For this Cruise 2017 collection, Nicolas Ghesquière brings to life the fascinating duality between modernity and tropicality, through which he expresses the cultural richness as the result of nature and urbanism bond.

As a powerful tribute to the artistic vision of both brazilian artists Helio Oiticica and Aldemir Martins, Nicolas Ghesquière collection offers an outstanding work on fabrics and shapes based on the pinciple of lightness. This creative reflexion leads the Artistic Director of MAISON LOUIS VUITTON to present an enchanting aesthetic, full of emotion and energy.
