French designer Nicolas Ghesquière completes 10 yrs with Louis Vuitton

Lit by luminous celestial globes, the silhouettes retraced Ghesquière’s ten-year adventure with Louis Vuitton while at the same time exploring new horizons. Melding introspection and imagination, the collection is a stratification of memories, reflections, emotions and references. In this creative journey the creative director followed his own stylistic North Star, the curious traveller’s essential compass. The creative vocabulary defined over the years is reinvented, charting a course to a new dawn for Louis Vuitton. 

Redefining time and space, the show oscillated between white and black, silver and bronze, electrified with touches of colour. The savoir-faire of the Maison scintillated anew, embroideries to leather goods. Reflective materials and soft leathers accompanied the movement of the silhouettes, often with architectural shoulders. With masked eyes and gloved hands, Louis Vuitton women stepped into tomorrow, the company said in a press release.

An echo of the past resounded in a sculpted contemporary dress through a Monogram trunk print. Each bag reworked innovation in fun new shapes. The set was designed by artist Philippe Parreno in collaboration with production designer James Chinlund, and the soundscape was by sound designer Nicolas Becker.
