Description

This updated edition of Louis Vuitton: The Birth of Modern Luxury—presented by Paul-Gérard Pasols, the former director of communications for Louis Vuitton and a longtime consultant for the company—describes the dramatic rise of the world’s finest luxury company. Written with full access to the company’s archives, this incredible volume demonstrates Louis Vuitton’s passion for fine design with a stunning array of archival art, product designs, and cutting- edge advertising. The company is examined through the lives of its first three leaders—founder Louis (who invented the modern trunk), his son Georges, and his grandson Gaston. Now with fresh information on subjects such as designs for ready-to-wear clothing, shoes, jewelry, and even automobiles, this revised edition includes 20 additional pages and updated material throughout the book, covering the brand’s recent history, with new text and photographs. This book is a work of art, perfect for gifting. Read more

  • One of The World's Most Iconic Brands - A Complete Study
Purchased this book for my girlfriend as Christmas gift. She loves fashion be it clothes, shoes, jewelry or purses. She burst into tears of joy when she opened this book as her gift because firstly, she was overwhelmed by the thoughtfulness of a book that embodied her passions and secondly, she the content was so comprehensive with history and photos of an iconic fashion. She's still gushing over this gift and recently texted me stating "This was a home run!" (Hey guys, are you jealous of my gal?) This is a heavy book and the Amazon box was larger than the book which means it could have shifted in the box causing damage during shipment... mine was just fine however, you may read other reviews where book cover corners were bent. This would be a legitimate concern and candidly I do not know why Amazon has not corrected this problem. If you view the one star reviews you will read complaints about a handle not being on the book cover as seen in the photo. Duh!!! Really??? Are there actually consumers spending nearly $100 on a book with that expectation? In closing, this book about the Louis Vuitton brand is a complete and deep study in one of the world's most iconic brands and deserves a place in your library or coffee table. ... show more
