For this Autumn-Winter 2016 collection, Nicolas Ghesquière accomplishes a captivating adventure through both time and the heart of the MAISON LOUIS VUITTON, unearthing the glorious vestiges of a visionary trunk-maker and recasting yesterday's creations for today's tastes.

He defines a heroine who is always on the move, whose elegance springs from her dynamism. He forges heritage to better illustrate the present, in clothing that combines irrefutable classicism with the athletic vitality of a true explorer.

This Autumn-Winter collection moves through time, dissolving the borders of memory. It's a wardrobe that affectionately revisits the past, invents a confident present and defines a fluid mutable future.

Immersed a retro-futuristic setting, numerous guests attended the event, and Nicolas Ghèsquiere’s  Autumn-Winter 2016 collection for Louis Vuitton.
