Future classics by Vuitton

Inside and outside mix at Louis Vuitton. The great halls of the Musée d’Orsay have microphones that combine the sound of the outdoors along the Seine with the human sound of the heartbeat and footsteps of the models walking down the runway. Urban and technological vibrations chosen by Nicolas Ghesquière to trace a sensory collision and narrate the moment. It is not all. A dream team get together among the artwork: Pietro Beccari welcomes Michael Burke, Pharrell arrives at the show, Zendaya ignites the crowd. The celebrity line up is one for great occasions.

The focus goes to the dresses in that reflection on French style. «Classicism with a twist» is how Nicolas Ghesquière himself, Women’s Creative Director for the Lvmh fashion house explained the collection to MFF. «Trompe l’oeil dresses draped as if they were wrapped around the body. Pearl necklaces as dresses. Coats made of fabrics that look like carbon steel». Past and future together, brocades, empire necklines, long scarves, and small musical instruments as jewelry, until that mask of light that brings everything forward again, ready to illuminate the journey. Indeed, the French designer makes everyone feel into a spaceship, which starts off slowly with those outfits that seem bon ton but immediately reveal a soul of research. The lines of the dresses swell and become architectural, like fragments of clothes that play with dimensions. A cocktail dress becomes an experiment, large jackets are bomber jackets, descendants of gigantism. Suits as a second skin worn even under a light skirt, while continuing to explore with fabrics with a masculine hand.

Judgment. A beautiful overview: the city, Paris, the past, the future, the urban world, the space. A true clash of inspiration and preciousness. From the softest super ornate forms to sculptural solutions that modulate the body, with a sensory clash of strong impact, happily involving the avant-garde setting as well. (all rights reserved)
