Nicolas Ghesquière announced that he wanted to “take on every border and bring the wardrobe into a nomadic spirit” – loyal to the heritage of Louis Vuitton, a heritage strong in travel-based inspiration, the label’s creative director has delivered a sparse collection for Fall/Winter 2017-2018 that focuses on contrasts. By further abolishing the distinction between day and nightwear, Nicolas Ghesquière brings his women the perfect combination – a patchwork of materials and cuts that are slightly avant-garde, once more bringing female sensuality to new horizons.
Technically, this is conveyed by the patchwork of materials that accompany pairings of floral prints as new as they are audacious. Loyal to his own aesthetic but with a tinge of Louis Vuitton’s legend, Nicolas Ghesquière brought an urban woman to the Cour Marly in the Louvre, navigating between a world of styles, mixed with sportswear and ethnic inspirations with a Parisian air of ease.
The key silhouette from this runway adopts a neo-masculine attitude in the cut and choice of fabrics, with the color black and a conquering allure guiding the look that’s further highlighted by a peplum jacket. A sporty belt ties up the waist while the line is slimmed down upon contact with sharp shoulders that give character to the Louis Vuitton woman.
