On a stage made out of hundreds of trunks, Nicolas Ghesquière presented a Spring/Summer 2025 collection for Louis Vuitton equally opulent when it comes to ideas.
The season’s starting point came from one of Ghesquière’s favourite history periods, the Renaissance. The show opened with a round of looks which played with the shapes of jackets from the era – the sleeves were billowy and the peplums flowed as the models walked down the runway. And since this is a Nicolas Ghesquière collection, these garments of historical proportions were given a modern edge through their lightness and pairing with striped bicycle shorts.
Excellent outerwear propositions continued throughout the offering, including the standout off-white cape with an architectural collar (worn with dramatic feathery shoes) and a black chiffon jacket with sharp ‘80s shoulders, embellished with oversized stones.
The fluid nature of the collection was emphasised by the strings of necklaces dangling all the way to the navel. The jewellery accents were further used throughout the accessories range, from monogrammed bags decorated with a rainbow of stones to bucket hats embellished with pendants swinging to the beat of the soundtrack.
