Luxury. The new collection of Louis Vuitton cannot be understood without this word. It is the word that unites and binds each of its garments. The season 2012/2013 Fall-Winter Menswear clearly has two references as inspiration: Antonio Lopez and Paris of the 70. A glamorous Paris, at the top of the summit, eager to show the world their style, their power and money through the clothes they dressed back then.
That is why this collection is far from the most exotic themes and back to the roots that led him to be who he is today: a brand directed and designed by and for those who can afford it, in clothes that reflect the elegance and dress know their carriers. Welcome to the Louis Vuitton Kim Jones.
