It shouldn’t come as a surprise to any of us that Louis Vuitton takes us on yet another dazzling adventure to discover its latest creations!
Indeed, the House has chosen one of Japan’s most wondrous cities, Kyoto, for its Cruise Collection. The runway show, which will be held on Sunday the 14th of May 2017, is expected to bloom at the heart of the Miho Museum, designed by I.M Pei- also known as the influential architect of the Grand Louvre and its pyramids in Paris. The museum itself was inspired by Shangri-La- or heaven on earth- and brought upon the world in the midst of a hidden valley, where a metal tunnel and a futuristic suspension bridge reinforce the idea of art and modernity.
Nicolas Ghesquière, Artistic Director of Women’s Collections at Louis Vuitton, stated: “The place inspired me right away. After the desert and Palm Springs, the ocean and Rio, I wanted to introduce people to another landscape, to immerse them in a sea of green. With the I.M. Pei’s Miho Museum we are continuing an architectural voyage that suits the Maison Louis Vuitton to a tee. For our 2018 Cruise fashion show we are transported into a tangled web of nature, geographical greatness and a unique architectural vision”.
Louis Vuitton will be the first House to host its runway show in the museum, lending its voice a whole lot of glamorousness, don’t you think? Don’t forget to watch Louis Vuitton’s Croisière fashion show live on louisvuitton.com!
