The Louis Vuitton man returns to the house’s basics. Indeed, it goes without saying that the house with the famous monogram was originally specialized in luxury trunks for travelers of the time.
For the Fall/Winter 2013/2014 season, it’s to this part of its history that the house has chosen to turn. An eternal adventurer, inspired by what he has seen in the four corners of the world on his many travels (including the Himalayas for this season), the Louis Vuitton man juggles trends and materials.
Initially wise and preppy, with long coats and trenches in shades of gray and beige, the exoticism of her discoveries was soon imprinted on her clothes, notably through leopard-print fur collars or rich leathers.
Leather is then either accompanied by fur, or, on its own, is dyed in organic colors: ochre or chocolate.
This fashion show is like climbing the Himalayas, and builds to a crescendo. The further we go, the warmer and more suited to the harshness of the heights the looks on offer become. After a leopard-print fur coat (with its winky sweater), down jackets join the dance, along with striped ponchos and lined hoods.
The end of the ascent, the realization of a dream, the Louis Vuitton gentleman celebrates his entry into the exclusive club of those who have succeeded in climbing to the roof of the world. It’s party time, and the costumes are de rigueur, not without a certain nostalgia for his journey, which is recalled by the traditional Bhutanese prints on the leather goods, blazers and bathrobes.
