The Timeless Core of Louis Vuitton

Isaac Taylor

For the Louis Vuitton Spring-Summer 2023 collection, imagination was the order of the day. At the timeless core of the Louis Vuitton studio is the belief that imagination – creatorship, craftsmanship, showmanship – can move and unite its spectators around the world. Showmanship was on full display with a wide variety of experimentation.

The premise of the show used a magnified playground as inspiration. A silhouette drawn from swoopy lines, which plays with shrunken and oversized dimensions founded in the idea of a wardrobe grown-into or outgrown, with rootsy nods to the 1990s dress code of the skater community.

They’ve also committed themselves to upcycling their designs, either through reissue, remix, or even breaking things back down into their component parts and starting again. All of this gives a readymade thrift store look.
