I admit having a soft spot for bakeries, when I saw the images of this project, I was drawn to the concept as a whole.

Unfortunately,  I never find anyone who makes fun of people for a living amusing in any way.

Enough with that rant, this post is not about her as a person but about the extravagant 5000 sq. ft. penthouse she lived in since 1980’s where she decided she wanted gold pillars ,  in fact you will find gold adorning almost every area in the penthouse.

LV Cindy Sherman

 

In 1854, Louis Vuitton founded his House. In 1896 his son, Georges Vuitton, created The Monogram in honor of his late father. An icon was born.

In 1965 Gaston-Louis Vuitton, recounted how his father, Georges, had created the motifs on The Monogram canvas: ‘First of all, the initials of the company – LV – are interlaced in such a way as to remain perfectly legible. Then a diamond. To give a specific character to the shape, he made the sides concave with a four-petal flower in the center. Then the extension of this flower in a positive image. Finally, a circle containing a flower with four rounded petals.’
