By doing so, Louis Vuitton is making good on its support of the Pledge to America’s Workers, the educational training program that was launched last year. Apple, FedEx and Boeing are among the companies that have signed up with the aim being to create six million training opportunities
This week’s opening also signals Louis Vuitton’s commitment to extensive training in leather goods craftsmanship for all employees as an effort to meet the increased demand in the U.S. market for Louis Vuitton products.
In the U.S., there are 1.8 million fashion-related jobs including 232,000 in manufacturing textiles for apparel and footwear, according to the Joint Economic Committee Democratic Bureau of Labor.
MCM Worldwide opens new flagship store in Munich
MCM全新旗舰店在慕尼黑开业

自2005被韩国奢侈集团Sungjoo收购后，MCM发展迅速，并且在零售方面也做了许多新的改变。
同其他竞品一样，MCM十分重视品牌实体店铺的规划，不断推陈出新，并在全球范围内布局门店，以为消费者提供更好的消费体验。
品牌的快速发展，也离不开创意总监Dirk Schönberger的努力。继柏林、洛杉矶和东京之后，MCM于日前又回到德国，在慕尼黑开设了一间全新旗舰店。
新店位于Maximilan大街上一栋19世纪的建筑内，面积有168平方米。店铺的设计灵感来源于品牌创立的1970年代，大量几何元素的运用将店铺区隔成不同的空间，同时增强了整体的视觉效果。
内部装饰则是现代化风格，与复古的外观形成鲜明对比，结合了抛光的不锈钢、有机玻璃等。地面是蓝色丝绒地毯，与立柱的外圈包裹材质相同，围绕立柱还装饰了金属链条。店内产品包括男女装、配饰、包袋、鞋履和旅行产品等。
Acquired by South Korean-based Sungjoo Group in 2005, the company has seen quite a few changes to get back on track, including endeavours in retail. Similar to self-discerning peers in the luxury industry, MCM‘s brick-and-mortar presence has become instrumental to the brand experience and it has set out to open new retail spaces in key shopping destinations across the planet.
Under Dirk Schönberger’s creative supervision, the brand has seen an accelerated flagship store expansions and following launches in Berlin, Los Angeles and Tokyo, MCM has returned to its cradle, opening an outpost on Munich‘s golden mile of luxury.
Occupying a spacious 168 sqm. (1,808 sq.ft.) ground floor space in a late 19th-century building by architect Friedrich Bürklein along Maximilanstrasse, it sees astarkly contrasting interior design by Berlin-based architecture practice Gonzalez Haase.
Creating a benchmark of sorts for future MCM stores, the chosen design codes feature geometric shapes which reference the 1970s, the era which spawned the MCM brand.
By using curves, triangles, rectangles and round forms, the retail space gains distinct sections which, at the same time, also overlap, creating a solid visual cohesion.
The material palette is distinctly contemporary, pairing polished stainless steel, plexiglass, latex and mirrors, but to steer clear from austerity, fluffy carpeting in royal blue anchors the setting, and combined with pillars and circular seating clad in a similar material, and suspended ornamental metal chains, it adds a whimsical element.
The new MCM flagship store carries the brand’s full range of men’s and women’sapparel, accessories, bags, shoes, and travel products.
