Louis Vuitton has teamed with world-renowned, luxury-book publisher, Assouline, to produce a major new book: Louis Vuitton Windows.

The iconic French luxury house’s eminent store-fronts are compelling in their lateral concepts. Congruent in the brand’s controlled yet impassioned creativity, stories – a more apt word –  feature roller coasters, golden dinosaurs, hot-air balloons, train carriages.

Vanessa Friedman, Fashion Director of The New York Times and International New York Times, produced an introduction for the 168-page tome, which contains five gatefolds, 150 illustrations and are all hand-bound in rubber.

The book is out this week and can be purchased at ASSOULINE boutiques globally and online.
