“Moscopolis,” commissioning eleven Moscow artists, can be seen atop the Louis Vuitton flagship gallery on Champs Elysees – located in Paris. It is a highlighted exhibit of contemporary Moscow. Many of these artists react to Russia becoming too money-oriented, which is wiping out the remains of Soviet life. Yet Vuitton wanted to capture Russia for its urban landscapes. Russia being debatable of the fashion world, arises the question - why an exhibit of Moscow? In response, Vuitton has had a long history in Russia. In the past he has sent trunks to the imperial family and the court of Tsar Nicholas II. He also has obtained an outlet in the mall of Red Square. With these contributing factors, the “Moscopolis” will be on exhibit through December 31.

I just had a friend's mother go to this exhibit when she was in Paris, she loved it and said there really is nothing like it.
