In a visual feast bursting with creativity and pops of colour, 200 artists designed limited edition imaginative trunks auctioned at Louis Vuitton’s milestone bicentennial exhibition in Singapore
The 200 Trunks 200 Visionaries exhibition is both a tribute to Louis Vuitton’s innovative legacy and a stage for creatives to flourish. It features talents and friends of the House who are champions of arts and culture, the sciences, sports, global causes, and more. Among the recognisable names are streetwear brand Supreme, Marc Jacobs, Lego, Chinese visual artist Liu Wei, phenomenal K-pop group BTS, Italian icon Fornasetti, and American architect Peter Marino.

The featured talents each transformed a metaphorical blank canvas measuring 50x50x100 centimetres, approximately the same as the original trunk that Vuitton conceived in the Fifties, into vessels that depict dreams, fear, desires, abstract concepts and artistic expressions.
“This project has always been about creativity,” says Faye Mcleod, Louis Vuitton’s visual image director. “A real tribute to Louis’s ingenuity and entrepreneurial spirit. We get to see how such a cross-section of talents answered the same brief while also taking a moment to appreciate the man himself.”
Guests enjoyed the exhibition at Marina Bay, Singapore, for free. The country served as the second stop on Louis Vuitton’s international tour.
