Krátky popis
Much can be learned about a person from the manner in which they
travel. From heiresses to actors, aristocrats to pop stars,
writers, composers, dancers and designers, here are the
personalities who have travelled through our modern era, whether by
train, plane, car or canoe, accompanied by luggage that defines
good taste. With suitably glamorous style, over fifty individuals
are described in witty and perceptive detail.Everyone who's anyone
is here: from Madonna to Marilyn Monroe, from the Duchess of
Windsor to Karl Lagerfeld, from Audrey Hepburn to Keith Richards,
from the firm's eponymous founder Louis Vuitton to artist Jeff
Koons, who has created his own controversial homage to the masters
of art on the company's bags. Every traveller has a tale to tell:
every bag reveals a personal secret. In her canvas Louis Vuitton
bag Greta Garbo never kept more than a pair of blue espadrilles,
flannel pyjamas and some pots of her favourite jam.(But she had a
trunk specially made for her seventy pairs of Ferragamo shoes.)
Ernest Hemingway, who owned and lost several Vuitton trunks,
rediscovered in 1957 notes for a novel that he'd absentmindedly
left in a trunk in the basement of the Paris Ritz some thirty years
before. Richard Burton made sure that Elizabeth Taylor always had
enough Louis Vuitton trunks (as well as furs and jewels), through
both their marriages, in fact, the trunks outlasted her next two
husbands as well.
