Louis Vuitton has chosen Los Angeles as the first destination for its Louis Vuitton Series 2 — Past, Present and Future exhibition.
The exhibit is a modern and unexpected interpretation of a fashion show that contextualizes the Spring 2015 Women’s Ready-to-Wear collection, conceived by the French luxury label's Women's Artistic Director, Nicolas Ghesquière.
The exhibit allows visitors to explore the creative process behind the collection through a "series" of distinctive rooms that thematically share his influences and inspirations as well as the excitement of the fashion show experience.
The entrance to the exhibit, called "Abstract Title" is through an oversized LV logo; initially the seal of founder Louis Vuitton, who launched his house as a trunk maker in 1854, which Ghesquière has revived from the archives in neon lights.
The next room "Talking Faces" allows visitors to experience the opening animation of Ghesquière's spring 2015 women’s collection show.
"Magic Trunk" shows one of the house’s most recognizable products in hologram projections, blending past inspirations, current designs and future ideas.
The "Savoir-fair Room" focuses on the "Malletage" inspired by the inside of a Vuitton trunk.
"Backstage" recreates the excitement of a traditional fashion show experience, from the perspective of the backstage.
"Infinite Show Room" is a 360-degree projection room showing all 48 looks of this collection.
"Accessories Gallery" showcases the objects on the pure white canvas of Marte Mei van Haaster’s scanned, 3-D printed figures alongside heritage pieces.
The exhibition runs from 6 to 22 February at 1135 North Highland Avenue and is open to the public daily.
