Designer Dossier - Nicolas Ghesquière
Marie Claire Australia|June 2017

The Louis Vuitton artistic director takes the traditional fashion house on a journey towards a new aesthetic.

Designer Dossier - Nicolas Ghesquière

When you’re a fashion house built on bags, how do you make sure the clothes get their share of the spotlight?

In his three short years as artistic director of Louis Vuitton, Nicolas Ghesquière has turned the Vuitton woman into a new breed. With fitted silhouettes and tractor-sole boots, she’s more of a warrior girl beamed in from a retro-tinged fashion planet – and her clothes are giving the cult bags a run for their money.

Ghesquière, 45, developed his combination of technology and couture during his 15-year tenure at Balenciaga, energising the label with “robo-woman” leggings and Lego-inspired heels, a sharp, futuristic aesthetic still evident in his Vuitton designs.

In a rare chat, Ghesquière tells us about his love for manga, Paris and Paloma Picasso.
