The Louis Vuitton x Frank Gehry Collection is for fans of luxury fashion and architecture alike, and through handbag designs, it explores themes that were fundamental to the Canadian-American architect's career. Architecture and Form, Material Exploration and Animals were the inspiration for this limited-edition, luxury handbag collection.
While the Capucines bag is reimagined through an architectural eye, the vision for the Concrete Pockets bag was brought to life with 3D printing and The Analog Bag mimics the geometric style of Gehry’s IAC Building in New York City.
At Art Basel Miami Beach, the luxury label's display booth offers a look at the legendary architect's design process with wood and cardboard models, as well as playful reimaginings of Gehry’s works like Twisted Box Trunk from the Celebrating Monogram series.
