In honor of the late monsieur Louis Vuitton’s 200th birthday, 200 global creative talents have partnered with his eponymous fashion and luxury goods house to participate in 200 Louis, an open-ended project that asks participants to artistically transform a box with the same dimensions of the original Louis Vuitton trunk. Since August 4, the trunks have been digitized and displayed in celebratory Louis Vuitton boutique windows across the world with new pieces revealed daily.
As a starting point, each creative was provided with a box measuring approximately 19 by 19 by 39 inches (50 by 50 by 100 centimeters), and given complete freedom to transform it however they wished, in whatever medium. The visionaries participating in 200 Louis range from artists to astronauts to paralympic swimmers.
Qualeasha was selected as 1/200 artists for the project where she upholstered one of her signature tapestries onto the trunk as well as embellished with seed beads.
