Louis Vuitton's Cruise 2022 Collection is Chic in Future Tense
If there’s one designer who’s fixated on the future, it’s Nicolas Ghesquière. Throughout his career, the now Artistic Director of Women’s Collections at Louis Vuitton has explored Science Fiction-esque themes in many of his collections, and made stuff of Star Trek Voyages into something altogether more desirable.
With this Cruise 2022 collection shown at the Axe Majeur monument in France — an equally futuristic location — he’s perfected some of the most important propositions that have been bubbling up in recent collections. Keep scrolling for some of the best bits from the stellar show.
1960s meets 1980s
When it comes to futurism, the brands like Courrèges and Paco Rabanne will always come to mind for their cocooning shapes and disc dresses that reflected a time where the world was obsessed with space travel. Ghesquiere gives treats that sparce futurism with maximalist hand that give the pieces a tinge of the Dynasty era. And like those decades, the resulting look is one of power and optimism.
From 1854 to 2054
The brand's recently introduced Since 1854 range gets a fresh new look. With a tonal grey and white colourway, applied onto everything from the Petit Malle to more seasonal shapes like a cross-body carryall with an exaggerated strap that opened the show.
The Anti-Sneaker
Trainers have become synonymous with Louis Vuitton, what with the Archlight becoming one of the most recognisable and sought after accessories of the last few years. Though it's clear that Ghesquière has made a shift away from the style of footwear for a few seasons now, this Resort show is perhaps the first time there hasn't been a nod to it. And boy are we here for it.
