Talk about gauche! Could you imagine this big hulking suitcase on the mall in DC?

Louis Vuitton event organizers should stick to what they do best, fashion design. They obviously lack any sense of how the people will react to their brand being an eyesore in the People’s Square.

Red Square as a matter of fact because the display just got booted!

MOSCOW, November 27 (RIA Novosti) – A giant designer suitcase-shaped pavilion installed in the middle of Moscow’s Red Square is being dismantled, city authorities said Wednesday, following a wave of public outrage and numerous demands for its removal.

The organizers of the Louis Vuitton-sponsored installation were preparing to take it down on Wednesday afternoon, the city’s media and advertizing department said, after the Kremlin and Moscow’s landmark GUM department store asked for their new neighbor to be removed. GUM confirmed Wednesday afternoon that work had begun to dismantle the titanic trunk.

Measuring 30 meters (100 feet) long and nine meters (30 feet) high and adorned with the Louis Vuitton logo, the oversized travel case was due to house a “Soul of Travel” exhibition organized by the famed French fashion house from December 2 to January 19.

Consisting of historical suitcases and video installations, the display was one of several events scheduled to commemorate GUM’s 120th anniversary.

But public ire over the litigious luggage reached a fever pitch in recent days as people criticized the suitcase’s placement in Red Square – a UNESCO Heritage Site and the first port of call for most visitors to the Russian capital – as well as the display’s timing over the New Year holiday period.
