Expert wordsmiths and seasoned communicators are behind every guide in the collection.

To capture the heart and spirit of each city, Louis Vuitton reaches out to journalists, writers, major figures in the world of arts and letters, many of whom divide their time between two!cities and whose work often appears in the most prestigious newspapers and magazines. Several authors often collaborate on one city, as is the case for Bangkok, Chicago, Paris, Prague, Singapore, Istanbul, Milan and Shanghai. Their contributions, joined with those of artists, businesspeople, creative geniuses of various stripes, all backed by the authority and experience of Louis Vuitton, make each City Guide a publication like no other – original, offbeat and invaluable. Bursting with curiosity, cosmopolitan, irreverent, playful and literary, each guide reflects the personalities of its contributors. All!of them are astute observers of life and wear their vast cultural knowledge with ease and elegance. They have the rare gift of being able to appreciate both the frivolous and!the!essential, seeking out what is truly magnificent in the many little pleasures each!city!has to!offer.

A PERSONAL VIEW OF THE CITY FROM!A!SPECIAL!GUESTEach Louis Vui!on City Guide includes the participation of a"special guest contributor, who all speak from personal experience of their home cities. Local celebrities or insiders, they take the"reader on"a personal exploration of their city, along the way sharing tips on"their favorite spots : a %rst person singular initiation to the"city. At"various points throughout the guides and at the end of each chapter, these guest contributors open their personal address books and divulge several secret preferred haunts.

For example, Prince M.L. Poomchai Chumbala suggests some of the elegant highlights to discover in Bangkok, while the film director Ivan Zachariá# takes the reader for a stroll around his favorite parts of central Prague. Catherine Colonna, French ambassador to!Rome, paints a highly personal picture of the Eternal City and Naomi Beckwith, a!curator at the Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art, creates a fascinating portrait of her city. Plus!there is the very talented interior designer Faye Toogood in London, the great director Takeshi Kitano in Tokyo, the actor Guillaume Gallienne and his wife Amandine in Paris.

NOTED PHOTOGRAPHERS CAPTURE VIEWS OF!EACH CITY EXCLUSIVELY FOR LOUIS VUITTON$e Louis Vui!on City Guides have always placed special emphasis on the %nely cra(ed contributions of their authors, supporting them in their quest to %nd just the right words and"an"appropriately elegant style to reveal the soul of each city. Without departing in any"way from this philosophy, the"City"Guides now include photographic contributions to o#er their readers an additional perspective, not"merely to illustrate the text. $e"photography collective Tendance Floue has produced a new series of images for the City"Guides and some exclusive photographs for the Louis"Vui!on City"Guide App which are proposed in"$e"Scenic"Route chapter.

The collective’s photographers sensitively capture the charms and distinctive allure of!destination in original ways.

Founded in 1991, Tendance Floue, a collective of thirteen photographers sees itself as!a laboratory, exploring the world and working together to open up new horizons and!diversify approaches in contemporary photography. Apart from the personal aspect of their work, Tendance Floue’s members have all taken on the shared goal of contributing to a wider photographic mission. By joining, combining, comparing and contrasting their images, they move their work beyond the limits of individual creation to something entirely new. Tendance Floue looks behind every door, experiments with all techniques and!processes used in contemporary photography, without taboos.

A TOUR OF THE WORLD IN 25 CITIES

BERLINBerlin has never stopped reinventing itself, drawing its dynamism from its history and its transformations. Today, its landmark buildings have regained their splendour and grace. The former East Berlin has been entirely rehabilitated and now a vast program of architectural renovation and urban renewal is under way in West Berlin. Open-minded, free-spirited and tolerant, Berlin is an extremely modern city, standing as a beacon of!reconciliation.

CHICAGOChicago is where Frank Lloyd Wright found his architectural footing and where literary giants such as Nelson Algren and Saul Bellow penned their most famous lines. Its museums are known worldwide and its avant-garde plays are often hits in New York later. The Windy City embraces, in one sweep, the handsome Lake Michigan, stunning parkland and head-spinning skyscrapers.

BEIJINGA capital of strong contrasts, between peace and turmoil. Today’s architectural marvels sprout alongside landmarks dating back as much as three millennia. Phenomenal economic growth in recent years sets this city’s rhythm and!energy, creating an urban landscape in a constant process of becoming.

