Since 1998, Louis Vuitton has firmly established itself as the loyal companion for discerning travellers with its City Guide collection. Both practical and inspiring, each title is an invitation to explore the world’s most beautiful cities through a unique lens. This year, Louis Vuitton is recommending unmissable places to visit in Bodrum, Marbella, Portofino and Taormina through a new compact and illustrated format.
A Collection Brought to Life by Independent Voices
Each sun-drenched destination is brought to light through guides written by independent writers and guests from all walks of life. Sailor, chef and poet Fatih Bas unveils Bodrum, while gallerist Isolina Arbulu accompanies us through the streets of Marbella. Architect, designer and journalist Clara Bona and artist Alessandro Florio respectively recount their experiences of Portofino and Taormina. It also provides an opportunity for artists Blexbolex, Brice Postma Uzel, Aline Zalko and Audrey Spiry to depict the picturesque charm of these Mediterranean gems through a series of illustrations, each in their own unique style. Showcasing their distinctive artistic sensibility, they strive to reveal both the iconic landmarks and hidden gems of these four destinations for an unforgettable travel experience.
