Located at the corner of Fifth Avenue and 57th Street, the LVMH building stands as a landmark of luxury and design in the heart of Manhattan. Home to Louis Vuitton’s flagship store, this architectural gem embodies the elegance and innovation of the iconic fashion house. In late 2024, the building’s façade was reimagined with a bold installation featuring a vertical cascade of Courrier Lozine 90 trunks—a nod to the brand’s historic roots in trunk-making and its deep connection to New York City. This transformation signals the start of an ambitious renovation that will redefine the retail experience.
With its sleek glass exterior and dynamic retail presence, the LVMH building continues to be a symbol of creativity and timeless craftsmanship in one of the world’s most prestigious shopping districts.