HONG KONG Nestled between sea and mountains, a group of islands and peninsulas with limited room to grow is home to this fascinating metropolis, peppered with more skyscrapers than any other city in the world, reaching ever higher, with!thronging streets, a frenetic pace of life and, amidst this joyous chaos, the grace of a Zen temple or the sanctuary of a botanical garden. The entrancingly lit skyline at night is a!symphony of color reflected in waters plied by!catamarans, sampans and ferryboats.

BANGKOKVery much a 24-hour city, Bangkok is home to open-minded inhabitants imbued with a vital energy. With!its!legendary street food and a booming fine dining scene, the city rightly claims to be Asia’s culinary capital. Bangkok also boasts a growing arts and entertainment scene, and!its!quality of life and vivacious ambience ensure that Bangkok will remain an ever-welcoming, world-class!city.

CAPE TOWNTable Mountain offers dramatic panoramas of the African continent’s southernmost city, its beaches, the blue immensity of the ocean. Down below, a concert of white and black African identities awaits the visitor, a meeting point of geographies, cultures and histories, from great open spaces to the vestiges of the colonial past in the bustling City Bowl area, from the posh villas of Constantia to the futuristic post-apartheid constructions of a city in!transformation, open to the world.

ISTANBULA magical city, Istanbul brims with life, against a backdrop of Ottoman riches and ornate palaces. Captivating, proud and boisterous, like the waters of the Bosporus, the city is constantly changing, painting each visit in a!new color. Contemporary, bubbling over with creativity, Istanbul draws inspiration from its past to move forward into the!future, with force, delicacy and determination.

MOSCOWBrash, bold and beautiful, its history stretching back nearly a thousand years, the Russian capital revels in its!artistry and majesty. From gilt domes to holy sanctuaries, from!the!severity of Soviet-era urban planning to the!splendor of world-renowned art collections, and the gaudy razzle-dazzle of its nightclubs, this eclectic city never fails to!enthrall.

MILAN Italy’s financial capital and the main city of the prosperous northern province of Lombardy, a center for publishing and the press industry, Milan proudly boasts a new urban landscape created in advance of Expo 2015, the!next world fair. Now more than ever the city stands as a magnet for fashion and design, a trendsetter for an!international lifestyle that draws streams of visitors from!around!the!world.

MIAMISeductive, sun-kissed, devoted to outdoor pleasures, dominated by the Four Seasons Hotel and the ultra-modern office buildings of its central business district, a tropical paradise by day and an urban playground by!night, with a vibrant music scene, this fashionable city is!at the crossroads of North American, Latin American, and!Caribbean cultures.

NEW YORK The city that never sleeps, a dream destination for travelers, with an infectious spirit of camaraderie, offers surprises to its visitors not just when they move from one neighborhood to the next but on every corner. Geometric and awe-inspiring Manhattan, the vast yet human scale of intellectual and artistic Brooklyn, the melting pot of cultures vividly on display in Queens—an exciting and!desire-kindling metropolis, that stays with visitors long after they leave.

MEXICO CITY This sprawling city, one of the world’s most populous metropolitan areas, offers a passionate mosaic of colorful neighborhoods, known as colonias, where diversity rather than unity is the byword. From the bustling and energetic historic center to Tepito in the north, notoriously home to the country’s largest informal market, contrasting with picturesque and artistic Coyoacán and the aristocratic tranquility of San Angel in the south.

LONDONStretching for many miles on either side of the Thames, this!dynamic capital takes pride in its ethnic diversity while still embodying the quintessential British spirit, which shines through in a vast assortment of unique places, each!with its own very special atmosphere, from the!fantastically eccentric Speaker’s Corner in Hyde Park to!the stiff-upper-lip luxury of Belgravia, from the nocturnal playground of!Soho to the imposing behemoths of a storied financial center, the City.

LOS ANGELESThe stuff of which legends are made: West Hollywood, Sunset Boulevard, Beverly Hills…. Stars climbing out of poverty to fame and fortune, movie magic at the studios, light and shadow. This modern city, the largest on America’s Pacific coast, long known for its maze of!highways, the sun-drenched beaches of Santa Monica, Venice and Malibu, is taking on a new identity today, remaking its downtown area as a world-class destination anchored by major cultural institutions.

SEOULBuddhist temples and gardens are oases in this fast-growing megacity. Provocative building facades are complemented by the eclectic galleries of a booming contemporary art scene, where local artists vie for acclaim with highly creative and engaging multimedia works. The dynamic and light-hearted South Korean capital, a high-tech hotbed, deftly marries its taste for innovation and design with a!party spirit.

