Designer Collaborations of Louis Vitton

Time Capsule exhibition in Mexico City, we confirm one thing: Mexicans are obsessed with Louis Vuitton. This show had to extend its dates and broke a world record with 93,683 visitors. Yes, we love Louis Vuitton, and we are passionate about the long history of its relationship with art.

As the pioneer and epitome of luxury fashion, throughout its 165-year history, Louis Vuitton has been built on craftsmanship excellence and creative exchange. On the occasion of the recent collaborative project Artycapucines, the “Louis Vuitton X” exhibition has opened in Beverly Hills, taking you on a journey of their artistic collaborations.
