Opened in 2011, sitting and nestled along the water, floating ion the bay at Marina Bay Sands Singapore, Louis Vuitton Island Maison is a new location to buy high end fashion clothing and accessories.
Designed by architect Peter Marino, the main floor houses the men and women fashion wear and the other store features accessories and luggage. There is also a presentation area, outdoor gallery with a luxury yacht ambience and a tunnel with exhibition of art runs and books. There is a spiral staircase of artworks by Richard Deacon and Ruben Toledo.
Set against the Singapore beautiful skyline along Marina Bay Sands promenade, it is a location which incorporates art, design, fashion and cultural elements. This year marks Louis Vuitton’s 200th birthday, I had created 4 illustrations to pay tribute to Louis Vuitton’s legacy.
The world’s first Louis Vuitton store on water. It is not just one of the 12 masons in the world but also the only store on water. The man made island of glass and steel is one of the 2 standalone pavilions designed by Moshe Sadie as part of the overall Marina Bay integrated resort development. Its design is beautiful and unique. It is housed in a glass and steel crystal pavilion designed by Moshe Sadie.
To commemorate Louis Vuitton’s birthday, the facade’s panel was decorated with striking yellow colour stickers with Happy Birthday Louis. In addition, the facade of the floating Maison displays the larger than life portrait of Louis Vuitton rendered in checkered pixels.
To commemorate Louis Vuitton’s 200th birthday, I have crafted 3 illustrations to pay tribute to the Louis Vuitton legacy. Expressing my creativity and imagination in my artwork, I wanted to show a different side of the Louis Vuitton universe that is full of fun and fantasy.
The first illustration brings together a colourful ensemble of characters dressing up in Louis Vuitton outfits. Creative artworks of Louis Vuitton handbags and shoes are also drawn to compliment the illustration together with the Louis Vuitton architecture building. Shoes are used as skiis to add another interesting spin to the fashion landscape. The digital illustrations featuring a reimagined fashion landscape of Louis Vuitton Island Maison at the Marina Bay Sands and all the characters are reimagined in luxury Louis Vuitton high fashion items.
The second illustration features the striking architecture providing a backdrop for Louis Vuitton fashion runway show, boasted a collection of the various outfits worn by my characters who acted as models for the show.
For the third illustration, I illustrated 4 models carrying the famous luxury handbags sitting on the coast of the Island Maison in a bold bright color palette reflecting the mood and atmosphere at the Island Maison.
The fourth illustration features the building’s impressive architecture reflection view in the evening time.
I hope my illustration transport everyone to the magical fashion world of Louis Vuitton and at the same time invites everyone to enjoy the beautiful landscape of the Louis Vuitton Island Maison at Marina Bay Sands Singapore.
