Frank Gehry's Buildings Reimagined as Louis Vuitton Bags
Categories
The architect Frank Gehry has collaborated with the French fashion brand Louis Vuitton to create a unique new collection of handbags that pays homage to the great works of the Pritzker Prize winner.
The collaboration between Louis Vuitton and Frank Gehry has resulted in a truly distinctive handbag collection. The collection comprises a dozen models inspired by Gehry's most iconic projects.
This isn't the first time Louis Vuitton and Frank Gehry have worked together. In 2014, the architect designed the Louis Vuitton Foundation building in Paris, which has become an architectural landmark. Additionally, in 2021, he also designed the bottles for Jacques Cavallier's perfume collection for Louis Vuitton.
The handbags presented at the latest edition of Art Basel Miami Beach encapsulate the Pritzker laureate's creative process in terms of architecture and form, material exploration, and animism. Moreover, each design incorporates elements from Gehry's most iconic urban and sculptural works.
