Louis Vuitton continues to collaborate with Frank Gehry. At the Art Basel Miami Beach contemporary art fair, \u200b\u200bthe LVMH group\u2019s leading label has presented a capsule collection of handbags designed by renowned US-Canadian architect Frank Gehry, the brains behind the building of the Louis Vuitton Foundation in Paris.<\/p>\n

Louis Vuitton has taken part for the second consecutive year in the art event, held on December 8-10 in Miami, Florida. The label is one of the fair\u2019s global partners, and is present at the fair\u2019s 21st edition with a stand showcasing its long-standing collaboration with Gehry, who also designed in 2014 the shop windows of the label\u2019s Parisian stores, as well as the Twisted Box handbag.<\/p>\n
The latter is one of the four themes of the Louis Vuitton stand (the others being architecture and form, materials exploration, and animals), which showcases a range of trunks, perfume bottles, original artworks, sketches, architectural models and handbags, all of them created by Gehry.<\/p>\n
The architect, 94, is renowned for the organic aesthetic of his imposing, destructured buildings, and is still brimming with creative energy. He has designed among others the Cin\u00e9math\u00e8que Fran\u00e7aise film archives in Paris, the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, and the spectacular Luma Tower in Arles, France, in 2021.<\/p>\n
The limited-edition collection consists of a dozen models, some of them inspired by Gehry\u2019s most famous projects, like the clutch replica of his Bear With Us sculpture. The focus is on craftsmanship and unique materials, as shown by the Capucines MM Concrete Pockets bag, whose calfskin outer structure is made with an innovative embossed screen-printing method replicating the different textures of the concrete used in some of Gehry\u2019s buildings.<\/p>\n
