At the Louis Vuitton show, Nicolas Ghesquière invites us to a futuristic amusement park

The majestic setting of the Cour Carrée du Louvre hosted this Tuesday a carnival setting at Coney Island near New York with a circular floor crossed by flashing lights and red veils, enhanced with huge golden flowers at its top.

Welcome to the Louis Vuitton Spring-Summer 2023 show!

It was enough to close this Parisian Fashion Week rich in events and twists.

This grandiose scenography was designed by visual artist Philippe Parreno and production designer James Chinlund.

A starry front row

Behind the security barriers, the crowd awaits the invited VIPs.

Here, no Kardashian family, the friends of the house are rather called Léa Seydoux, Marina Foïs, Alicia Vikander or Jennifer Connelly.

Also arrive the new star of the seventh art, Ana de Armas (the bluffing Marilyn Monroe of

on Netflix), Jaden Smith, Sophie Turner and her husband Joe Jonas and finally Janet Jackson who triggers a riot.

The show can begin.

Tomboys and manga girls

Red curtains open and the models come down from the long catwalks to the podium - a scenography that Nicolas Ghesquière is particularly fond of, who likes nothing so much as these notions of crossing space-time.

The first model is also in “survivalist” mode with its skater skirt with drawstrings crossed by an oversized zipper worn over a lifebuoy-style bustier.

As usual, Nicolas Ghesquière has fun blurring the lines of gender and clothing.

First there are those very “tomboyish” girls dressed in leather jackets and pants printed with metal zips and eyelets.

Then follow the "

" with painted eyes, ultrascenic in their

crossed with geometric designs that they wear on black lace tights and boots with notched rubber soles.

Stylistic games

Others follow in jackets and trousers covered with flowers and disproportionately enlarged details – belt, buckle, zip, metal buttons... giving the whole collection totally hypnotic optical effects.

Girls in ultragraphic dresses cut in black and white leather enhanced with utilitarian multipockets close this collection with energy as electric as an amusement park and luxury as dizzying as a roller coaster.
