CELEBRATING THE ART OF TRAVEL SINCE 1854, THIS AUTUMN LOUIS VUITTON IS SETTING OFF AGAIN FOR NEW HORIZONS, WITH THE PUBLICATION OF THREE NEW TITLES IN ITS FASHION EYE SERIES OF PHOTOGRAPHY BOOKS: PARIS BY MELVIN SOKOLSKY, PARIS BY FENG LI AND LONDON BY ROBI RODRIGUEZ. AS WITH PREVIOUS TITLES, EACH BOOK REVEALS A COUNTRY, REGION, CITY OR PLACE THROUGH THE GAZE OFA FASHION PHOTOGRAPHER.
For the first time ever, the American photographer Melvin Sokolsky brings together images from his two most iconic fashion series shot in Paris: Bubble (1963) and Fly (1965), which glide us over the French capital with supreme elegance. Not to be undone, the Chinese photographer Feng Li offers a decidedly unconventional take on the City of Light by combining biting irony with romantic lyricism. Last but not least, the Spanish photographer Robi Rodriguez weaves a cinematic narrative of his adopted London, where the city and its people become the players in a story on the fringes of everyday life. A natural fit for the soul of travel, photography is an evident form of expression for Louis Vuitton. Our editorial process makes sure that the book is granted the status of a medium in its own right, with the singular aim of continually renewing its visual vocabulary in different ways. Fashion Eye is a tailor-made series. Each type of paper or binding, each layout, and sometimes even the printing processes used, in keeping with artisanal tradition, serve the title at hand. For a book is first and foremost the work of an author, a designer and a printer. Title after title, a broad compendium of perspectives emerges, one that shifts with the destinations, including urban panoramas and natural landscapes, scenes of local life, and more contemplative work, with images in colour and/or black and white. Each book in the series features an ample selection of large‑format photographs, accompanied by biographical information and an interview with the photographer or a critical essay. Fashion Eye gives rise to an unprecedented dialogue between emerging talents, seasoned photographers and fashion photography legends. It confronts contemporary creation with little-known archival treasures to create a collection of invaluable reference works, as much in terms of its approach as its aesthetics.
