Just days after an unexploded World War II bomb near Paris’ Gare du Nord briefly stole headlines, a different kind of spectacle unfolded across the street: Louis Vuitton’s fashion show extravaganza Monday evening.

The root of the collection leans on funky pairings meant to elicit personal responses. Highlighting different variations of travel attire and the characters who would potentially wear them signals the importance of offering audiences clothing created from real-life experiences. Ghesquière succeeds at chasing this ideal.

Louis Vuitton's show during Paris Fashion Week always provides us with best-in-class celebrity sightings, and this season was hardly the exception. At yesterday's show were musicians like Lisa and Haim as well as actors Saoirse Ronan, Sophie Turner, Ava DuVernay, Emma Stone, Phoebe Dynevor, and Who What Wear's August 2024 cover star Adria Arjona.
