Louis Vuitton, a well-known French fashion house, launched its new cosmetics line with a limited-time activation in New York City. The maison opened a La Beauté Louis Vuitton pop-up in Soho. This strategic step aims to immerse visitors in the label’s bespoke world of luxury beauty, advancing shoppers in bold red decor, futuristic fixtures, as well as exclusive offerings, each inspired by various products from the new collection.
With this initiative, the company will bring the makeup line to life by using saturated colors and a curved design.
The launch destination will reflect an entryway featuring a 28-screen-wide digital display welcoming guests into the experiential storefront, with similar "portals" appearing throughout the boutique to showcase the craft behind La Beauté Louis Vuitton. Further, at the center of the pop-up lies a product station inspired by maison’s signature flower monogram, featuring the full collection of 55 LV Rouge lipsticks, 10 LV Baume lip balms, and eight LV Ombres eyeshadow palettes.
The digital Try-On Room allows guests to experiment with the lipstick as well as eyeshadow shades in a digital dimension. The Make-Up Consultation Room is led by beauty stylists who offer tailored guidance to guests as they sit on iconic red Verner Panton Cone Chairs. The Look Room emboldens the journey through a playful survey that illuminates custom lightboxes displaying curated shades and styles. To wrap up the experience, the new Beauty Station Trunk, created exclusively by McGrath, represents a modern fixture of savoir-faire and artistry.
The pop-up is also home to the unique Beauty Station Trunk, a piece from the mind of cosmetics creative director Dame Pat McGrath that serves as “a modern emblem of artistry and savoir-faire,” per the brand.
