時尚迷必看展覽！日本東京「LOUIS VUITTON＆」展期資訊、5大亮點一次看
「LOUIS VUITTON＆」亮點5. 手袋、行李箱變身藝術家的畫布
路易威登與藝術家合作的最精彩篇章絕對就是Artycapucines系列！將LV的包款化為可隨身攜帶的畫布，無論是村上隆的趣味漫畫人物、Jeff Koons重新演繹的《蒙娜麗莎的微笑》，還是路易威登的經典主題（例如代表性的1896年Monogram），全部都經過重新設計和改造，這個展區呈現橫跨超過25年歲月的當代頂尖藝術家合作計畫，迄今已邀請12位藝術家讓這款手袋脫胎換骨。
Louis Vuitton 40 年東京銀座並木旗艦變身，再推出首個 Le Chocolat V 巧克力專賣店！
儘管這些日子不能出國，不過作為時尚迷當然還是要記下每一個旅遊目的地，還記得去年一月開幕，位於大阪整棟樓的御堂筋旗艦店嗎？找來 Peter Marino 與日本建築師青木淳操刀，四層樓的空間還藏了與大廚須賀洋介合作的 Le Café V，以及另一個隱密餐廳 Sugalabo V，跨足餐飲的野心讓人躍躍欲試。
不過除此之外，沒想到一年之後 Louis Vuitton 還有驚喜，這一回是趁著東京銀座並木專賣店的華麗變身，七層樓的空間，同樣找來 Peter Marino 與青木淳設計，外觀是以雙層玻璃構成，整面雕琢充滿了流動性，毫無縫隙的外層玻璃面板彎曲起伏，雙色薄膜創造了無窮無盡的色彩變化，無論是近看、遠看都會讓人忍不住將目光停下。
在 Louis Vuitton 東京銀座並木專賣店的空間裡有男裝、女裝、珠寶、旅行用品、香水… 等品項，除此之外，還留了空間作為常設的快閃店、貴賓沙龍，參考御堂筋店的規劃，或許大家已經猜到了最頂樓還有另一間 Le Café V，不過可不會想到還有「Le Chocolat V」巧克力專賣店！

Jun Aoki wraps Louis Vuitton Ginza Namiki store in pearlescent facade
Japanese studio Jun Aoki & Associates has created a distinctive flagship store for Louis Vuitton in Tokyo’s Ginza shopping district with an undulating facade and interiors by architect Peter Marino.
Replacing the brand’s previous store, which has occupied the same corner since 1981, the seven-storey Louis Vuitton Ginza Namiki store is wrapped in a water-like facade.
Designed by Jun Aoki and Associates, this undulating pearlescent facade was created to give the building a modern look and reflect Ginza’s location near Tokyo Bay.
“The building’s highly modern appearance interprets the reflections of water as a material phenomenon,” said Louis Vuitton.
“Poetic yet playful; shimmering and rhythmic. Once a peninsula extending in Tokyo Bay, this evocation of water is expressed throughout as smooth, undulating surfaces – from the glass facade that transmits shifting colour to the feature staircase and fixtures.”
The facade was constructed from two layers of glass that curve and ripple like water, which was covered with a dichroic film to create a pearlescent colouring.
A clear opening at the corner of the ground floor showcases the latest collections and allows glimpses of the art-filled, natured inspired interiors by New York-based studio Peter Marino.
“Jun Aoki’s facade is at once monolithic and imbued with fluidity – his representation of a ‘pillar of water’,” said Louis Vuitton.
“At street level, the building reflects the dynamism of Ginza; higher up, neighbouring towers become wavy apparitions, while a skyscape sweeps across the glass, marking the passage of each day.”
The lower four floors of the store are dedicated to retail. Pale stone covers the floor of the ground level with curved panelling on ceilings to add a three-dimensional effect.

Throughout the retail spaces textured walls, curved surfaces and a wood and glass material palette fill the space adding a lightness to the interior while reinforcing the natural theme.
The retail floors are connected by a central staircase constructed from sculptural oak and glass that winds through the store surrounding by suspended jellyfish with monogram detailing.
A secondary staircase at the rear of the store employs a similar material palette and is framed by a four-storey feature wall that reinterprets a painting by Japanese artist Kimiko Fujimura and reflects the buildings organic aesthetic.
Furniture by Pierre Paulin was added to inject acidic hues to the tonal interior, bright pinks and oranges can be found throughout the women’s floors while reds, blues, and muted yellows fill the men’s.
The store also includes a permanent space to showcase new arrivals as well as a VIP area on the sixth floor and the Le Café V on the building’s top floor.
Jun Aoki & Associates has completed several other projects for the fashion house, including this a flagship store in Osaka wrapped in curved glass sails and the nearby Ginza store that has a perforated facade based on the Vuitton monogram.
Marino has similarly renovated the brand’s New Bond Street store in London that uses artworks by Tracy Emin and the Campana Brothers.
