Recently, Louis Vuitton opened its latest flagship store in the Shinjuku area of Toyko. The french luxury house operates two other boutiques in the area, but has now added its first street level standalone store.
The two-story building features women’s bags and accessories on the 1st floor and travel luggage, men’s items and women’s shoes and pret-a-porter on the 2nd floor. At the center stairwell, a stunning light sculpture created by Korean artist Do-Ho Suh ties the store together. Called “Cause and Effect,” Suh’s sculpture is made up of 42,000 clear acrylic resin human figures hanging from a ceiling frame crafted out of stainless steel and aluminum.
Window displays designed by Sofia Coppola, which were also shown in the windows of Le Bon Marche Paris in October, are currently on display until mid-January.
