Louis Vuitton Catwalk Fashion Show Womenswear SS2018 Paris

The oddest combination of fashion items was Nicolas Ghesquière trump for Louis Vuitton on Wednesday as we gathered at the Louvre’s Pavillon de l’Horloge. Running shorts paired with luxurious brocade (waist)coats and chunky sneakers (hello millennial money) were the statement makers during the opening of the show. Sporty elements later returned in the shape of some striped zipped up pieces, scuba fabrics, backpacks and the tiniest pair of sunglasses. Such contrasts! Wide sleeved blouses and waistcoats were followed up by delicate dresses worn with leather off shoulder tops. Patent leather pieces and a fresh new rock shirt already had the looks of next summer’s bestsellers. Items that, just like those stunning sneakers, Louis Vuitton’s brand new store on Place Vendôme will sell like hotcakes within a few months.
