On January 21, Louis Vuitton opened the ball for Men's Fashion Week, laying down its trunks at the Cour Carrée of Louvre. Still orchestrated by Pharrell Williams, a new face joined the artistic direction: Nigo. Friend of the designer for many years, they found each other in the capital to imagine the latest men's collection, and it's fair to say that their friendship holds up, just as well as their show.
This new collection named Remember the Future, is inspired by Japanese workwear and streetwear, but not only. According to Pharrell, the collection is an "artistic expression of a lifelong friendship". Together, the two designers imagined a collection with vintage and streetwear accents, exploring in particular the figure of the contemporary dandy.
The show begins with the sound of the Orchestre du Pont-Neuf, in a setting as poetic as it is geometric. The first silhouettes appear, and the expression "dandy streetwear" takes on its full meaning. Flared pants mix with work jackets, suits are paired with xxl sneakers, and total denim looks are accompanied by original accessories. Leather bermuda shorts and sleeveless workwear jackets, worn by couriers pushing the brand's iconic males. But also logotype suits, teddies and fur coats with leopard print.
To japanese style from French style :
This time, we're not talking about candy pink or chick yellow, but cherry blossom pink and yuzu yellow. The color pantone also includes brown, color of the year, as well as more sober shades such as navy blue, beige, gray and black and white. In addition to the contemporary dandy style, the show borrowed inspiration from Japanese culture. This can be seen in the sleek, flared cuts of the garments and the denim inserts reminiscent of boro (Japanese denim patchwork).
When it comes to accessories, the speedy is THE bag of the season. In leather, patterned or monochrome, it is reflected in new colors, and we can't wait to adopt it. In addition to the brand's iconic trunks, the collection also includes new items such as crustacean bags and key rings for handbags.
Finally, the stars of the show, in addition to the quality front row, are the Millionaires sunglasses, conceived by the design duo twenty years ago, and reinvented for the occasion.
A trendy and innovative four handed collection, where Pharrell's prolific genius and Nigo's rich heritage meet, to form a show in its own right, inspired and inspiring.
