Nicolas Ghesquière's Bold Layering for Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2025
Louis Vuitton closes out Paris Fashion Week with bold silhouettes and layering.
Louis Vuitton closed out Paris Fashion Week in style, displaying Nicolas Ghesquière's Spring/Summer 2025 collection in the courtyard of the Louvre Museum.
The runway, a whimsical creation made of trunk facades—a nod to Louis Vuitton’s roots in luxury luggage—rose into a podium to signal the start of the show, immediately captivating the audience. Front-row stars like Zendaya and Ana de Armas watched from the front row as the collection unfolded.
Ghesquière’s lineup for the season was a set in layering, with short, flouncy skirts paired with puffy-sleeved jackets taking center stage. The collection exuded a playful energy, blending structured tailoring with a carefree, bohemian spirit. The models strutted down the trunk-adorned runway in tops cinched at the waist, adding definition to the otherwise flowy silhouettes. Accessories like loosely fastened neckties created movement and added a chic, effortless touch to each look.
Handbags, a key element in any Louis Vuitton show, were particularly notable this season. Models carried an array of bags, often more than one at a time, with the accessories stacked like jewelry—an inventive twist that showcased the versatility and timeless appeal of Louis Vuitton’s leather goods. The bags ranged from classic designs to more avant-garde shapes, proving that the brand's heritage and innovation are always in harmony.
Shoes, too, drew inspiration from the house’s deep leatherworking history. Laid-back flats with thick, mismatched leather straps nodded to the brand's artisanal craftsmanship, while dressy heels featuring twisted leather details added a modern, sculptural element to the collection. The mix of footwear styles enhanced the eclectic yet polished vibe of the show.
