Louis Vuitton has turned it's shop window over to students for holiday season.

The winners of a competition at London St Martin's College of Art and Design will decorate the brand's 370 stores for the Christmas rush.

Vuitton chose the lucky designers through a competition at the famous fashion school, asking students to draw inspiration from their history and image.

The winners were 21-year-old Christopher Lawson from Ireland and 26-year-old Marcos Villalba from Spain, who took the map location of Vuitton's Asnieres workshop as a starting point then re-created its contours into an abstract landscape.

"This year, we decided to give emerging talents the chance to freely express themselves and their vision of the brand," said Yves Carcelle, chairman and chief executive of Louis Vuitton to WWD.

The windows will be unveiled in London in early November and displayed throughout the holiday period.
