On Thursday night, amid the smattering of Christmas displays lighting up Fifth Avenue, Louis Vuitton unveiled something that far surpassed the magic of any old holiday window-a whole store. While its landmark Fifth Avenue flagship undergoes a multi-year renovation (and is currently encased in stories-high Louis Vuitton trunks instead of scaffolding), the Maison has opened up a temporary spot just around the corner on 57th Street. But this is not some ephemeral pop-up shop built to dispense Neverfull bags and Nicolas Ghesquière’s latest ready-to-wear offerings until the flagship is back up and running. This is a temple, created in the eye of the almighty shopping gods.
