INDEPENDENT CONTRIBUTORS
ALL KEEN OBSERVERS
A PERSONAL VIEW OF THE CITY
FROM A SPECIAL GUEST
This new collection of guides for the world’s most exciting cities
would not have been possible were it not for our excellent team
of 50 contributors, supported by unrivalled editors, translators,
copy editors, editorial assistants, production experts and
many other professionals. Expert wordsmiths and seasoned
communicators are behind every guide in the collection.
Each Louis Vuitton City Guide includes the participation of a special
guest contributor, who all speak from personal experience of their
home cities. Local celebrities or insiders, they take the reader on a
personal exploration of their city, along the way sharing tips on their
favorite spots : a first person singular initiation to the city. At various
points throughout the guides and at the end of each chapter, these
guest contributors open their personal address books and divulge
several secret preferred haunts.
To capture the heart and spirit of each city, Louis Vuitton reaches out to journalists,
writers, major figures in the world of arts and letters, many of whom divide their time
between two cities and whose work often appears in the most prestigious newspapers
and magazines. Several authors often collaborate on one city, as is the case for Bangkok,
Chicago, Paris, Prague, Singapore, Istanbul, Milan and Shanghai. Their contributions,
joined with those of artists, businesspeople, creative geniuses of various stripes, all backed
by the authority and experience of Louis Vuitton, make each City Guide a publication
like no other – original, offbeat and invaluable. Bursting with curiosity, cosmopolitan,
irreverent, playful and literary, each guide reflects the personalities of its contributors.
All of them are astute observers of life and wear their vast cultural knowledge with
ease and elegance. They have the rare gift of being able to appreciate both the frivolous
and the essential, seeking out what is truly magnificent in the many little pleasures
each city has to offer.
For example, Prince M.L. Poomchai Chumbala suggests some of the elegant highlights
to discover in Bangkok, while the film director Ivan Zachariáš takes the reader for a stroll
around his favorite parts of central Prague. Catherine Colonna, French ambassador
to Rome, paints a highly personal picture of the Eternal City and Naomi Beckwith,
a curator at the Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art, creates a fascinating portrait
of her city. Plus there is the very talented interior designer Faye Toogood in London,
the great director Takeshi Kitano in Tokyo, the actor Guillaume Gallienne and his wife
Amandine in Paris. Some singular new voices offering an entertaining and unexpected look
at the cities they love.
NOTED PHOTOGRAPHERS CAPTURE VIEWS
OF EACH CITY EXCLUSIVELY FOR LOUIS VUITTON
The Louis Vuitton City Guides have always placed special
emphasis on the finely crafted contributions of their authors,
supporting them in their quest to find just the right words
and an appropriately elegant style to reveal the soul of each city.
Without departing in any way from this philosophy, the City Guides
now include photographic contributions to offer their readers
an additional perspective, not merely to illustrate the text.
The photography collective Tendance Floue has produced a new
series of images for the City Guides and some exclusive photographs
for the Louis Vuitton City Guide App which are proposed
in The Scenic Route chapter.
The collective’s photographers sensitively capture the charms and distinctive allure
of destination in original ways.
Founded in 1991, Tendance Floue, a collective of thirteen photographers sees itself
as a laboratory, exploring the world and working together to open up new horizons
and diversify approaches in contemporary photography. Apart from the personal aspect
of their work, Tendance Floue’s members have all taken on the shared goal of contributing
to a wider photographic mission. By joining, combining, comparing and contrasting
their images, they move their work beyond the limits of individual creation to something
entirely new. Tendance Floue looks behind every door, experiments with all techniques
and processes used in contemporary photography, without taboos.
A TOUR OF THE WORLD IN 25 CITIES
BANGKOK
CHICAGO
Very much a 24-hour city, Bangkok is home to openminded inhabitants imbued with a vital energy.
With its legendary street food and a booming fine dining
scene, the city rightly claims to be Asia’s culinary capital.
Bangkok also boasts a growing arts and entertainment
scene, and its quality of life and vivacious ambience
ensure that Bangkok will remain an ever-welcoming,
world-class city.
Chicago is where Frank Lloyd Wright found his
architectural footing and where literary giants such as
Nelson Algren and Saul Bellow penned their most famous
lines. Its museums are known worldwide and its avantgarde plays are often hits in New York later. The Windy
City embraces, in one sweep, the handsome Lake Michigan,
stunning parkland and head-spinning skyscrapers.
BEIJING
HONG KONG
A capital of strong contrasts, between peace and turmoil.
Today’s architectural marvels sprout alongside landmarks
dating back as much as three millennia. Phenomenal
economic growth in recent years sets this city’s rhythm
and energy, creating an urban landscape in a constant
process of becoming.
