Currently covering 43 cities across print and digital editions, the Louis Vuitton City Guide is an indispensable partner for the seasoned traveler. This spring, revised editions for Bangkok, London, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Paris, Rome, and Tokyo will be released. The new editions feature previously unpublished content, offering an even more enriching experience.
Since its launch in 1998, Louis Vuitton has infused the City Guide collection with a nomadic charm, proposing each destination from a fresh and personal perspective. Each city is portrayed by independent writers and special guests from diverse backgrounds. This year, chef Chalee Kader invites readers on a tour of Bangkok, Matthew Yokobosky, Senior Curator of Fashion and Material Culture at the Brooklyn Museum, guides readers through the streets of New York, while renowned artist Eva Jospin shares her vision of Paris.
Serving as a true barometer of tastes and preferences, each uniquely styled guide is designed with curious travelers, discerning business travelers, and sophisticated locals in mind. The guides feature a wealth of fascinating palaces and hotels, fine dining and vibrant local eateries, bustling markets and high-quality delicatessens, antique shops, and contemporary design galleries. Beyond boutiques, museums, and independent bookstores, secret gardens, iconic landmarks, and hidden gems are well worth exploring. For the first time, this revised edition of the City Guide includes illustrated pages introducing the city's history and key events, alongside special features highlighting local prominent figures from various fields who have shaped the city.
Contributions by outside experts with keen observational skills
The City Guide is written by skilled communicators who masterfully weave words. To capture the true essence and spirit of each city, Louis Vuitton commissioned journalists, writers, and prominent figures in the arts and literary worlds to contribute. Many of them live across multiple locations and frequently appear in prominent newspapers and magazines. Their contributions, along with those from various types of artists, businesspeople, and creators, are backed by Louis Vuitton's trust and experience, making each City Guide a unique and valuable book with original perspectives. Curious, cosmopolitan, bold, humorous, and literary, each City Guide reflects the personalities of its contributors. They all possess keen observational skills in life, breadth of cultural knowledge, and a sense of lightness and elegance. They have the unique talent of appreciating both the trivial and the essential, seeking out the true wonders within the many small joys each City Guide offers.
Personal perspectives from special guests on cities they are connected to
Each Louis Vuitton City Guide features a special guest offering a personal perspective on the city. These guides are celebrities and local insiders who introduce recommended places and unique viewpoints, sometimes opening their own address books to share favorite and regular spots. Travelers can enjoy the destination from the unique perspective of someone who truly knows the city.
This year brings new faces who speak about their beloved cities with fun and surprising insights. In London, DJ and electronic music producer Daniel Avery appears; in Miami, key art world figure and Commission co-founder Dejha Carrington is featured; and in Bangkok, chef Chalee Kader makes an appearance.
New expressions of each city captured by photographers
In the City Guide series, Louis Vuitton has always valued the carefully woven words of its authors. The brand supports their quest to find appropriate expressions and elegant styles to convey the essence of each city to readers. Without compromising this philosophy, the purpose of adding photographs is to offer readers a different perspective, not merely to supplement the text. This role is fulfilled by Tendance Floue, a Paris-based photography collective that contributed a new series of photographs to this year's City Guide. One destination, one perspective. Each photographer seeks to discover their 'own' city. Capturing the local people
