- Louis Vuitton Presents its Men's Fall-Winter 2023 Collection
Louis Vuitton's Men’s Fall-Winter 2023 Show and Collection is here. In collaboration with KidSuper’s Colm Dillane, this collection was inspired by the formative moments of upbringing and the rites of passage from childhood to adulthood. The looks draw on themes inherent to Louis Vuitton men’s practice: formative development and the universal human experiences that unite us across geography and cultures. Evaluating the impact of the digital age, nods to connectivity are further explored through techniques, motifs, and silhouettes. The show featured a moving performance by artist Rosalía, her innovative musical fusions and distinctive style heightening the core philosophy of the collection. The show's stage was based on the ideology of “growing up”, and French filmmakers Michel and Olivier Gondry constructed a house in which a boy’s first stages of life unfolded, culminating in adulthood, where memories and experiences of the inner child remain eternally present.
