There’s something magical about a Louis Vuitton show. It’s not just about the clothes, it’s about the atmosphere, the storytelling, the way it makes you feel. On 23 May 2025, under the warm Parisian sky at the iconic Cour Carrée du Louvre, Louis Vuitton’s Spring, Summer 2025 runway transported guests through time, mixing echoes of history with bold visions of the future.
Creative director Nicolas Ghesquière knows how to captivate. With each collection, he doesn’t just design garments, he builds a world. And this time, that world was quite literally built on history. The runway was made from over a thousand of Louis Vuitton’s iconic trunks, a subtle yet powerful nod to the brand’s roots in travel and craftsmanship. Surrounding the space were mirrored structures, reflecting the grandeur of the Louvre and the collection itself, creating a surreal, dreamlike setting.
A Beautiful Clash of Eras
What walked the runway was a beautiful contradiction. Think 18th century doublets with strong shoulders paired with biker shorts. There were breeches, ruffles, bubble skirts and polo dresses with clashing prints, all playing in the same space and somehow working together effortlessly. This collection wasn’t about minimalism, it was about embracing drama, playfulness and bold expression.
One standout piece, a trapezoid shaped minidress anchored by just one pant leg, drew gasps and flashes from the crowd. It was daring, unexpected and strangely elegant. Ghesquière took risks, and they paid off. The clothes told stories, each piece feeling like a chapter from a fashion fairytale.
Details That Steal the Spotlight
Of course, it wouldn’t be a Louis Vuitton show without jaw dropping accessories. Statement necklaces made a comeback, oversized and unapologetically bold. Then there were the shoes, not your average stilettos. Ghesquière introduced a leather motorcycle inspired heel, square toed and fierce, blending elegance with a tough, industrial edge.
Handbags carried a similar energy. Some leaned into the brand’s heritage, others felt like something from the future. It was a perfect reflection of the show’s theme, looking back to move forward.
A Guest List That Sparkled
The front row was just as captivating as the runway. A list celebrities like Zendaya, Cate Blanchett, the Haim sisters and Blackpink’s Lisa added an extra layer of glamour to the evening. Their presence wasn’t just for show, it highlighted Louis Vuitton’s cultural relevance and its ability to connect with audiences across different generations and continents.
A Fashion Moment to Remember
This wasn’t just another fashion show. It was a love letter to Louis Vuitton’s past, a celebration of the present and a leap into the unknown. Ghesquière didn’t play it safe, and thank goodness for that. What we saw was fashion that felt alive, full of movement, contradiction and soul.
For those watching from afar, it was a reminder that luxury fashion isn’t just about trends. It’s about vision, storytelling and creating something unforgettable. Louis Vuitton’s Spring, Summer 2025 show was exactly that, unforgettable.
