“MONOGRAM is timeless, yet with this project we wanted to celebrate it in a way that defied the conventions of ‘classic” , says MICHAEL BURKE, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of LOUIS VUITTON.
In celebration of Louis Vuitton 160th Anniversary, Vuitton assembled six renowned ‘Iconoclasts’ for this special ‘Icon and the Iconoclasts’ project.

The things in life that used to almost kill you, stress you, depress you, make you sad, make you afraid — they have less and less power. It’s like you’re building up a flak jacket of protection. You’re starting to glow with this from within.”
For the stressed-out and ever-busy city man like yourself, we know how hard leading the high-octane urban life can get. It can all be very simple actually. Take a leaf from the books of cinematic great, David Lynch. For just 20 minutes twice a day, try his trademarked practice of Transcendental Meditation, a form of relaxation that involves sitting quietly and saying a mantra to yourself.
