The art installation is located at the intersection of West Lambert and South Flores streets in Southtown.
A new art installation celebrating Spurs star Victor Wembanyama's partnership with Louis Vuitton popped up in San Antonio's Southtown neighborhood over the weekend. Located at the intersection of West Lambert and South Flores streets, the structure is designed to look like a Louis Vuitton storefront and features a photo of Wemby peering out its door. The French fashion label last week named the NBA rookie as its latest brand ambassador.
Folks lined up Sunday to snap photos with the building, which went viral on Instagram account @southtownsatx.Similar to the Marfa Prada, there's nothing for sale inside Southtown's mock Louis Vuitton storefront. Like the Marfa Prada, the installation isn't selling any handbags. Indeed, a peek through the windows revealed the interior to be empty except for an exposed wood frame and construction materials still strewn across the floor.Michael Karlis is a Staff Writer at the San Antonio Current.
