The Louis Vuitton Time Capsule in Culver City was a revealing experience for those who are new to the brand, and a heartwarming and reaffirming experience for those who know it well.
I’ve attended a few of their recents events thanks to a friend who now works at Louis Vuitton on Rodeo Drive, in fact, that’s how I heard about the time capsule exhibition. Founded in 1854, important works were on display from their impressive archives. The exhibition demonstrated the ways in which Louis Vuitton has anticipated changing needs and desires over the last 160 years.
One of my favorite pieces in the show was the turn table seen above, with a plexiglass top and LV branded sides. Can you imagine a DJ walking into a club and laying that puppy on the table to spin? It would be amazing. I also love the clear acrylic make up case seen third from the top.
The multimedia room towards the end of the show was very exciting, but difficult to capture with only still photos. Taking video was problematic, as I try to protect the faces of those who don’t choose to knowingly be a part of my blog.
Prior to arriving in L.A., ‘Time Capsule’ debuted in Hong Kong in 2017, then Bangkok, Berlin, Singapore, Dubai, Shanghai, Melbourne and lastly Madrid. The exhibit has closed in L.A., and as for its next stop… no one really knows, at least not yet.
