The Paris rumor mill has been in overdrive since news broke that Louis Vuitton has taken possession of a mammoth building on the Avenue des Champs-Élysées that was previously earmarked for Dior’s new headquarters.
“It’s hard to put a label on this space because it will be a place that reunites all the expressions of Vuitton: cultural, artistic, commercial, obviously, but also hospitality. It’s part of the role of major luxury brands today to entertain in every sense of the word,” the label’s creative director of womenswear told WWD.
Despite its brief history, it was tempting to imagine patrons arriving in the lobby with trolleys of Vuitton luggage in tow. Ghesquière conjured those ghosts with his opening sequence of full-skirted dresses in contrasting stripes and checks that had a whiff of Victorian propriety, though he said they slip on like a T-shirt.“The life of hotels and the secrets they harbor is enigmatic. It’s very poetic.
His spring collection was designed to be easy to pack: exit the zips and buckles the size of gold bars, and in with lightweight materials like the fine cashmere of a maroon robe coat. The designer is not done with volume yet, only this time he offered inflated blouses and padded satin jackets as snuggly as down comforters.
