What To Get From Louis Vuitton's Spring/Summer 2023 Collection
Creative director Nicolas Ghesquiere said go big or go home in every way possible.
Nicolas Ghesquiere focused on playing with proportions in his Spring/Summer 2023 outing for Louis Vuitton. That approach extended to show set which featured a massive flower-shaped dome in the Cour Carree courtyard of the Louvre Palace, designed by contemporary French artist and friend of Ghesquiere, Philippe Parreno.
The zipper is one of the key elements of the Spring/Summer 2023 collection at Louis Vuitton
On the runway, it was all about supersizing details one would often overlook; dramatising proportions and silhouettes. Puffed up collars, leather suits with an 3D belt graphic and huge belt buckles were reoccurring motifs in the show. Meanwhile, dainty chiffon dresses were dotted with pearls, sequins or feathers and paired with knee-high chunky boots. Ghesquiere also presented a selection of accessories like a house-shaped bag and crossbody bag mimicking a nametag that were also dramatically resized.
Below, a list of buys to add to your cart from the collection, which is now out in stores.
This Capuciness bag is covered in colourful glossy strips of canvas that have been woven together like a basket.
The plush embossed leather body and tortoise resin chain on this Coussin (meaning 'cushion' in French) is inspired by the leather seats and woodwork found in vintage cars from the '70s respectively.
Based on Louis Vuitton's historic S-Lock invented by his son Georges Vuitton, the S-Lock XL top handle bag is decorated with gold-tone hardware (similar to the ones on the original lock) and comes with a detachable handle and attachable shoulder strap.
If it looks like this bag is a blown-up version of Louis Vuitton's signature key bell, you're right. The Key Bell XL is crafted in cowhide leather, trimmed with a butter yellow stitching and comes with an adjustable strap.
To mark the fifth year of Louis Vuitton's popular Archlight sneakers, the brand has released the Archlight 2.0, which feature more experimental variations of the shoes, including this boot-sneakers hybrid.
The gold trimming on the lens of this pair of sunglasses give your shades a much needed touch of glamour.
This chain necklace, adorned with a multitude of crystals and medallions, is proof that more can be more sometimes.
The quilted silk lapels, burgundy leather panels and cuffs, and oversized buttons on the pockets add texture and character to this tuxedo jacket.
No, this dress is not made from leather – it's actually made from delicate double silk georgette and faux leather inserts that give the dress a vinyl glossy effect. The large zipper fastening and puffy pockets give the dress some drama and a utilitarian feel respectively.
The flared shape of this halter neck top harks back to the brand's Noe bucket bag; also note the belt detail along the hemline of this calfskin leather piece.
