A major attraction this early October was the garden party for Louis Vuitton’s Spring/Summer 2023 Fashion Show, which took place at Paris’ Louvre Museum’s main courtyard Cour Carrée.
In addition to all the traditional items, there were some highly unconventional aspects among the flowery designs, billowing blouses, delicate, colorful hosiery, and frilly skirts that were on display. Nicolas Ghesquière, the creative director, seems to have run with the saying “go big or go home.” Ghesquière has established the Louis Vuitton style by having a solid handle on novelty and the flexibility of transition, but spring 2023 had a certain sense of humor that we hadn’t exactly encountered from the company previously. The tiger print jackets, mermaid-blue patterned pants, meticulously crafted cargo pockets, and rich patchwork leathers all were clear indications of the collection’s heritage and skill. The topic at hand is femininity, and Louis Vuitton joins the discussion by emphasizing it, celebrating its complexities, highlighting it, and putting it center stage. It’s a style experiment in which the scales of clothes and their accessories are upended by the conventions of femininity. On silhouettes, both the infinitely vast and the infinitely miniscule converge, calling for a second glance.
