Louis Vuitton invites visitors to step into a new chapter of its storied legacy with the launch of the “Louis Vuitton Art Deco” exhibition at LV Dream in Paris. Running from now until 2026, the exhibition pays homage to one of the most defining movements of the 20th century — Art Deco — and its enduring influence on the Maison’s creativity, craftsmanship, and identity.
A Celebration of Art Deco’s Enduring Influence
The exhibition unfolds across eight immersive themed rooms, each dedicated to exploring how the Art Deco movement shaped Louis Vuitton’s evolution in design and savoir-faire. Visitors will encounter a visual dialogue between past and present — from intricate travel pieces and modern trunks to architectural forms and artistic motifs that defined an era of innovation and elegance.
A Tribute to the 1925 Paris Exposition
This landmark showcase also commemorates the centenary of the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes, the Paris event that gave Art Deco its name. During that period, Louis Vuitton participated in the exposition, marking its place among pioneers who merged art and industry. The new exhibition honors that legacy by reinterpreting the spirit of the 1925 event through contemporary design and archival treasures.
The Vision of Gaston-Louis Vuitton
At the heart of the exhibition is Gaston-Louis Vuitton, the founder’s grandson who led the House into the modern age. A passionate collector and design innovator, he championed clean lines and geometric precision. His artistic collaborations became defining hallmarks of the Louis Vuitton aesthetic. His influence continues to resonate through the House’s dedication to excellence, creativity, and timeless sophistication.
A Glimpse into Louis Vuitton’s First Beauty Creations
The exhibition also celebrates an often-overlooked chapter in the brand’s history — Louis Vuitton’s early steps into the world of beauty. Visitors will see the House’s first toiletries kits, crafted with Art Deco elegance and modern luxury. These pieces reveal how Louis Vuitton blended practicality with artistry, setting the foundation for its contemporary beauty collections.
A Journey Through Design, Heritage, and Innovation
“Louis Vuitton Art Deco” goes beyond revisiting a defining artistic era. It invites guests to see how that creative spirit continues to shape the House today. Through interactive installations and archival masterpieces, the exhibition reveals Louis Vuitton’s ongoing dialogue between innovation and heritage — a timeless pursuit of beauty and excellence.
