Dans une chaude lumière In a warm glow of light
Là, tout n'est qu'ordre et beauté There, all is order and beauty only
Luxe, calme et volupté Luxury, peace, and pleasure
- Charles Baudelaire《Luxe, Calme et Volupté 》
Today, architects do not simply build a house or a city. They also build a brand, as Frank Gehry did for Tiffany, Gary Chang for Alessi or recently Zaha Hadid for Louis Vuitton.
Bucket, Zaha Hadid
Exhibition: ICONS
Espace Louis Vuitton
(Sept 15-Dec 31 2006)
If…
Flagship stores are compared to modern cathedrals
Likewise…
Shoppers are pilgrims
Luxuries are altarpieces
Then…
Creative hands please nurture our rotten souls.

Very very true,,,
The luxury brands are today's new religions.
although I'm never a brand-hunter, I salute to the brands for bringing art to consumers ... we need art promoters in a commercial world to help the sustain of art in everyday life.
