Was it a design by that famous Mumbai designer, Forbi D. Den?

True...but LV wasn’t in a muslim country.

Phallic....looks more like the start of the lamp in "Christmass BB-Gun film with little "you will shoot your eye out" Alfie"...

anyone like to post a pic for comparison..?

That would be the "major award" from A Christmas Story...

I remember the charming experience of visiting the small town of Pisa in the Italian Countryside, and slowing meandering up the Tower of Pisa on a late sunny afternoon, a few tourists milling quietly about, awed by the centuries old pillars. Then experiencing the gorgeous surprise of the never-mentioned Pisa cathedral and baptistry right next door. Unique renaissance beauty incomparable to any other buildings on earth. No, sorry, a shiny high-tech Arab monstrosity most definitely does not beat Pisa. And never will.

I would have 2 new towers up ASAP if it were up to me.

The current project smells like NY’s answer to the big dig to me.

I heard Kagan is proposing marriage to that building.

It wants her to convent to Islam and wear a burqa.

“wear a burqa”

That would be a huge improvement!
