Louis Vuitton Fifth Avenue store, New York, NewYork, 2010

The famous French fashion house, founded in 1854, sells luxury luggage and leather goods, along with shoes, watches, sunglasses, and books. It has a prominent place on New York’s Fifth Avenue, home to most of the major fashion shops in the city. I photographed it at night, creating an essence by abstracting the building down to this silhouetted stairway linking its floors, featuring a silhouetted mannequin carrying an LV bag framed in a doorway. The brand acquires a mysterious note here, aided by the lush colors of the purple geometry and the mesh grid that helps abstract the scene.

Thank you, Chris, for enjoying this abstract image. The store's window displays were designed to appeal to the imagination, and so is this image. I can see it has affected yours.

Absolutely magnificent abstract with this silhouette framed by the light of the building!

I must have had Gormley's figures (http://www.pbase.com/pnd1/gormley_exhibit ), which I had photographing earlier that day, still on my mind, Rose.

Perhaps the mannequin can be a companion for a Gormley statue.
