Louis Vuitton\u2019s Spring\/Summer 2018 collection was presented in the inner courtyard of the Palais Royal in Paris. After an oft-commented collaboration with Supreme last season, Kim Jones is once more going back to a theme near and dear to Louis Vuitton: travel. This time, next summer\u2019s man is taking off for the Pacific Islands. With brilliant textures and oceanic shades, these clothes come directly from a nautical sports wardrobe, as Kim Jones reveals once more her capacity to extract a chic allure from sportswear.<\/p>\n
Her inspiration is taken from a Judith Schalansky book called Pocket Atlas of Remote Islands: Fifty Islands I Have Not Visited and Never Will. <\/i>By combining Louis Vuitton\u2019s history that\u2019s intrinsically linked to travel, the flora of the Pacific Islands, and the easy couture of Hong Kong, Kim Jones offers a vision for the Louis Vuitton man that makes him become a seasoned traveller. Neoprene leg warmers are accompanied by shirts, while the off-kilter elegance of cargo pants marvelously espouses the sophistication of a crocodile vest. \u201cIt\u2019s kind of a subtropical and multicultural vibe. I wanted something very sporty, but I wanted casual tailoring and a fitted and elegant sportswear,\u201d he specified beforehand.<\/p>\n
Louis Vuitton\u2019s seasoned traveller for next season is thus exploring islands accompanied by exquisite fabrics that were specially selected to ensure comfort and give the illusion of a voyage of fabrics around the body. Light jackets float on models on top of tropical printed shirts made of organza. \u201cEach small detail possesses the DNA of travel; it makes for very light jackets \u2026 They [the clothes] need to work in the real world. We\u2019re talking about authenticity here. Any man can enter into a Vuitton store and find something for his lifestyle,\u201d explained Kim Jones. The Spring\/Summer 2018 season seems to tie the Louis Vuitton man together with the founder\u2019s primary passion: making travel accessible, workable, and enjoyable.<\/p>\n
