Last Friday, luxury and culture once again collided in Hong Kong as the Louis Vuitton Journeys Awards were handed out at Canton Road Maison. Launched last September, the Louis Vuitton Journeys Award is given to a student from among Greater China’s most respected universities who creates a short film that best exemplifies a journey.
At the prize-giving ceremony, Hong Kong filmmaker Wong Kar-Wai — who was also instrumental in the creation of this award — and representatives from Louis Vuitton gave speeches and handed out awards to filmmakers from Asia and Europe. From Luxury Insider:
Louis Vuitton’s commitment to promoting luxury and the arts, especially in Hong Kong, is definitely something to watch. Last year’s “Passion for Creation” exhibition brought together Louis Vuitton and the Hong Kong Museum of Art, and attracted massive public interest. We could see more of these luxury + art partnerships in the mainland this year, too, following the success of initiatives like Cartier’s “Treasures” exhibit at Beijing’s Forbidden City.
