly projects the brand’s import as well as status within the world of fashion. Everything from its size, to the paper, to the quality of reproduction is top shelf all the way. Not only does the book prove the enormous appeal of the brand, but it also provides the reader with a who’s who of photography of the 20th century. If you really read the captions and the text, what you find out is that the styling of these photos/images is equally as important as the image themselves and their photographers…the book will make a great gift especially to those who have an affection for the brand and its designers over the last 20-year period...There are fabulous visuals that most will have never seen before." –
