Louis Vuitton - web site - Brief Article

www.vuitton.com

Almost as inventive as Costume National's site and equally elegant (though in distinctly French style), this showcase for Louis Vuitton's luxury creations presents everything from ready-to-wear collections to the new series of chichi city travel guides. The collection's look is too classical for my taste, but I feel renewed just browsing through the pages--which proves that good interactive design can compete with fashion in creating a sensual experience.
