#LVRomeEtoile

Photobucket

Few days ago I had the pleasure to attend the opening of the AMAZING and at the same time 1st Maison of Louis Vuitton in the beautiful city of Rome.
All the trip was full of excitement experiences, funny times and the best chance to understand the essence of this Maison being 3 days with them.

My trip started in Madrid around 8 Am in the morning, last Thursday 26th!

Photobucket

A quick breakfast and then with Adriana, Mike and Gaby went directly to our plane.

After 2hours, we arrived to the eternal city, met Gala and people with Louis Vuitton cards took us directly to Hassler Hotel, the spectacular hotel we had in Rome during these amazing days!

There, just open the door I see the delicious WELCOME!

Photobucket

I have to confess there are less cupcakes than the real number when I arrived haha, when I took the photo was like.. Oops!
Talking about the Hotel, if you have the chance to go to Rome, don't hesitate to go to Hassler.
Vuitton decided to be there because the views represent the essence of Rome and stay over Pizza de Spagna is a privilege!

Leave luggage, organice clothes etc and 1:30pm! LUNCH TIME!
Was time to go to the delicious Eva Dinning Room in the hotel and meet with all the team

Photobucket

Spectacular right? The chef recommended us to drink a famous cocktail there named VERUSKA! If you be there, please, ask for a Veruska! Mike, Gaby, Adriana, Gala and I recommend it haha!

I ate a delicious Risotto and then we spoke with the amazing journalist and writer of Louis Vuitton City guides since 1998, Pierre Leónforte.

Few minutes later, was time to visit the city and for that we had..

Photobucket

1st stop? Il Vaticano!
I always admire how spectacular is all the construction, the ceilings and how people was able to develop something in this way.

I was there with Adriana and Gala (Amlul) and of course, if I don't post a picture doing stupid things, I'm not David, sorry! hahaha

Photobucket

After il Vaticano, we went to the beautiful Fontana Di Trevi where we met with Mike and Gaby and also with Harrison who came from Milan!
There, we spent time pulling money to La Fontana as a typical tradition! It says, if you pull a coin you can think a desire and also you will back to Rome!

Photobucket

After visit some monuments more, we went to dinner to Casa Copelle!

Photobucket

It was a delicious dinner in a mix of French and Italian food! I remember eat and eat and can't stop aha!
Was a fabulous dinner, talking with my friends and listening stories of Vuitton.
Here are Mike & Gaby from (Cup of Couple) !!

Photobucket

The next day we started around 9:30 AM, went to Breakfast and then DIRECTLY TO DISCOVER the amazing new Maison of Vuitton!!
We went there walking around Rome and was time for taking beautiful pictures of the spanish side of the trip haha

Photobucket

It is at Piazza de Spagna and I REALLY LIKE IT! All of us look fabulous and I always going to remember these days!
This photo was taken by Alessandro from ( realnob ) !!!

That day was the opening and party as well, but before, we went to understand the real way and taste the different parts of La Maison.

And to La Maison is where we arrived few minutes later!

Photobucket

I have to say again, I was impacted with the dimensions and all the things you can find there.
Here is a wall full of suitcases in all the prints, colors and sizes you can imagine.

Photobucket

Photobucket

Everything at the store is perfect, the spaces have the best way for having a good time while you are shopping and in my opinion, the light was the good one. I talk about the light because I really like when I'm in a store and I can appreciate all the things in a very good way!

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket

A important point at la Maison is that there are a CINEMA where you can watch the most amazing films in Italy. This is because Etoile was a very famous Cinema before being the new Maison of Vuitton and in the brand always bet for art in all of the expressions.

Also, as you can see in the photos, there are big screens with the last shows of the brand, thing I really like and you know it perfectly haha!

To finish with part one, a picture of myself with Gaby and Mike haha!

Photobucket

haha! fabulous one!

...

This is only the 1st part of the amazing trip. Is not possible to me make just one because I want you live my trip trough my photos and understand what Vuitton is!
I have loads of things to show you yet and it will be very soon!!

What do you like more from this 1st part?

I WANT TO SAY THANKS TO LOUIS VUITTON! again, was a pleasure being there with all of you!

How is going your week?

THANKS A LOT!!

xx

  9. I've never been in Italy but I love it!
    I love the way everything has been set in the store! And the thing about the light is totally true! I'm not used to find someone who says that, but it's really annoying when you think something is some color and in the street light is something different.

  69. Hola guapo!!! Gracias por tu dulce comentario en mi blog! Es una pena que el sorteo sea "tan para chicas"... La verdad es que me relaciono poco con bloggers chico pero me parece súper interesante porque tenéis un punto de vista muy transgresor sobre la moda. Así que claro que te sigo!

    Por cierto, yo también estuve hace unos años en la tienda de Vuitton en París y son majísimos!!!
