RTW AW10: Louis Vuitton
Marc Jacobs said that, after the huge afros, the travelling theme and colour-fest of Spring, he wanted to move Louis Vuitton into a more refined, rooted direction for their Fall collection. And so, with his seemingly unstoppable master touch, Jacobs launched into a gathering of soft, fifties-esque femininity made present by leather designs and bust-enhancing bodices.
Overall, it was all about luxurious textures, elegant shapes and a revisionist take on the trends. Dresses made of lace, fur embellished sweaters and heavy fabrics were cleverly used to further the collection’s undoubted sophistication. The use of faded florals was, thankfully, not monotonous- particularly with contrast black detailing. Clearly, Marc Jacobs has little trouble heading up an iconic brand, working hard to produce good clothes, season after season.
Nice.
