Louis Vuitton Anchors Modern Lifestyle Collaborations in Historical Design Credentials

Louis Vuitton is no dilettante in the world of interior design and furnishings. Its Objets Nomades collection—featuring one-off and made-to-order marvels created by leading contemporary designers, as well as tableware and textiles—debuted in 2012, but its roots in the home sector reach back more than 100 years to a period rich in architectural and aesthetic innovation. We’re talking about art deco, the thoroughly avant-garde design philosophy that exploded into the world of taste at the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes in Paris. Vuitton was there. And to mark the centenary of this most French of movements, the brand decided to devote much of its new Objets Nomades offering to Parisian artist and craftsman Pierre Legrain, an early deco proponent and a close collaborator of Vuitton’s. Art deco, which drew its name directly from that 1925 exhibit, was inspired by diverse artistic and industrial movements that emerged in the first quarter of the 20th century. Drawing on everything from futurism and cubism to the mechanized revolutions in aviation and automotives, it was all about the future. For a brand like Vuitton, rooted in the glamour of travel, this brave new world was a good place to be—and one in which the Vuitton family moved easily. At the time, the maison’s horizons were expanding well beyond the luggage that was its initial raiso

Louis Vuitton Spring Summer 2027: Nicolas Ghesquière swaps armor for featherweight, ergonomic clothes under flying cars. Nicolas Ghesquière closed Paris Fashion Week on October 6, 2026, by parking a traffic jam in the sky. For Louis Vuitton Spring Summer 2027, striped, Damier-trimmed flying cars hovered above an asphalt runway laid the length of the Louvre’s Cour Carrée, their retro headlights and brake lights glowing against the 17th-century facades.

The show notes describe “a notion of design fundamentally shaped by the conditions, capabilities and movement of the human body.” After seasons of sculptural cloaks, Ghesquière built clothes around the body inside them, not the silhouette outside. “I wanted to express a sensation of simplicity, a feeling of purity,” he told Vogue. The opening look made the point: sleeveless white shift worn with black men’s oxfords. More airy white followed, including a paneled semisheer midi and a flowing V-neck finished with a safety pin, a gentle prelude to everything else. The reasoning was partly practical. “The world is getting warm,” Ghesquière told reporters after the show, citing recent European heat waves. So everything got lighter. The notes list d

PARIS — When Real Madrid heads to Rome for its Champions League game against Roma on Wednesday, its players will be sporting a fresh travel kit. Louis Vuitton has revamped the formalwear and travel creations for the men’s soccer team as it enters the second year of its partnership with the Spanish club , which also covers women’s soccer and men’s basketball. Players including Kylian Mbappé, Vinícius Júnior, Jude Bellingham and Federico Valverde wear a wardrobe designed by Pharrell Williams, creative director of menswear at Vuitton, for major travel and events. The latest items in the line are inspired by the Trunk Edition men’s capsule collection launched last February, while leather goods nod to the 130th anniversary celebrations of the brand’s signature Monogram. Additions to the travel wardrobe include a reversible nylon jacket with a Monogram lining, an embroidered Real Madrid crest at the front, and a personalized inside label bearing both the Real Madrid and Louis Vuitton signatures. A navy blue crew neck sweater, beige polo shirt, reversible belt and navy blue cap complement the look. On the formalwear front, the traditional suit remains unchanged but can be updated with a choice between a new blue-and-white striped shirt, or the beige polo. A cashmere coat from the permanent Louis Vuitton collection, featuring a removable scarf in Monogram and the player’s initials insi

Models walk runway at the Louvre with flying cars hovering above as designer envisions city life in a warming world In silk slip dresses, breezy vented tunics and gossamer layers of chiffon, the models on Louis Vuitton’s catwalk were perfectly dressed for an unseasonably warm October evening in Paris. As the show began at sunset it was still 24C. This summer’s record temperatures were on designer Nicolas Ghesquiière’s mind. “The world is getting warmer, this definitely had a strong influence” he said. The show was staged in an inner courtyard of the Louvre, the catwalk illuminated by the tail lights of a fleet of 34 flying cars in Vuitton’s signature Damier check raised on stilts above the catwalk. The contrast between the futuristic set and the historic buildings was an elegant echo of the centrepiece of the Louvre, where IM Pei’s glass pyramid stands amid the French classical architecture. The future is always on Ghesquière’s mind – his science fiction bent showed up in the models’ beaded silver fringes that were somewhere between space-age hair extensions and sun visors – and this season, he was thinking about life in the cities of the future, his models as pedestrians among flying cars. “I was thinking about a woman walking through traffic, and how in the urban environment we sometimes feel vulnerable and sometimes feel strong.” The featherlight fabrics and free-floating si

Paris Fashion Week is the perfect occasion to have a little fun with your front-row wardrobe, and Katseye ’s Yoonchae and Daniela certainly did. For Louis Vuitton’s spring/summer 2027 show yesterday, the two stars showed off two very different styles of fashion-show dressing. Daniela wore a deep-blue jacket with matching micro shorts and black pointed-toe pumps. Yoonchae’s look leaned sportier, featuring a color-blocked moto jacket, black shorts, and burgundy pumps. The looks did share a few common threads. Both carried cream bags from the upcoming Louis Vuitton x Singer collaboration, which has yet to be released. Daniela opted for the structured Alma, while Yoonchae chose a slouchier drawstring style, both finished with tan leather trim. Daniela also added black cat-eye sunglasses and a chunky gold necklace; Yoonchae kept the jewelry minimal, letting the jacket—and those merlot-hued heels—do most of the talking. Their looks complemented Louis Vuitton’s new collection, which also mixed the familiar with the unexpected. Nicolas Ghesquière staged the show beneath a fleet of cars suspended in midair in the Cour Carrée du Louvre, but the clothes themselves felt much more down-to-earth. Spring 2027 moved between airy dresses, simple knits, technical outerwear, and relaxed tailoring, with references to the ’60s and ’90s throughout. Katseye’s fashion week appearance comes in the mids
