NOTED PHOTOGRAPHERS CAPTURE VIEWS OF EACH CITY EXCLUSIVELY FOR LOUIS VUITTON The Louis Vuitton City Guides have always placed special emphasis on the finely crafted contributions of their authors, supporting them in their quest to find just the right words and an appropriately elegant style to reveal the soul of each city. Without departing in any way from this philosophy, the City Guides now include photographic contributions to offer their readers an additional perspective, not merely to illustrate the text. The photography collective Tendance Floue has produced a new series of images for the City Guides and some exclusive photographs for the Louis Vuitton City Guide App which are proposed in The Scenic Route chapter. The collective’s photographers sensitively capture the charms and distinctive allure of destination in original ways. Founded in 1991, Tendance Floue, a collective of thirteen photographers sees itself as a laboratory, exploring the world and working together to open up new horizons and diversify approaches in contemporary photography. Apart from the personal aspect of their work, Tendance Floue’s members have all taken on the shared goal of contributing to a wider photographic mission. By joining, combining, comparing and contrasting their images, they move their work beyond the limits of individual creation to something entirely new. Tendance Floue looks behind every door, experiments with all techniques and processes used in contemporary photography, without taboos.

LOUIS VUITTON PUBLISHING Louis Vuitton has operated its own publishing house for some fifteen years and today offers a catalogue of more than 80 titles, including two collections focused on travel: its “City Guides” and “Travel Books”. Louis Vuitton also produces a series of richly illustrated volumes in association with several international publishers as well as art books, in limited editions signed and numbered by the artists, exclusively for sale at Louis Vuitton stores. Books have always held pride of place in the history of the House of Vuitton. Gaston-Louis Vuitton (1883–1970), grandson of the founder, was himself an avid collector and keen bibliophile, whose tastes ranged from literature to art books. He founded three bibliophile societies and maintained a prolific correspondence with the publishers, illustrators and writers of his day. When the Louis Vuitton store on the Champs-Elysées opened its doors in 1914, it already featured a comfortable reading and letter-writing room for its customers. This tradition continues into the present day at the Louis Vuitton bookstores which offer a choice selection of books on art, fashion, design and travel.
