Mystery Prize (they haven't stated) Competition

Where are you? May 2012

To enter this competition, you'll need to turn to pages 144-145 of the May 2012 issue of Cond! Nast Traveller magazine, and identify the store, shopping district and city where the picture was taken.

Clue:
This french fashion house, founded in Paris in 1854, is known for its distinctive monogram logo which appears not only on most of its products but on some of its stores, too. And one such eye-catching outpost of luxury, which brings new meaning to the term 'designer boutique', is in a labyrinthine shopping district in one of the world's most high-octane cities. Located behind the 54-storey tower that lies in the middle of the $4-billion development, the store - the company's ninth in this Asian country - opened in 2003 and contains a 'bag bar' where customers make their choice while seated on stools in front of a vertical display. Although dedicated to the pursuit of retail therapy in a sprawling metropolis of 13 million people, about half of the 27-acre site in which the store is situated consists of open spaces, and includes a Zen-like traditional garden.

Singapore (in my opinion)

hamsterfan1

singapore is too small, New Delhi fit's interms of date opening but there are only 4 stores in India - I give up

hoogervaaner

The store is Louis Vuitton (they are well known for their bag bars), I'm removing my initial location suggestion as I think the posters below are more accurate

Just adding my tuppence!

I think it might be Louis Vuitton, Roppongi Hills in Tokyo

$4 billion development
It's got a 54-storey tower
Tokyo's population is roughly 13 million

Morning,
I think it is Roppoingi Hills, if you go to the website here it says "This is LOUIS VUITTON's ninth full-line store in Japan, offering the brand's range of quality trunks, footwear, leather accessories, watches, jewelry, and men's and ladies ready to wear items."
