Louis Vuitton 2009 City Guides ? Paris, the City of Light at the Crossroads of Culture
In my previous postings related to Louis Vuitton City Guides, I have occupied myself in introducing the contents of theses books. Their boxes and covers are also distinctive and meaningful. The redesigned City Guides boxes reference the heritage of Louis Vuitton, drawing inspiration from a vintage luggage label of the kind hotel bellboys would affix to travellers’ trunks. While deep brown makes an appearance, adding its distinct character to the collection, the guide still features the bright colours that have become its trademark over the past ten years. Pistachio Green for the European cities, Royal Blue for Paris, Rosewood for Tokyo, Magenta for Mumbai, Buttercup for New York and Almond Green for Miami. Now let’s open the blue cover to appreciate the city of light at the crossroads of culture. The Paris City Guide reveals all of the elegance of the French capital through the prism of 500 addresses chosen with distinctive taste and flair. Fashion designers and design trendspotters, unusual antiques, secret museums and art galleries, gourmet restaurants and local eateries… Available for the first time in its own slipcase, the 2009 edition of the Paris City Guide observes the city with a unique, original and deliberately unconventional eye. As the same with other city guides, the City Guide Paris is compiled by a team of independent journalists and illustrated by Ruben Toledo. It includes a special section on Paris by Kiraz, the illustrator for his drawings of “Parisiennes”. No matter business or leisure traveler, I bet this city guide would help you a lot.
