Miami, FL – April 16, 2015 – As much a tribute to art and design as to couture fashion, Louis Vuitton’s stunning new emporium ushers in a vibrant era of sophisticated shopping and high style both inside and out. Aside from offering the complete world of Louis Vuitton leather goods, ready-to-wear, shoes, accessories, watches and fine jewelry, the architectural gem boasts an aluminum paneled facade created by Japanese architect Jun Aoki in collaboration with Mirei Uchibe. It is an abstract representation of Louis Vuitton’s iconic Damier pattern. The interior space portrays influences from Art Deco design and 1950’s Tropical Modernism, paying homage to the architectural history of Miami Beach. This, as well as original artworks, a gallery space and landscaped rooftop courtyard make this a must-visit travel destination.

On Thursday, April 16, Louis Vuitton celebrated its newest store opening in Miami’s Design District. Noteworthy guests in attendance included, President and CEO of Louis Vuitton Americas, Anthony Ledru, co-director of Art Basel, Marc Spiegler, co-founder of Miami’s Design District, Craig Robins, famed art collector and wife, Jason and Michelle Rubell, and New World Symphony Gala chair, Tatiana Silva.