SÃO PAULOWelcoming, prosperous, wheeling-dealing, burning the!candle at both ends, contagious in its effervescence, this economic success story and emerging-market paragon, the largest metropolis in the Southern Hemisphere, with!its!thousands of buildings, including many skyscrapers reaching to the heavens, is constantly in motion.

PARISSynonymous with elegance, the quintessential city of light wears the marks of its long history effortlessly on every corner. Always a romantic backdrop, straddling the banks of a river where dreams come true. A city that retains a hint of insolence and jauntiness from its insubordinate past, inspiring artists, creative spirits, connoisseurs and all lovers of luxury and beauty.

PRAGUEPrague has mastered the art of unlikely combinations: the!astonishing jumble of Baroque churches in Malá Strana find their counterpart in the medieval town bristling with Gothic towers. Beyond, avenues of Art Nouveau buildings in all forms stretch into the distance. With its rich past and proud cultures, Prague remains the jewel of Central Europe, yet far from being a city-museum, it engages energetically with the modern world.

ROMERome is the cradle of western civilization. The magnificent ruins of ancient Rome, the wonders of the Renaissance and its Baroque treasures harmonize perfectly. Such variety does not overwhelm its two millennia of history: rather it!highlights the charm of the city’s lifestyle and the beauty that can be enjoyed in its palaces, gardens, museums, trattorias and ice-cream parlours, or seen while wandering in its alleyways or daydreaming by a fountain.

RIO DE JANEIRO Both provincial and sophisticated, beautiful and wild, Rio is a modern, tropical and multicultural metropolis that revels in paradox. From lush forests to closely packed skyscrapers, modern architectural masterpieces to elegant colonial residences, glamour to religious fervor, beaches to!ultra-contemporary museums, there really is no other city quite like it on the planet.

SHANGHAIAt the vanguard of world economic development, Shanghai teems with avant-garde office buildings dangling above the clouds and counts nearly 25 million residents. Although quite often beset by thick smog, on some days the sky can be a brilliant blue. The city’s weather is a study in contrasts: frigid winters, humid and very hot summers. Owing to these extremes, Shanghai’s energy has plenty of bite, firmly asserting its position as a fascinating metropolis at the cusp of the future.

SYDNEYSpirited and bathed in sea breezes, Australia’s most cosmopolitan city is a great place to live, its claims to fame including the bay lit at night by the office buildings of the!business district, the steel arch of the Harbour Bridge, not to forget the futuristic and beastlike silhouette of the!Opera House with its fins extended, ready to set sail.

SINGAPOREIn less than 50 years, Singapore has grown from a peaceful fishing village into one of the world’s most vibrant cities. Its reputation as a leading provider of services and its reliability as a city built for business have earned it the!nickname “Singapore Inc.” But this is far from the whole story. Nurturing creativity is also one of Singapore’s strong points, making this Asian destination an extraordinary city where everyone wants to live.

VENICEBy turns festive and secretive, this city of dreams and illusions between sea and sky reserves its inexhaustible artistic heritage and its contemporary creativity for those who, venturing beyond the usual tourist attractions, take the time to explore its labyrinth of narrow streets and!canals.

TOKYOHip to the latest fashion trends and technologically savvy, this chameleon city offers an astonishing marriage of modernity and tradition, from sleek contemporary architecture to the ancient art treasures of the Asakusa district, fascinating visitors with its seemingly boundless ambition, inspiration and energy.

LOUIS VUITTON PUBLISHING

Louis Vuitton has operated its own publishing house for some fifteen years and!today!offers a catalogue of more than 80 titles, including two collections focused on!travel: its “City Guides” and “Travel Books”. Louis Vuitton also produces a series of!richly illustrated volumes in association with several international publishers as!well as art books, in limited editions signed and numbered by the artists, exclusively for sale at!Louis Vuitton stores.

Books have always held pride of place in the history of the House of Vuitton. Gaston-Louis Vuitton (1883–1970), grandson of the founder, was himself an avid collector and keen bibliophile, whose tastes ranged from literature to art books. He!founded three bibliophile societies and maintained a prolific correspondence with!the!publishers, illustrators and writers of his day.

When the Louis Vuitton store on the Champs-Elysées opened its doors in 1914, it!already featured a comfortable reading and letter-writing room for its customers. This tradition continues into the present day at the Louis Vuitton bookstores which!offer a choice selection of books on art, fashion, design and travel.
