Louis Vuitton unveils Tempo Point, a new Travel Book devoted to K/DA, the virtual K-pop group created in 2018 by Riot Games. The book portrays Tempo Point, an imaginary metropolis drawn from the group's universe, and traces 24 hours in the life of its four singers, up to their concert in this fictional city.
The four members of K/DA, Ahri, Evelynn, Kai'Sa and Akali, are also playable characters in League of Legends, the video game developed by Riot Games. The group became known with the track POP/STARS in 2018, followed by MORE in 2020.
The book brings together more than 100 original drawings created by Riot Games artists. Two versions are offered: a standard edition and a large-format collector's edition.
An extended partnership with Riot Games
With Tempo Point, Louis Vuitton extends its partnership with Riot Games. This is said to have begun in 2019 around the League of Legends World Championship, before expanding into fashion and the game's characters, according to Journal du Luxe.
For more than fifteen years, according to Journal du Luxe, Louis Vuitton has reportedly explored destinations through the eyes of international artists in its Travel Book collection, from Berlin to Indonesia by way of Londres. The house is even said to have ventured into distant horizons, such as the planet Mars. With Tempo Point, it delves for the first time into the world of fiction.
For Louis Vuitton, this book "ouvre de nouvelles perspectives créatives à la série et permet une expérience de voyage inédite".
