Louis Vuitton Cruise –

Nicolas Ghesquière thinking about this idea of dualities for his latest collection, but those that exist between New York and Paris, the home of Louis Vuitton and the reason for its inspirations and overall savoir-faire. The show set out to tell the story of the uptown (the location: the Frick Collection, where Vuitton has just announced a three-year cultural sponsorship), and the downtown through the artist collaboration with the Keith Haring foundation. The latter popped up throughout the collection, on jackets and swing tops as if they were his canvas. Show notes described a 1930 suitcase in the Vuitton archive as a starting point that had been graffiti’d on by Haring and rediscovered by Ghesquière—it accessorized the show’s first look.

Set to a soundtrack led by electroclash musician Peaches, the show took note of the colors and exuberance of New York City streets. The primary colors of yellow taxi cabs, red traffic signs, and green street placards anchored the collection across oversized boxing shorts and capris, both single and double-breasted blazers, shown with basketball sneakers. Towards the end of the show, Ghesquière peppered in the familiar, folded miniskirts, and swing tops (a Ghesquière signature at this point), and ruffles that finished the hems of body-skimming capri body suits, mostly shown with brimless felt hats. Jersey, leather, and denim all were woven through the collection—markers of the American wardrobe, no matter what borough you live in.

All in all, it was a riotous celebration of the freedom that is specific to New York and that Ghesquière undoubtedly feels as a designer. A freedom to continue to keep creating, in his own unique way, whether he’s in Paris or on the island of Manhattan.
