Louis Vuitton's SS23 Believes More is More
This is not for the faint of heart.
Louis Vuitton proves excess and decadence are in with its Spring/Summer 2023 Ready-to-Wear collection. Oversized zippers, puffy collars and exaggerated prints steal the show as Creative Director Nicolas Ghesquière presents a large-than-life collection.
Tapping the French artist Philippe Parreno to create his circus-like runway installation, Squid Game‘s HoYeon Jung opens the fantastical display. The French luxury brand adopts a “more is more” attitude, offering regal high collars that mimic neck pillows, alongside protruding hips of a similar design. Head to toe leather suits are bestowed with an over abundance of buckle illustrations, resulting in a sense of refined edginess and faux grit.
Elsewhere, oversized bows make their mark on otherwise demure shifts. The models’ heavily ringed eyeliner and effortlessly cool demeanors might lead lovers of the brand to believe the collection’s garments are inspired by a modern-day Margot Tenebaum as the the mini-frocks exude femininity, while their playful silhouettes and tactile fabrics invite excitement. Feathers and sequins adorn white delicate slips, whereas pearls adorn a frail chiffon dress. Louis Vuitton’s SS23 collection doesn’t neglect outerwear as sophisticated color-blocked camel and burgundy jackets arrive with functional quilted collars, while longline vests and leather jackets bear kitschy oversized cuffs.
