Between sky and sea, light on the Louis Vuitton Cruise 2023 show in San Diego

At the heart of a Californian brutalist monument, Nicolas Ghesquière delivers a dazzling futuristic collection, vector of his reflections on the future.


Infinite sky, mirror sea and reinforced concrete.

The twilight atmosphere is lunar, this Thursday, May 12, 2022 at the Salk Institute of Biological Studies in San Diego, where the 2023 Louis Vuitton Cruise has chosen to stop.

This cutting-edge research center nestled in a monument of brutalist architecture by Louis I. Kahn serves as the setting for an equally radical collection.

A metaphor for the "enlightened minds" it shelters, this dazzling promontory gives life to the creations of artistic director Nicolas Ghesquière, which are also turned towards light.

In the stars

Silhouettes of stellar nomads, draped in opulent fabrics, advance in the Californian mineral cathedral.

Caressed by the rays of

golden hour

, the metallic jacquard textures reveal all their depth.

Masterful, these first passages give way to modern silhouettes with futuristic or even urban notes: square crop top with marked shoulders, haughty hood, baggy pants with leather yoke and belt worn at the waist.

A repertoire à la

Dune

where the poetry of draped linen is combined with the metallic hardness of leather, as if borrowed from the cabin of a spaceship.

Almost in orbit, the pace is cut to reach galactic deserts like the skateparks of Los Angeles.

With its monogrammed plate, please.

A golden age

With this show, Louis Vuitton explores a certain idea of ​​futurism, in dialogue with the elements, in conversation with its environment.

An ecological message that the house does not miss an opportunity to convey, as recently, during the 2022 edition of the Met Gala.

The artistic director walked on the red carpet surrounded by the muses of the house, all dressed in outfits already worn in the past, like Emma Stone and her wedding dress.

But he also defends the idea of ​​a more inclusive fashion, by parading the activist model with gold prostheses Lauren Wasser, amputated of both legs following a toxic shock.

Nicolas Ghesquière's message is clear: his own fashion is moving towards a bright future.

A real blast.
