Why Dubai? Louis Vuitton chose the city as it is a melting pot of cultures and hub for innovation. In a statement, Louis Vuitton explained, “[Dubai is] one of the most cosmopolitan cities that provides a deep sense of possibility and innovation. Home to over 200 nationalities, Dubai has proven to be a city where the nexus of East and West makes for a stunning display of cultural diversity.”
