Louis Vuitton et 'L'Élégance Automobile - Serge Bellu - 1st edition, Paris, 2007

Published by Édition de la Martinière, 1st edition, Paris, 2007. Hardback with French text.

The history of Louis Vuitton has always been intricately linked to travelling, especially on the gentility of travelling with style. The early suitcases made by Louis Vuitton were meant to go onto carriages and horsebacks, nowadays we have a change of scenario with automobiles functioning in lieu of the horses and carriages. Automobiles are testaments that applied art objects could be just as elegant and in the same rank as other art categories. Written by the writer and illustrator Serge Bellu, you are in for a treat with gorgeous archive photos from the intertwined history between Louis Vuitton and the art of travelling, and many many modern and gorgeously streamlined automobiles in those marvellously illustrated pages.
