Louis Vuitton: Bags, Bags, Bags

With a history of more than 170 years, Louis Vuitton handbags remain the most successful line of fashion accessories in history. The photographic homage in the coffee table book 'Louis Vuitton: Bags, Bags, Bags' features Louis Vuitton bags from the past 30 years, which became hugely popular among designers Marc Jacobs, Nicolas Ghesquière, Kim Jones, Virgil Abloh and Pharrell.

At the heart of Louis Vuitton is the City Bags, a range of handbags dating back to the early twentieth century. These bags, bearing the house's signature monogram, have formally diversified into a dizzying assortment of handbags for every conceivable function needed by the modern woman (and man). The highly influential City Bags are now known to millions by their descriptive names (Keepall, Papillon, Alma, Locket, Noé, Speedy) and are still evolving into more fabulous forms.

Louis Vuitton's ready-to-wear collections, which made their debut in 1997 under Marc Jacobs, have become the main creative engine for this proliferation of bag models. Now, in its third decade, and hand in hand with a highly visible program of artistic preservation involving Stephen Sprouse, Takashi Murakami, Yayoi Kusama, Richard Prince, Jeff Koons and many others collaborating on the design of handbags, the photographs of these objects - taken by some of today's most important fashion photographers - have become icons in their own right.

The editorial photographs collected here, on which handbags often take center stage, come from some of the most important magazines and periodicals (and a good number of campaigns). This carefully curated image bank, which includes photographs by such luminaries as Juergen Teller, Annie Leibovitz, Mert Alas and Marcus Pigott, Steven Meisel, Kourtney Roy, Collier Schorr, Jean Larivière and many others, attests to the unique, compelling power of the photographic image and its continuing role in telling stories (and creating myths) of Louis Vuitton.
