No one knows how to travel in time better than Louis Vuitton


The Musee d 'Orsay, together with the Louvre and the Pompidou Center, are known as the three major art museums in Paris, displaying the glorious period of French art in the 19th century with a rich art collection. In this autumn/winter ready-to-wear collection, Louis Vuitton is embarking on an important journey of enlightenment, searching for a decisive moment that can be felt, showing in a fleeting moment the vagaries of youth and freedom.

At the same time, Louis Vuitton also invited brand spokesperson Liu Yifei, brand ambassadors Di Lireba and Zhong Chuxi, and freestyle skiing world champion Gu Ailing to watch the big show with everyone. Under the witness of art through the ages, Louis Vuitton Autumn/Winter 2022 collection brings us a new exploration of youth and freedom.

Jung Ho-yeon, who became a global hit last year with "Squid Game" and is also a Louis Vuitton brand ambassador, appeared as the opening model. She entered the Musee d 'Orsay's central gallery in a leather jacket, loose trousers and a printed tie.

This look also laid the whole season of retro temperament and modern design crossover style, it is not difficult to see that this season's female image is more powerful than before. The combination of silhouette coats and wide-leg pants makes them more chic. The overall temperament is closer to the collocation of retro men's wear, and the combination of the line sense of women's wear design creates a skybridge moment of the season.

At the Louis Vuitton show, things like jackets and shirts paired with fancy old-fashioned floral ties may become a trend next. This retro and vibrant look shows the attitude of young people who are willing to experiment. More dramatic silhouette suits and coats are also one of this season's signature pieces.

Slightly different from the once popular Oversize style, the nearly enlarged style and the center cut of the heavy shoulder collar make these pieces show not the bold fun of the street, but a more powerful sense of power. The whole series of women's wear is full of neutral temperament, as well as rebellious, casual atmosphere.

Inspired by the elegant dress of Eugenie, the wife of Napoleon III and the last empress of France, the dress represents the luxurious style of the past court and combines modern fabrics, which is also a mixture of retro and modern. The combination of exaggerated dress skirt and turtleneck sweater not only shows the tenderness outside the texture of silhouette, but also makes the temperament of women more and more obvious.

In addition, the reconstructed skirt is also a highlight, the three-dimensional structure of the court from the waist to the crotch, the skirt on both sides of the sheet hanging down, with loose wide-leg pants, both leisure and aristocratic temperament, is the free collision of the past and modern. The combination with the trench coat also allows us to see the actual wear of this exaggerated silhouette.

Since his appointment, womenswear artistic director Nicolas Ghesquiere's uncertainty of time has been throughout the design, and around this theme, endless imagination has been born in the clothing, blending the past and the present as a subtext presented in the work of each season. This season's many interesting prints, for example, feature portraits from photographer David Sims' 90s work.

Like Nicolas Ghesquiere, they embraced youth in the nineties and looked for something completely different in their peers from the previous generation, thus establishing the most representative wool elements of their time.

David Sims' video works are applied to different pieces, which is a dialogue between the avant-garde spirit of the past and the design of today, which is also an intuitive reflection of Nicolas's retro futurism. By combining these prints with dresses, the effect of overlapping two fake pieces is made through different gradient printing and dyeing, so that this hoodie style has a new vitality.

The transitional design of this season's clothing is also very representative, from the retro commuter wear of the opening gradually transition to the heavy texture of fabric, reflecting the texture of high-end fabrics, creating a unique autumn and winter temperament of Louis Vuitton. To the modern street style based on printed dresses and shirt skirts, more bright colors continue to deepen our impression of design.

The mix of flowing dresses and daddy polo shirts or knitted sweaters intertwines classical and modern styles, allowing us to see the side of freedom and pride.

The entire Autumn/Winter 2022 ready-to-wear collection is like a complete narrative interpreted by the clothes, conveying the choice of unrestrained and diverse dressing. The ability to move through time is Nicolas's knack for surprising audiences every season.

In addition to ready-to-wear, Louis Vuitton bags have always been the focus of attention, and this time Nicolas Ghesquiere brings us more innovative styles in this time journey, which will also become one of the highlights of the street in the future.

The Dauphine crossbody bag, which combines commuter and casual temperament, appears in a visually softer and thicker style, with an angular and gentle temperament.

Twist wraps combine with quilted cowhide to create a smart design that balances modernity with gentle vintage. The different bag types in the classic leather color also show the texture and craftsmanship of Louis Vuitton's high-end leather goods.

As for the exploratory temperament of this season, Louis Vuitton has provided us with more luggage styles. More partial box-type explosive models appear in the show, just like to travel at any time, the free temperament is self-evident.

In addition to the classic Petite Malle square clutch bag, the lower part of the box is opened up to form a unfolded triangle box, creating a compact shape while also containing plenty of space. In addition to the traditional brown presbyteria, this season also features futuristic fabrics in metallic shades and colorful printed bags, which embody a neutral vibe and retro futurism in every detail.

Echoing the journey of youth and freedom, Louis Vuitton's shoes are more casual this season. The wonderful mix of sneakers, German training shoes and dresses shows us the free will of young people. There are also slippers designed to step on the foot, but also let this season's shoes to convey the same design language as clothing - unfettered, go with you.

At the same time, Nicolas's reflection on time is also expressed through vintage pieces. The loafer opening is transformed into a fish-mouth open-toe style, with different textures of fabric, showing an innovative perspective on the past and future. Classic black leather looks very casual business temperament, patterned suede has a hippie leather feeling. Compared with traditional square shoes, open shoes that retain the original shape are less rigid and more comfortable with French wear.

This season, several colorful straight boots are also particularly eye-catching, saturated colors and soft leather complement each other, and LV's representative silhouette skirt together, each step is both soft and powerful, interpreting the independent temperament of modern women.

Not only that, the various colors of tubular metal segments composed of this season's show accessories are also extremely modern art temperament. The sense of distorted lines, like the flow of time in Nicolas's design, is one of the concrete forms of his retro futurism.

Ties also make a big splash this season, with wide vintage styles paired with bright prints, especially in a collection of dark colors.

One of the features of this collocation is to decorate the neckline with the silk scarf, which is a new way of matching the shirt neckline and tie, and the sense of satin light of high-end fabrics also adds a lot of color to the overall look.

The narrow tie appears in a more traditional form and is paired with jackets and leather jackets to give commuting wear a more retro relaxed feel.

This collection pays tribute to youth and infuses more youth vitality into this journey of discovery of Louis Vuitton. Sing of this fleeting moment and hope that it will retain the pure beauty of the unsolved poem of youth.

Full of romantic feelings, inspiring idealism, hopes for the future, expectations for a better world and the pursuit of perfection, all good flowing in the central gallery of the Musee d 'Orsay, this is an unforgettable time conversation brought to us by Nicolas Ghesquiere.
