It's not every day the average person would find themselves setting foot into some of the most expensive stores in the world, but thanks to Gregoire Vieille, they don't have to. This photographer, who studied in Paris, France, has taken it upon himself to capture the interior of such luxury retail spaces as Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Givenchy and Balenciaga for those who would never dream of entering such haloed ground -- at least to those in the fashion industry.
Interestingly, Gregoire Vieille's work focuses more on the architecture and design of the space than what is typically held their. Each shot is empty of product, allowing people to see the space itself and how it affects their shopping experience on a different level.
