Louis Vuitton SS15:

Nicolas Ghesquière's Second Collection fronts the dawn of a new era

Louis Vuitton is a brand foundedon travel: those iconic trunks, suitcases and smart, stylish

 ready-to-wear for the jetset girl. So new designer Nicolas Ghesquière’s decision to look to the space age, and its teeming possibilities for space travel, is a fun, fresh take on an esteemed brand heritage.This wasn't a collection that took its inspiration from one particular idea but from a desire to travel into the future. Woven dresses with choir boy collars and drawstring ties gave this show its foundation along with printed velvet ruffle-trim gowns and striped leather skirts. Lightweight short-sleeve dress, detailed with soft appliqué panelling, gave the impression that these were clothes which had been designed for the future but also suggested that this was an offering that had been created with tried and tested codes from the past in mind.
