As raindrops painted the Parisian streets, the Louvre pyramids glowed through the gloom, setting the stage for the Louis Vuitton Fall 2024 runway show on Tuesday, March 5th. The iconic Cour Carrée du Louvre played host to the finale of Paris Fashion Week, as Nicolas Ghesquière showcased his 10th-anniversary collection for the iconic French fashion powerhouse.

Against this atmospheric backdrop, was a sci-fi installation by artist Philippe Parreno, infusing an otherworldly dimension into the runway experience. In a reminiscent nod to his debut show for Louis Vuitton, Ghesquière placed a typewriter message on every seat. “It’s a beautiful journey. I’m continuing it,” affirmed the designer, having recently renewed his contract at Louis Vuitton for another five years.

Louis Vuitton’s Fall 2024 collection embarks on an intergalactic odyssey, presenting a striking fusion of futuristic design and timeless sophistication. Drawing inspiration from Ghesquière’s artistic ventures over the past decade, the runway showcases ice-gray sharp tailoring that epitomizes precision and structure. The frosty color palette is dominated by blues and steel grays. Ghesquière’s homage to his previous collections becomes evident as the collection introduces playful textures such as gold-embroidered jackets, leather skirts, and feather trims, creating an eclectic blend of opulence within the minimalist space.

A unique twist unfolds with Trompe-l’œil prints, skillfully emulating Louis Vuitton luggage on bags, paired with matching dresses. Meanwhile, adding an eclectic touch to the lineup is the avant-garde egg-shaped Monogram bag.
