Fashion Eye New York
In Fashion Eye New York, the stylist-turned-photographer Katie Burnett holds up a distorting mirror to Manhattan, resulting in a tender, playful portrait of the city.
Endlessly portrayed by the leading names in photography, New York embodies what Burnett calls 'the ultimate prize,' a constantly renewed promise. Its distinguishing features act as reference points in her black and white collages, lending a charming yet eerie touch to this 'abstract puzzle.' Whether it is the subway, skyscrapers, smoke or Statue of Liberty, all the stereotypes make an appearance. Her curious framing seeks poetry in geometry and beauty in the chaos of lines. In this way, an intriguing portrait of Gotham comes to life, taking the pulse of a city steeped in contrasts.
Inspired by the House's travel heritage, the Louis Vuitton Fashion Eye Collection evokes cities, regions or countries through the eyes of fashion photographers, from emerging talents to industry legends. Each title in the series features an extensive selection of large-format photographs, together with biographical information and an interview with the photographer or a critical essay. After the Louis Vuitton City Guides and Travel Books, this third collection presents travel photography with a fashion perspective, as the chosen photographers all infuse their images of great cities, faraway places or dream destinations with their unique vision.
