After the famous City Guides, Louis Vuitton publishes in May a new collection of books entitled: Louis Vuitton Travel Book. A new and original approach of travel books somewhere between the travel journal and the sketch book. This collection is launched with four titles: Easter Island by Daniel Arsham, London By Natsko Seki, Paris by Cheri Samba, and New York, by Jean Philippe Delhomme.
French artist Jean-Philippe Delhomme started illustrating out of a fascination with photography. It seems only fitting then that his work for Louis Vuitton‘s Travel Book would be as picturesque, as concerned with composition as it is. The French luxury brand commissioned Delhomme to illustrate his vision of New York City for the latest in their series of Travel Books, other editions of which also cover London, Paris and other European cities. Watch Delhomme translate his imaginative, colorful vision into boldly rich gouache paintings in the above video, which takes a turn for the fantastic toward the end. The book is now available at Louis Vuitton stores and online for $56 USD.
A painter and an illustrator, Jean-Philippe Delhomme has contributed to numerous magazines around the world since the late ’80s. His work has gained recognition with collaborations and award-winning ad campaigns for Barneys New York, SAAB USA, The Mark Hotel NYC, Le Bon Marché, and Sotheby’s. He has also directed animated commercials, most notably for Saab USA, and Visa France.
As a fashion illustrator, and a chronicler of culture, he has written and illustrated several books: The Cultivated Lifepublished by Rizzoli International; Design Addicts published by Thames & Hudson; and Le Drame de la Déco, Art Contemporain and Scènes de la Vie Parentale published by Editions Denoël. He has also penned several novels as well as articles for French GQ, Architectural Digest France and Vogue Paris.
