Louis Vuitton’s Cruise 2015 Collection
The Palais Princier Monaco was the setting for the Louis Vuitton show (@drdidou66)
Today Nicolas Ghesquiere took the Louis Vuitton cruise collection to
the catwalk for the very first time. For such a grand occasion, an
equally grand backdrop was needed and with the world’s starriest of
stars currently holding court in the French Riveira the Palais Princier
Monaco was, naturally, the perfect location. When Ghesquiere showed his
first collection for the legendary house during Paris Fashion Week in
February, he certainly made his mark by showing his collection in a
pared-back manner. And despite the swanky setting for the Cruise 2015
show, the same execution applied.

Set within a glass box room, the catwalk was lined by swirling
couches and only one row deep, such was the exclusivity of the event.
With minimal seating the guest list read like a list of who’s who of the
A-list with actresses including Jennifer Connelly, Adele Exarchopoulos
and Charlotte Gainsbourg joining the likes of Anna Wintour. And, of
course, being in Monaco, there was a touch of royalty too in the shape
of Charlene, Princess on Monaco, who kindly opened the doors of her
palace for Ghesquiere and his pilgrims.
The collection, stomping down a video rock pool floor, ranged from
bold ’70s-esque wallpaper two pieces to dresses that could have been
served in from the palace tennis court. If the wallpaper patterns were
not seen in the attire they were given a supporting role in the
accessories. High waist trousers with exposed LV emblazoned zips also
made an appearance, in the collections’ stand out colour, lemon yellow.
In turn, each and every piece was either offset by lashings of leather
or subtle layering.

If today’s fash-tivities are anything to go
by it appears Ghesquiere is cruising along nicely at Louis Vuitton. See
