In Shanghai, Nicolas Ghesquière shares his whimsical Louis Vuitton collection news

Louis Vuitton’s latest womenswear collection, presented on the Long Museum in Shanghai, was crammed with kitsch elements and engaging checkered accessories. At the Voyager exhibition, Nicolas Ghesquière presented wonderful works with prints by Sun Yitian, an artist from Beijing. In addition to the outfits decorated with Yitian’s artwork, the pre-fall 2024 offering was also colourful and implausible. There was something for everybody, including front row guests Regina King and Jennifer Connelly. The floral dress with a long-sleeved peplum sweater seemed a bit odd, but had a rather sporty feel because it hit the runway in sneaker-like heels. Various leather variants were also presented: a leather skirt with oversized hoops and metal details, elegant platform ankle boots and a series bag in fiery red.

The collection included a basic set of garments that felt like a combo of sorts: a pair of black and yellow leather pants worn with a striped T-shirt and a plaid jacket. This outfit was immediately followed by a fun moment that consisted of a vivid orange and pink knitted and striped sweater paired with a brown pleated leather skirt. The fancy Peter Pan collar added a fun twist to this sweater and gave the sailor dress a brand new twist. At the highest, an oversize jacket was combined with a tennis skirt with small pleats. The most eye-catching element of this styling were black shoes with white geometric shapes.

This Pre-Fall 2024 line from Ghesquière shows the designer’s lack of limits. It also explores the infinite possibilities that will be explored with regards to dressing for colder weather. Instead of wearing shapeless and boring clothes, you may select variations that include colourful sweaters, interesting leather skirts that catch the attention with perfect pleats, and more.
