Charming, straightforward, and effective, Louis Vuitton’s Holiday 2011 window display theme is inspired by the splendor of the circus.
“Louis Vuitton is very familiar with this magical universe. The inventiveness of the Maison’s founders and the skill of its craftsmen were so well known in the circus world that it would appear that Houdini, the famous conjurer who defied every security mechanism in the late 19th century, even decided against confronting the – said to be impregnable – locks on Louis Vuitton trunks. Documents of the time show that the mime artist Kita always had his customised trunk to hand,even on stage.”
Launching this Friday, November 18th, the windows feature a mannequin walking a tightrope and a painted elephant balancing on a ball to showcase the bag. It’s incredibly charming, so I encourage you to visit your boutique. Love it!!!
