Chou Mo's Photographs Capture Taipei's Chaotic Vitality for Louis Vuitton's 130th Monogram Anniversary
Chou Mo, a fashion photographer from Taiwan celebrated for his subtle color palettes and compelling visual storytelling, has launched a new project for Louis Vuitton's 130th Monogram anniversary, named "CROSSING / 23°51'N, 120°55'E." This work is featured in PhotoVogue's "The Spirit of Travel" series and was photographed at Sun Moon Lake in Taiwan. The project employs the motif of a "door" to explore various cultures, showcasing elements like bamboo-woven sunflowers that nod to the Thao indigenous people's sun symbolism, mirrored spheres symbolizing the moon and technology, and fish baskets tied to local traditions. Chou Mo aims to depict "the mixed vitality unique to Taiwanese streets," reflecting the vibrant chaos of places like Taipei 101 and night markets. His editorial collaborations include Vogue Taiwan, Louis Vuitton, and Shiseido. The project appeared on Design You Trust in August 2026, with images also posted on his Instagram.
