Judith Clark, the curator of the debut exhibit said, “We wanted it to be perceived very much as a gallery intervention. It’s like an installation reflecting on the idea of exhibiting the Vuitton archive. It’s intended to be kind of slightly disruptive in that way. It’s about fashion as fashion, it’s fashion as collaboration, and it’s fashion as the muses and owners and wearers associated with the luggage, so at a certain point, you’re kind of personifying it.”
