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.

MIAMI
Seductive, sun-kissed, devoted to outdoor pleasures,
dominated by the Four Seasons Hotel and the ultra-
modern office buildings of its central business district,
a tropical paradise by day and an urban playground
by night, with a vibrant music scene, this fashionable city

and Caribbean cultures.

RIO DE JANEIRO                                                     SHANGHAI

ROME
Rome is the cradle of western civilization. The magnificent
ruins of ancient Rome, the wonders of the Renaissance
and its Baroque treasures harmonize perfectly. Such variety
does not overwhelm its two millennia of history: rather
it highlights the charm of the city’s lifestyle and the beauty
that can be enjoyed in its palaces, gardens, museums,
trattorias and ice-cream parlours, or seen while wandering
in its alleyways or daydreaming by a fountain.
SINGAPORE
In less than 50 years, Singapore has grown from a peaceful
fishing village into one of the world’s most vibrant cities.
Its reputation as a leading provider of services and its
reliability as a city built for business have earned it
the nickname “Singapore Inc.” But this is far from the whole
story. Nurturing creativity is also one of Singapore’s strong
points, making this Asian destination an extraordinary city
where everyone wants to live.

SYDNEY
Spirited and bathed in sea breezes, Australia’s most
cosmopolitan city is a great place to live, its claims to fame
including the bay lit at night by the office buildings of
the business district, the steel arch of the Harbour Bridge,
not to forget the futuristic and beastlike silhouette of
the Opera House with its fins extended, ready to set sail.

TOKYO
Hip to the latest fashion trends and technologically
savvy, this chameleon city offers an astonishing marriage
of modernity and tradition, from sleek contemporary
architecture to the ancient art treasures of the Asakusa
district, fascinating visitors with its seemingly boundless
ambition, inspiration and energy.

VENICE
By turns festive and secretive, this city of dreams and
illusions between sea and sky reserves its inexhaustible
artistic heritage and its contemporary creativity for those
who, venturing beyond the usual tourist attractions,
take the time to explore its labyrinth of narrow streets
and canals.

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.
