The most popular luxury fashion house on the planet never really flaunted the year of its foundation in its merchandise, but that’s about to change. Louis Vuitton is about to release a elaborate capsule collection with the year 1854 prominently featured, but that’s not all, the global release on Fri – Sep 25 also comes with a new jacquard monogram pattern reinterpreted by creative director Nicolas Ghesquière who found inspiration in 1960s wallpapers. Aptly entitled Since 1854, it’s a quirky, retro-infused update which will resonate well with older and younger Louis Vuitton aficionados given the well-balanced offerings and their visual alignment with the vintage trend in fashion. The jacquard fabric is available in dark grey and bordeaux, captured by 56 coveted items for both women and men, ranging from a mini dress and bags, to hats, shawls and footwear. The Louis Vuitton Since 1854 capsule collection will be available at the brand’s stores worldwide, but also online.
Publishers Note
Just to be clear – superfuture® is a design blog and not a political commentator. No surprise there. The scope of our content has always been global and borderless, however that can often mean covering projects in countries where we will not agree with the politics or actions of those countries. In a world that’s as screwed up as ever right now, the focus of our support is to those designers, architects and other creatives who aim to make the world a more liveable one – as opposed to people that try their hardest to destroy it. So if a project hits our desk and we like it based on its design credentials, we may choose to publish regardless of its location or creators nationality. superfuture® has always been inclusive and hopes for all current wars, aggression, violence, hate and extremism to end.
