Louis Vuitton‘s pop-up store offensive continues, and a second wave of global openings is dedicated to the brand’s A/W 2019 Women’s Collection by creative director Nicolas Ghesquière. With a flagship store of its own and two shop-in-shops, the luxury behemoth already has a significant presence in Tokyo‘s upscale shopping neighbourhood of Ginza, but chose to boost its profile a little further with an ephemeral retail space at luxury shopping mall Ginza Six. The shop can be found right below the imposing atrium on the venue’s second floor, and features a colour-infused setting around a display of clustered utility pipes and other elements which all reference Centre Pompidou‘s landmark building in Paris. The Louis Vuitton pop-up store carries a range of bags, including items from the highly coveted LV Pop collection, in addition to accessories, small leather goods, and textiles. Mind you, a large number of products on offer here are exclusive to Japan (open through Aug 4).

Publishers Note
Just to be clear – superfuture® is a design blog and not a political commentator. No surprise there. The scope of our content has always been global and borderless, however that can often mean covering projects in countries where we will not agree with the politics or actions of those countries. In a world that’s as screwed up as ever right now, the focus of our support is to those designers, architects and other creatives who aim to make the world a more liveable one – as opposed to people that try their hardest to destroy it. So if a project hits our desk and we like it based on its design credentials, we may choose to publish regardless of its location or creators nationality. superfuture® has always been inclusive and hopes for all current wars, aggression, violence, hate and extremism to end.
