Louis Vuitton Fall 2025 Collection
Travel has always been a central theme in Louis Vuitton’s narrative, and for the Fall-Winter 2025/26 season, Nicolas Ghesquière explores its symbolism with a collection that merges railway romance, cinematic references, and a futuristic vision. Presented at L’Étoile du Nord, a hidden train station steeped in 19th-century travel nostalgia, the show unfolded as an ode to movement and the emotions stirred by departures and reunions.
The fluid silhouettes reflected the rhythm of travel: structured yet weightless wool coats, paired with accessories that paid homage to the house’s heritage, such as the iconic Keepall, reimagined in soft pastels and refined lines. The debut of the “L’Express” bag, blending nostalgia with contemporary allure, reaffirmed Ghesquière’s mastery in reinventing Vuitton’s legacy.
Yet, this collection was far from just a retrospective. Ghesquière, always with a forward-thinking approach, infused his designs with elements of gorpcore aesthetics and the electronic music of Kraftwerk, whose album Trans-Europe Express influenced both the show’s soundtrack and several graphic motifs. The result was an exquisite juxtaposition of metallic Victorian-inspired ruffles, baroque jacquards, fur coats with silver accents, and sneakers with architectural lines.
Spanning 60 looks, the collection showcased a cast of travelers in motion: from flight attendants in 1980s-inspired uniforms to urban explorers in cargo shorts and oversized New Wave sweaters. The layering of textures and silhouettes evoked the spontaneity of travel: translucent vinyl-effect trench coats, floral slip dresses, and plaid blankets reinterpreted in a ready-to-wear context. Some models appeared wrapped in shawl-like blankets, while others carried hatboxes and vintage-inspired trunks in 1950s hues, reinforcing the themes of movement and nostalgia.
With nearly 12 years at the helm of Louis Vuitton, Ghesquière continues to evolve his vision while staying true to the house’s DNA. His message is clear: fashion is the ultimate vehicle for adventure, and Louis Vuitton remains at the forefront of the journey.
