For next season, Kim Jones chose to put the allure of French dandy aesthetics front and center for her collection. Who better to incarnate this than Alexis aka the Baron Rédé? With little concern for celebrity, Alexis Rosenberg has lived in elegance and taste, with a pomp that is eminently seductive. This man was the starting point for Louis Vuitton’s Fall/Winter 2016 collection. Très chic!
This influence translates into muted colors, a gauge of military garb, and an aesthetic that says French Navy more than gentrified artist. In complete serenity, Kim Jones diffuses a sleek, affirmed, and charming masculinity; when a silk shirt goes by, it seems to be Jean Cocteau himself, eminent figure of the Art Deco period, that’s convoked for next season.
But the creative director doesn’t forget two constant themes at Louis Vuitton: utility and ornamentation. A brand whose primary objective is to accommodate its clientele through the changing of an era would be wont to forget this. Jones thus toned down the classic monogram canvases in somber black and grey versions dubbed Monogram Eclipse. Even better, bringing the symbiosis of clothing and accessories to the next level, he created a mirror-lined interior conceived as a super luxurious briefcase. Simply a must-have.
