Miami Beach, FL – December 5, 2013 – The beach, barbecue and a beautiful installation combined when Louis Vuitton hosted its barbecue for the Design Miami satellite installation of Charlotte Perriand’s “La Maison au bord de l’eau— 1934” at The Raleigh Hotel on South Beach. Hosted by Louis Vuitton Malletier Chairman and CEO Michael Burke with Alexia Niedzielski, co-founder of System Magazine, and Jean Pigozzi, art collector, philanthropist and photographer. At the heart of the celebration was Perriand’s version of the modern home. The house, which was conceived decades ago, was finally completed in 2013 at Art Basel Miami Beach and serves as the inspiration for the brand’s Spring/Summer 2014 “Icons” ready-to-wear, leathergoods, shoes and accessories collections.

The select customers invited to the event, including Michelle Williams, Delphine Arnault, Kate Young, Louise Bourgoin, Becca Cason Thrash, Julio Santo Domingo, Pernette Perriand, Lily Kwong and Colette Rousseaux, enjoyed a beachside barbecue, lobster, stone crabs and fish tacos, while taking in the installation that reflects a generous 1930’s utopia linking social needs with architecture.