Nestled between sea and mountains, a group of islands
and peninsulas with limited room to grow is home to this
fascinating metropolis, peppered with more skyscrapers
than any other city in the world, reaching ever higher,
with thronging streets, a frenetic pace of life and, amidst
this joyous chaos, the grace of a Zen temple or the
sanctuary of a botanical garden. The entrancingly lit skyline
at night is a symphony of color reflected in waters plied
by catamarans, sampans and ferryboats.
BERLIN
ISTANBUL
Berlin has never stopped reinventing itself, drawing its
dynamism from its history and its transformations. Today,
its landmark buildings have regained their splendour and
grace. The former East Berlin has been entirely rehabilitated
and now a vast program of architectural renovation and
urban renewal is under way in West Berlin. Open-minded,
free-spirited and tolerant, Berlin is an extremely modern city,
standing as a beacon of reconciliation.
A magical city, Istanbul brims with life, against a backdrop
of Ottoman riches and ornate palaces. Captivating, proud
and boisterous, like the waters of the Bosporus, the city
is constantly changing, painting each visit in a new color.
Contemporary, bubbling over with creativity, Istanbul
draws inspiration from its past to move forward into
the future, with force, delicacy and determination.
CAPE TOWN
Table Mountain offers dramatic panoramas of the African
continent’s southernmost city, its beaches, the blue
immensity of the ocean. Down below, a concert of white
and black African identities awaits the visitor, a meeting
point of geographies, cultures and histories, from great
open spaces to the vestiges of the colonial past in the
bustling City Bowl area, from the posh villas of Constantia
to the futuristic post-apartheid constructions of a city
in transformation, open to the world.
LONDON
MILAN
Stretching for many miles on either side of the Thames,
this dynamic capital takes pride in its ethnic diversity
while still embodying the quintessential British spirit,
which shines through in a vast assortment of unique
places, each with its own very special atmosphere, from
the fantastically eccentric Speaker’s Corner in Hyde Park
to the stiff-upper-lip luxury of Belgravia, from the nocturnal
playground of Soho to the imposing behemoths of a storied
financial center, the City.
Italy’s financial capital and the main city of the prosperous
northern province of Lombardy, a center for publishing
and the press industry, Milan proudly boasts a new
urban landscape created in advance of Expo 2015,
the next world fair. Now more than ever the city stands
as a magnet for fashion and design, a trendsetter for
an international lifestyle that draws streams of visitors
from around the world.
LOS ANGELES
The stuff of which legends are made: West Hollywood,
Sunset Boulevard, Beverly Hills…. Stars climbing out
of poverty to fame and fortune, movie magic at the
studios, light and shadow. This modern city, the largest
on America’s Pacific coast, long known for its maze
of highways, the sun-drenched beaches of Santa Monica,
Venice and Malibu, is taking on a new identity today,
remaking its downtown area as a world-class destination
anchored by major cultural institutions.
MOSCOW
Brash, bold and beautiful, its history stretching back
nearly a thousand years, the Russian capital revels
in its artistry and majesty. From gilt domes to holy
sanctuaries, from the severity of Soviet-era urban planning
to the splendor of world-renowned art collections, and the
gaudy razzle-dazzle of its nightclubs, this eclectic city never
fails to enthrall.
MEXICO CITY
NEW YORK
This sprawling city, one of the world’s most populous
metropolitan areas, offers a passionate mosaic of colorful
neighborhoods, known as colonias, where diversity rather
than unity is the byword. From the bustling and energetic
historic center to Tepito in the north, notoriously home
to the country’s largest informal market, contrasting with
picturesque and artistic Coyoacán and the aristocratic
tranquility of San Angel in the south.
The city that never sleeps, a dream destination for
travelers, with an infectious spirit of camaraderie, offers
surprises to its visitors not just when they move from one
neighborhood to the next but on every corner. Geometric
and awe-inspiring Manhattan, the vast yet human scale
of intellectual and artistic Brooklyn, the melting pot
of cultures vividly on display in Queens—an exciting
and desire-kindling metropolis, that stays with visitors long
after they leave.
MIAMI
Seductive, sun-kissed, devoted to outdoor pleasures,
dominated by the Four Seasons Hotel and the ultramodern office buildings of its central business district,
a tropical paradise by day and an urban playground
by night, with a vibrant music scene, this fashionable city
is at the crossroads of North American, Latin American,
and Caribbean cultures.
PARIS
SÃO PAULO
Synonymous with elegance, the quintessential city of light
wears the marks of its long history effortlessly on every
corner. Always a romantic backdrop, straddling the banks
of a river where dreams come true. A city that retains a hint
of insolence and jauntiness from its insubordinate past,
inspiring artists, creative spirits, connoisseurs and all lovers
of luxury and beauty.
