Louis Vuitton Exhibit

Louis Vuitton pop-up shop, formerly Brooks Brothers,  468 No. Rodeo Dr., Beverly Hills

Last Friday, Rhoda and I visited the Louis Vuitton special exhibit in Beverly Hills. WOW! Even if you don't know who Louis Vuitton was or never bought any of his products, this is an amazing display. The care that was taken to provide visitors with a total experience is spectacular! It's FREE. Opens at 10am, go early to avoid the crowds. Easy parking in the BH lots at Little Santa Monica and Rodeo.

The show is an examination of the 160 year history of the company and its creative collaborations. From the 1980s on, many artists were asked to incorporate their designs into Louis Vuitton products. There are pieces by Karl Lagerfeld, Cindy Sherman, Frank Gehry, Yayoi Kusama and more!

Each new room of the exhibit was a total experience. Some of the rooms reminded me of the old "America the Beautiful" Circarama at Disneyland in 1960, where you stand in the center of a room and screens surround you with moving images! The images at the LV pop-up shop are, of course, images of Louis Vuitton products and artwork and their inspiration. It's dizzying! Watch the video on the web page for an idea.

There are rooms of gorgeous designer fashions, handbags and more lovely items to inspire you!
