After receiving an overwhelming response in Tokyo, Louis Vuitton is now showcasing ‘Volez, Voguez, Voyagez ’ once again at Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) in Seoul, which will run through until August 27, 2017.
Curated by Olivier Saillard, the exhibition retraces the brand’s great journey from 1854 till today, through archives of the Family’s founding members to those who create the Louis Vuitton of today.
The thematic journey conceived and designed by Robert Carsen tells the story of the House in 10 chapters including one dedicated entirely to Korea.
Since the beginning of the 20th century, the House’s iconic trunks have accompanied travellers to Korea. Among the early clients who went on Korean expeditions would be Jean de Pange; historian and author of En Coree and archaeologist Joesph Hackin; who participated at La Croisiere Jaune in 1930s.
