Oh Happy Days

Auckland performance producers, designers, choreographers and maestros-in-general Mike Mizrahi and Marie Adams and a team of 150 created Louis Vuitton’s 150th anniversary celebrations around the world with the new LV store at 5th and 57th being the centerpiece: “The real surprise was the mix of performance art-style entertainment. Models dressed as old-fashioned travelers carrying Louis Vuitton luggage moved in and out of the video screen wall. Acrobats jumped out of spaces in the wall, down onto hidden trampolines and flipped in synchronicity with the music and each other. And as a finale, a gospel choir belted out “Oh, Happy Day” as a makeshift Eiffel Tower constructed completely of Louis Vuitton luggage rose up from the ground, and the crowd cheered wildly.”
