Heads up for Louis

摘要

For the new Louis Vuitton store on London's New Bond Street, architect Peter Marino wanted to create a home from home for London's most glamorous shoppers.rn'We call it the Louis Vuitton Maison: "The House of Louis Vuitton",' he says. 'And I wanted to make visitors feel at home. Part of the home is to relax in, part of the home is more formal, and maybe part of the home is where you take off your clothes!' Famously flamboyant, Marino seems to be permanently clad in a suit of black biker's leathers which he had custom-made by Dior, so it's not surprising that a streak of audacious homour runs through the Maison's sumptuous interior. 'Some shops are just lethally serious', he says, 'but we want people to smile.'
