Louis Vuitton fosters the idea that an atelier can be a place of fulfillment and individuality. A place where savoir-faire can be learned, respected and transmitted - and innovation nurtured - by artisans who routinely challenge the image of a traditional workshop. In pursuit of regional expertise and artisanal excellence, Louis Vuitton’s ateliers span the length and breadth of France and beyond, from Geneva (Switzerland), to Fiesso d’Artico (Italy) and even Texas (USA). Sites of historic interest or outstanding natural beauty will often have a Louis Vuitton workshop nearby: in Normandy, the sea-girt fastness of Mont-Saint-Michel can be seen from the workshop at Ducey, and in Beaulieu-sur-Layon, the light-flooded facility promises low environmental impact. Featuring photographs commissioned exclusively for this book, the volume showcases the extraordinary locations and buildings of Louis Vuitton’s ateliers, and the equally extraordinary artisans who express their talent through Louis Vuitton’s creations (trunks, bags, fragrances, watches, shoes, high jewelry and ready-to- wear), while carrying the founder’s techniques and savoir-faire into the twenty-first century. It is to these ateliers and the inspiring people who work there that this book is dedicated.
As part of three exclusive fashion stories, Harry appeared in the 23rd issue of Another Man in 2016.

I think we we’re all on the edge of our seats yesterday watching the tense tennis match which Andy Murray came out champion. Very well done!
But one thing I noticed was Murray’s girlfriend; Kim Sears wearing Victoria Beckham! She wore a long sleeved pastel green dress with cut out details from the Spring/Summer 2013 collection and teamed it with a Mulberry bag and Raybans.
Mrs Beckham herself was only seats away sporting a black spagehetti strap lace dress by Louis Vuitton.
