Conceptuel. Louis Vuitton AW15

AW14 was about 70’s and the refreshed wardrobe. SS15 was looking at vintage florals and denim. AW15 is looking at the future, as Nicolas Ghesquiere stated after the Louis Vuitton show. And, it really did. Presented at the Louis Vuitton Foundation, Feja Beha walked down the runway in a fluffy, white shearling coat. Then, a very diverse model casting wore abstract peplum tops, satin suites with logo appliqued t-shirts and sexy lace “underwear” dresses.

Kept in ich colour palette, Ghesquiere’s conceptual take on winter wardrobe is über-interesting. The trousers seem to match everyhing just like the boldly coloured knits. I kind of love it.

December 24: Merry Christmas everyone! The wait is over- the first day of Christmas starts now. And if talking of fashion, out of 24 people who stole my heart this year, Nicolas Ghesquiere of Louis Vuitton wins the game. Since his first collection for LV, Nicolas brings chic, travel-inspired and aesthetical view to the Parisian house. With his friends like Marie Amelie Sauve or Pelayo Diaz, Nicolas Ghesquiere makes the Parisian fashion weeks anticipated more than ever! Specially for this occasion, lets shortly review what his 2014 looked like.

Time Travel. Louis Vuitton SS15

Slide2

 The Fondation Louis Vuitton, Frank Gehry’s new masterpiece, was gleaming above the Bois de Boulogne in the October sun. And here, also, the third Louis Vuitton show was held under creative direction of Nicolas Ghesquiere. It was literally a time travel. Sci-fi movie. Big, cyborg platforms with youthful faces speaking in unison lines that had been lifted and modified from the 1984 David Lynch film, Dune: “A beginning is a very delicate time…Day zero in the heart of the project, code-named GEHRY014…A ship surrounded by a gigantic woodland, a ship made up of 3,600 glass panels and 15,000 tons of steel, a ship that serves as an incubator and ignites our fellow creative minds…Oh, yes, I forgot to tell you, today, October 1, the LV house wants to explore the ability to travel to any part of the universe without moving. The journey starts here.” We know already from Ghesquiere’s Balenciaga times, that he loves science-fiction. But that was major. That was the start. First looks were all about folklore knits. Then, sharp denim. Modernistic dresses. Floral collages. Fun with LV logo. “No rupture with last season,” Ghesquière said afterward. “It’s still a wardrobe, it’s about an instinctive mix.” Indeed there was a mix of wearable and couture-ish vibe. But it was totally Nicolas Ghesquiere. What are your thoughts about the show?
