LV Christmas Windows

Louis Vuitton unveiled their Christmas windows in London's flagship - the result of a competition with the iconic design college, Central Saint Martins. Louis Vuitton held a competition back in March of this year, commissioning 80 graduates from the BA course to come up with a design for the Christmas windows, to be featured in all 380 stores worldwide. The result is "Latitude 48.194 / Longitude 02.286", a masterfully simple creation and a synthesis of the brand's core principles: a three-dimensional topographical map of the area surrounding Asnieres, made from poplar wood, used for the frame of the Louis Vuitton trunks since 1854. Graphic, abstract, poetic and historic, it is proof that creativity is not something acquired through age or experience. SOURCE
