At Louis Vuitton This Season, Nicholas Ghesquière Eschewed Spectacle for Sophistication, and Imbued Fantasy With Functionality. Rochelle Pinto Had to Keep From Touching Everything

Age Of Elegance

If you’re searching for a starting point from which to approach Nicholas Ghesquière’s latest effort at Louis Vuitton, think orange. Orange patent leather boots slinking sexily just above the knee, meant to flash just a hint of skin below the hemline of those ’60s-inspired sheath dresses. Orange patent leather boots that illustrate, in one bright flash, why impractical and irresistible can make for a winning commercial combination.

As we drive to the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur, where the Louis Vuitton Pre-Fall 2017 collection awaits us inside a spartan building curiously named The Metal Bees, those orange boots are already atop everybody’s lust list. But there’s plenty more in Ghesquière’s bottomless bag of tricks.
