Fashion Eye Books Collection by Louis Vuitton

Louis Vuitton launched “Fashion Eye”, a collection of travel photography books.
After the City Guides with their refreshing perspective on cities, the Travel Books’ new approach of the artist’s notebook, it is the turn of travel photography to explore fashion through the eyes of emerging talents and the greatest fashion photographers.
Synonymous with the art of travel since 1854, Louis Vuitton continues to add titles to its “Fashion Eye” collection.
Each photographic album evokes a city, a region, or a country through a hundred or so large-format photographs. A new permanent collection to be enriched with new titles every year.
The series gives rise to an unprecedented dialogue between emerging talents, seasoned photographers and fashion photography legends. It confronts contemporary creations with little-known archival treasures to create a collection of invaluable reference works, as much in terms of its approach as its aesthetics.

This special collection gets its start with five titles: Miami by Guy Bourdin, Paris by Jeanloup Sieff, Shanghai by Wing Shya, California by Kourtney Roy, and India by Henry Clarke.
Readers can expect to see rare images taken by renowned fashion photographers decades ago. The India book, for instance, features a series of snapshots taken by Clarke during his trips for Vogue in the 1960s. In addition to large-format photographs, the books also include critical essays and interviews with some of the photographers.
Éditions Louis Vuitton presented during the past summer season two new photography books in this Fashion Eye collection. The French photographer Laura Bonnefous teases out connections between pictorial and graphic forms to convey the poetics of the new Angolan city of Kilamba, while the Nigerian photographer Daniel Obasi offers a series of militant yet fanciful images of a vibrant Lagos.
