Louis Vuitton Fashion Eye

Synchrodogs can often be found exploring the Ukrainian Carpathians on motorbike, producing work that offers a fresh perspective on the relationship between human beings and nature. Through landscapes, dance and performance, they condemn deforestation and call attention to the plight of endangered species. Theirs is an original vision populated by both dreams and nature, a land-art project that ventures into nude photography. Roman Noven and Tania Shcheglova form the duo Synchrodogs and live in Ivano-Frankivsk, a small city about 600 km (370 miles) from Kiev at the edge of the Carpathians. As artists who see their existence as an odyssey, they have traversed the American West, Portugal, Iceland and Sri Lanka. However, it is in the Carpathians that they feel most at home. Developing a practice that melds aspects of documentary photography with a more conceptual approach, all while maintaining a strong presence in the world of fashion, they are sought out by both influential magazines and independent music labels.

For the Louis Vuitton Fashion Eye collection, the controversial photographer Oliviero Toscani has revisited the Cretto di Burri. This monumental work of art by Alberto Burri incorporates part of the ruins of Gibellina, a small town in Sicily which was devastated by a violent earthquake in 1968. Oliviero Toscani mixes high angle, wide angle and close-up shots , in order to transpose his vision onto the vast blindingly white concrete slabs, furrowed with a network of fractures that commemorate the tragedy. His pictorial approach creates compositions bordering on abstraction.

Art director, influencer and provocative admired around the world, the Tuscan photographer Oliviero Toscani has made himself known by his numerous advertisements for United Colors of Benetton and his shock campaign to raise awareness of anorexia. He now works for prestigious international magazines such as Vogue, Elle and Harper's Bazaar, while retaining his rebellious spirit, and continuing to defy the rules and break the status quo.

In this latest volume from the Louis Vuitton Fashion Eye collection, the archives of cult American photographer Slim Aarons (1916-2006) reveal a joyful and sun-drenched Côte d'Azur. Aarons, who boasted of only photographing beautiful people doing beautiful things in beautiful places, naturally found himself drawn to this idyllic region of France. His images of emblematic places like Cannes, Saint-Tropez and Monaco, offer an attractive vision of a Côte d'Azur from another time. Nicknamed “Slim” for his slim and lanky figure, the American photographer George Allen Aarons became famous thanks to his carefree photographs of celebrities, aristocrats, Hollywood stars and business leaders. True epicurean and gentleman, he decided at one point in his life that he wanted to take advantage of every moment - probably after enlisting in the U.S. Army as a young photographer to capture the horrors of World War II. Between swimming pools and luxury villas, his work presents fashion as a real art of living. Inspired by the world of travel specific to the Maison, the Louis Vuitton Fashion Eye collection presents a city, a region or a country through the eyes of a fashion photographer, emerging talent or big name in this art. Each volume offers a wide selection of large format photographs, supplemented with biographical information and a critical essay or interview with the photographer. After the Louis Vuitton City Guides and the Travel Books, this third collection paints a portrait of travel photography from a fashion point of view. Through images of big cities, remote places or dream destinations, the chosen photographers show their unique vision.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York maintains a unique collection of travel photographs by Baron Adolphe de Meyer. Although the latter destroyed part of his work, there remain rare snapshots of a fascinating and still mysterious island empire from his trip to Asia. In 1900, his taste for Japanese aesthetics transported him to Meiji era Japan. Site after site, from the Buddhist temples of Kyoto, the former imperial capital, to monumental statuaries in particular in Nara, porticoes of the Shinto shrines of Nikkô in Ueno Park in Tokyo, it captures imperious beauty of a revered nature of the Japanese as well as the architectural and artistic treasures of the Archipelago. An astonishing sensitive vision far from the Japanese shops then in vogue.

Suzanne had the lead role for a long time. She was the inspiration and the heroine of these one-second fictions. It was as if there was a story written in her body which I did not know very well, a lonely and timeless story, hers, mine or that of another, I don't know, but I recognized in this moment when I started as the last image of a slow motion film that I would have already seen.

She walks down the aisle, turned in on her long, thin secret. She passes, passed between the empty armchairs of a compartment of the Orient Express. We see her from behind, on the run.

For the Louis Vuitton Fashion Eye collection, photographer Osma Harvilahti, originally from Helsinki, travels to Saint-Tropez. Far from the jet set, he captures with his lens the slices of life and the faces of anonymous inhabitants, focusing on the details that tell the past of this city, once a simple fishing village. His photographs show the daily life of a place that is better known for the celebrities it welcomes than for its inhabitants. Osma Harvilahti captures everyday life in a colorful and abstract style. Influenced by his studies in social sciences at the University of Helsinki, he enjoys exploring the sociological side of fashion. Based in Paris, big names like Sonia Rykiel, Issey Miyake, Nike and Hermès called on him and his photographs were published in Vogue Hommes and Apartamento, among others. Inspired by the world of travel specific to the Maison, the Louis Vuitton Fashion Eye collection presents a city, a region or a country through the eyes of a fashion photographer, emerging talent or big name in this art. Each volume offers a wide selection of large format photographs, supplemented with biographical information and a critical essay or interview with the photographer. After the Louis Vuitton City Guides and the Travel Books, this third collection paints a portrait of travel photography from a fashion point of view. Through images of big cities, remote places or dream destinations, the chosen photographers show their unique vision.

In the lands of Cyrus and Zarathustra, the photographer was won over by the beauty of the country and the hospitality of the Iranians. The fruit of subtle observation, his images decipher the material of emotions. No need to comment. The artist reinvents Persian miniatures. Going closer, she tries to understand the world. Anodyne details, fabrics, scarves, veils and faces in their naked truth illuminate the work. Between ghostly shadows and dazzling lights, in this unknown Iran, rich in a thousand-year-old culture, Harley Weir delicately captures the poetry of forms.

Photographed by Sølve Sundsbø, British Columbia reveals in a disconcerting immensity the wild beauty of nature. For thirteen seasons now, out of love for skiing, the artist has found this Canadian province on the edge of the Pacific to descend the snowy slopes of the Selkirks. An experience of freedom that allows him to grasp as closely as possible the naked truth of a world in itself. In a series of forty-one images, mountains and moraines, summits and valleys, forests and rivers appear compelling. The photographic writing of British Columbia mythologizes landscapes by sublimating the elements that compose them. Sølve Sundsbø takes another look at these abrupt territories.
