LVMH Share Their Secrets With Lucky Student Artisans – 23/2/10


Valentine’s Day may be over, but Louis Vuitton is still sharing the love as they invest in the next generation artisans.

“Louis Vuitton was an artisan,” Renaud Dutreil from LVMH told Reuters during New York Fashion Week. “He worked with his hands. It’s important to transmit this value proposition to the next generation.”

Last year, Louis Vuitton encouraged young designers from New York’s Parsons School of Design to “rip into” vintage LV creations and create something new (see our September 23 report for details).

This year, LVMH is continuing to nurture young talent with another project, The Art of Craftsmanship Revisited, which will hopefully instil LVMH’s core luxury values into a new batch of students. Click here to read more about this valuable project in Vanity Fair.
