Louis Vuitton at Grand Palais — Artycapucines VII Louis Vuitton x Takash (2025)

The Grand Palais hosted Louis Vuitton's Artycapucines VII presentation with Takashi Murakami during Art Basel Paris.

The venue

The Grand Palais is a historic exhibition hall and monument in central Paris, built with a prominent iron-and-glass roof and positioned near the Champs-Élysées. It is normally used for art exhibitions, fairs and cultural events, with interior halls that can accommodate large displays. Its central location and institutional setting place it within the city's established circuit of museums and exhibition venues.

How the space was used

The venue hosted Art Basel Paris, and the Artycapucines VII presentation was placed within that fair context inside the Grand Palais. The display brought together new pieces from the series with works created for the project since 2019. The setting allowed the bags to be shown as part of an art-fair presentation rather than a standalone retail installation.

Why it works here

Art Basel Paris draws an art-focused audience to the Grand Palais, and the venue's exhibition-hall format supports a curated presentation alongside other galleries and projects. A fashion-art collaboration fits this setting because it can be read within the fair's broader display context rather than as a separate retail event.
