在全球擁有無數擁躉的好萊塢巨星Angelina Jolie曾手挽路 易威登Capucines，將這款手袋置於高光之下。Capucines誕生 於2013年，線條簡潔、輪廓獨特、logo細節精緻，是品牌辨識 度最高最受歡迎的製作之一。 Capucines手袋的獨特之處在於它的用材及對細節的處 理，從皮革到五金配件，每個元素都經過仔細斟酌，然後運用 歷史悠久的工藝精心製作而成。Capucines之名來自路易威登 1854年在巴黎Rue Neuve-des-Capucines開業的第一家店鋪。 這條街本身就是以一座美麗的Capucines修道院命名的，在法國 大革命前，修道院的花園位於大道的南側。 Capucines手袋被多番演繹，通過與世界上最著名的藝術 家合作，被注入每個時代的潮流風格和創新設計，Capucines最 新款就是在與加拿大著名建築師Frank Gehry的合作中誕生的。 Gehry擅長對材質和雕塑形式進行創新運用，其大膽的創造 力和開創性的設計贏得了全球讚譽。從西班牙畢爾巴鄂的古根 海姆博物館、洛杉磯的華特迪士尼音樂廳，到多倫多的安省美術 館，他已經給世界各地許多城市塑造了獨特的景觀。 這位95歲的設計師與路易威登有長久的合作，巴黎路易威 登基金會、首爾路易威登門面，以及品牌的一些經典旅行箱都是 他的手筆。如今的這個由11款限量版手袋組成的系列，更是圍 繞着「建築與形式、物料發掘、動物」這三個Gehry創作生涯的 關鍵主題，將時尚與建築融成一個和諧世界。 路易威登與Frank Gehry聯名的系列於去年12月在Art Basel Miami Beach藝術展上全球首發，受到廣泛好評。每個手袋都體 現了大師的超凡設計和路易威登的卓越工藝，譬如Capucines Mini Blossom，其玻璃般透明的樹脂花瓣靈感來自香水瓶； Bear With Us Clutch靈感源自大師2014年的Bear with Us雕塑。 《eliteGen星尚》現在就帶你走進大師的工作室，一窺這些 奇幻製作背後的精妙工藝。 First spotted on Angelina Jolie’s arm when it was launched in 2013, the clean lines, subtle logo detailing and distinctive silhouette of Louis Vuitton’s Capucines bag have made it one of the brand’s most iconic and coveted creations. What sets the Capucines apart is the use of exceptional materials and an attention to detail. From the leather to the hardware, every element is carefully selected and then meticulously constructed using time-honoured techniques. The name pays homage to Louis Vuitton’s first store, which opened in 1854 on Rue Neuve-des-Capucines in Paris. The road itself is named after a beautiful convent of Capuchin nuns, whose garden was on the south side of the boulevard prior to the French Revolution. In a testament to its enduring appeal, Louis Vuitton continues to reinvent the Capucines bag, infusing it with contemporary flair and innovative design by way of collaborating with the world’s most renowned artists. One of the latest collaborators is none other than renowned Canadian-born architect Frank Gehry. Known for his innovative use of materials and sculptural forms, Gehry’s bold creativity and groundbreaking approach to design have earned him global acclaim. From the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, to the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles and the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto, he has reshaped urban landscapes around the world. The 95-year-old designer has been a longstanding collaborator with the Maison. He designed the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris, the store facade in Seoul, as well as some trunks. The 11-bag, limited-edition series is based around three key themes of Gehry’s career—Architecture and Form, Material Exploration and Animals, merging the worlds of fashion and architecture. The Louis Vuitton x Frank Gehry collection world-premiered at Art Basel Miami Beach last December to critical acclaim. Each bag exemplifies the unique combination of Gehry’s design prowess and Louis Vuitton’s remarkable craft and savoir-faire, such as the Capucines Mini Blossom with its glass-like resin petals inspired by perfume bottles, and a remarkable Bear With Us Clutch, based upon Gehry’s 2014 Bear with Us sculpture. eliteGen is proud to take you to the atelier to show you the craftsmanship behind these fantastical creations.
