Louis Vuitton has announced a new fine jewellery collection, named after a key member of the historic family – Gaston-Louis Vuitton.
A unique and modern character with a verve for life and learning, Gaston-Louis Vuitton steps into the spotlight to inspire the new Louis Vuitton fine jewellery collection: Les Gastons Vuitton.
According to the notes which accompanied the announcement, the house described Gaston as “A creator, a collector, [with] a curious mind. His wit, charm and eye for invention brought to life playful designs and original ideas: typography, monograms, books, art, travel, trunks, as well as games and toys, were just a few of his passions – there were many more. The erudite thinker has paved the way for a collection that explores his multi-faceted personality and celebrates the individual. Innovation in techniques, materials and moving mechanisms represents his modernity and freedom. Gaston was born at a time of great change and invention, something he understood – and certainly embraced.”
