The art of travel is celebrated by Louis Vuitton since 1854. Historical trunks of the House still influence the designers. The French luxury maison continues the tradition of travel so key to the luxury house with “Fashion Eye” – a new collection of photographic travel books. The collection opens with five titles: California by Kourtney Roy, India by Henry Clarke, Miami by Guy Bourdin, Paris by Jeanloup Sieff, and Shanghai by Wing Shya. Expect urban panoramas and natural landscapes, scenes of local life and more contemplative works.

Each new travel photo book showcases a city, country, or region seen through the lens of established or up- and-coming photographers, both contemporary stars and leading figures of decades past.

Of course, each photographer is providing their own personal point of view: “flashy and delectable shots, personal archives, iconic staging, sophisticated and glamorous photographs, and intense black-and-white images.”