Welcoming, prosperous, wheeling-dealing, burning
the candle at both ends, contagious in its effervescence,
this economic success story and emerging-market paragon,
the largest metropolis in the Southern Hemisphere,
with its thousands of buildings, including many skyscrapers
reaching to the heavens, is constantly in motion.
PRAGUE
SEOUL
Prague has mastered the art of unlikely combinations:
the astonishing jumble of Baroque churches in Malá Strana
find their counterpart in the medieval town bristling with
Gothic towers. Beyond, avenues of Art Nouveau buildings
in all forms stretch into the distance. With its rich past and
proud cultures, Prague remains the jewel of Central Europe,
yet far from being a city-museum, it engages energetically
with the modern world.
Buddhist temples and gardens are oases in this fast-growing
megacity. Provocative building facades are complemented
by the eclectic galleries of a booming contemporary
art scene, where local artists vie for acclaim with highly
creative and engaging multimedia works. The dynamic and
light-hearted South Korean capital, a high-tech hotbed,
deftly marries its taste for innovation and design with
a party spirit.
RIO DE JANEIRO
SHANGHAI
Both provincial and sophisticated, beautiful and wild,
Rio is a modern, tropical and multicultural metropolis
that revels in paradox. From lush forests to closely packed
skyscrapers, modern architectural masterpieces to elegant
colonial residences, glamour to religious fervor, beaches
to ultra-contemporary museums, there really is no other
city quite like it on the planet.
At the vanguard of world economic development, Shanghai
teems with avant-garde office buildings dangling above the
clouds and counts nearly 25 million residents. Although
quite often beset by thick smog, on some days the sky can
be a brilliant blue. The city’s weather is a study in contrasts:
frigid winters, humid and very hot summers. Owing to
these extremes, Shanghai’s energy has plenty of bite, firmly
asserting its position as a fascinating metropolis at the cusp
of the future.
ROME
Rome is the cradle of western civilization. The magnificent
ruins of ancient Rome, the wonders of the Renaissance
and its Baroque treasures harmonize perfectly. Such variety
does not overwhelm its two millennia of history: rather
it highlights the charm of the city’s lifestyle and the beauty
that can be enjoyed in its palaces, gardens, museums,
trattorias and ice-cream parlours, or seen while wandering
in its alleyways or daydreaming by a fountain.
SINGAPORE
In less than 50 years, Singapore has grown from a peaceful
fishing village into one of the world’s most vibrant cities.
Its reputation as a leading provider of services and its
reliability as a city built for business have earned it
the nickname “Singapore Inc.” But this is far from the whole
story. Nurturing creativity is also one of Singapore’s strong
points, making this Asian destination an extraordinary city
where everyone wants to live.
SYDNEY
Spirited and bathed in sea breezes, Australia’s most
cosmopolitan city is a great place to live, its claims to fame
including the bay lit at night by the office buildings of
the business district, the steel arch of the Harbour Bridge,
not to forget the futuristic and beastlike silhouette of
the Opera House with its fins extended, ready to set sail.
TOKYO
Hip to the latest fashion trends and technologically
savvy, this chameleon city offers an astonishing marriage
of modernity and tradition, from sleek contemporary
architecture to the ancient art treasures of the Asakusa
district, fascinating visitors with its seemingly boundless
ambition, inspiration and energy.
VENICE
By turns festive and secretive, this city of dreams and
illusions between sea and sky reserves its inexhaustible
artistic heritage and its contemporary creativity for those
who, venturing beyond the usual tourist attractions,
take the time to explore its labyrinth of narrow streets
and canals.

LOUIS VUITTON PUBLISHING
Louis Vuitton has operated its own publishing house for some fifteen years
and today offers a catalogue of more than 80 titles, including two collections focused
on travel: its “City Guides” and “Travel Books”. Louis Vuitton also produces a series
of richly illustrated volumes in association with several international publishers
as well as art books, in limited editions signed and numbered by the artists,
exclusively for sale at Louis Vuitton stores.
Books have always held pride of place in the history of the House of Vuitton.
Gaston-Louis Vuitton (1883–1970), grandson of the founder, was himself an avid
collector and keen bibliophile, whose tastes ranged from literature to art books.
He founded three bibliophile societies and maintained a prolific correspondence
with the publishers, illustrators and writers of his day.
When the Louis Vuitton store on the Champs-Elysées opened its doors in 1914,
it already featured a comfortable reading and letter-writing room for its customers.
This tradition continues into the present day at the Louis Vuitton bookstores
which offer a choice selection of books on art, fashion, design and travel.
