October 5, 2022: French maison Louis Vuitton has always been the one for details. Every tiny object needs to have a purpose, a meaning. Their latest Spring Summer 2023 collection was no exception. However, it magnifies the detail to a large scale.
Almost fantastical, it takes zips, clasps, buckles, buttons, even shoe soles, and all other usually small hardware of fashion into the limelight. Quite reminiscent of Versace’s large safety pin dress, these 'trivial' things, that are hidden but hold the entire clothing together, get the spotlight thanks to Louis Vuitton's Nicolas Ghesquiere.
Witty, imaginative, the collection challenges the notion of typical feminine clothing with its eccentric but delightful detailing. If you think you are in Alice in Wonderland, we are not surprised. The assortment includes a vibrant colour palette, streamlined silhouettes, leather outfits, floral lace leggings and suede enhancements.
The show was attended by many celebrities, including Deepika Padukone – a Louis Vuitton ambassador – who has also been recently announced as Cartier’s first ambassador from India.
