Louis Vuitton hosted a runway show in Miami last week: Here are some of the latest looks
Looking for colors to switch up things in your wardrobe in the next few months?
Don’t even think about it.
It’s Louis Vuitton’s world and we’re all just living in it.
According to the revered veteran French fashion house, the future, at least in the short term, is looking mighty monochromatic.
On Tuesday, LV presented its spring-summer collection at an invite only trunk show at the Pérez Art Museum Miami, where chairs were set up on an outdoor runway overlooking Biscayne Bay.
Want to be a style maven in the 305 during our hottest months? Safe to say if you have like 20 or so interchangeable black outfits you are good to go.
Yes, according to LV, all you need is a pair of short shorts; some tailored slacks; a slim cut jacket; cocktail dress; and a few crop tops (at least one with a Flashdance-style shoulder), and you’re good going into spring and summer.
The color du jour: Black, along with its paler sister, gray, along with their opposites, white, beige and cream. The only nonneutrals we spotted on the stunning strutters were muted orange, a royal blue and kelly green.
Head designer/artistic director Nicolas Ghesquière also brought zippers and snaps into play, as well as slick raincoats and flat heeled combat boots (we believe the bulky footwear was just for dramatic effects and the models’ comfort as we would literally melt in those suckers come July).
“The collection is a stylistic exercise that reevaluates the proportions of clothing and accessories, unsettling the codes of femininity,” explains a release on the trunk show. “Each piece highlights the details and honors the DNA of the house with references like locks, clasps and trunk corner pieces — all custodians of a narrative that endures.”
Translation: The outfits were cool as all all get-out, and anyone who was at PAMM hopefully felt fortunate to witness such awesomeness in our midst. Guests included artist Romero Britto, model Isabela Grutman and Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy.
Really, now. This very same fashion show was originally unveiled at last October’s Paris Fashion Week at the Cour Carrée (a fancy courtyard meaning “Square Court”) at the Louvre.
Do we have style cred or what? No wonder folks are still moving down here in droves and forcing locals to move to the outer realms of Kendall.
Oh, last thing. If you want to emulate the styles, you can shop for the ready to wear duds at your local LV store or online. Let’s hope the inflation bug didn’t affect you too dearly. Most items seen in this trunk show start around the $750 mark and go up, way up.
