Louis Vuitton cruise 2025 ready-to-wear runway, fashion show & collection review: Nicolas Ghesquière's Spanish-flavored collection zoomed between ‘80s couture references and equestrian touches.
Louis Vuitton designer Nicolas Ghesquière typically selects an architectural masterpiece as the backdrop for his resort collections, and Barcelona’s Park Güell, the fairy-tale park designed by modernist architect Antoni Gaudi, ticked all the boxes for his cruise 2025 show.
“It’s huge and it’s spectacular,” said Cynthia Erivo. “All the shapes and the sculptures on the rooftops are wild and whimsical. It’s really, really beautiful.”“It’s really special because you get to see what has inspired the pieces that will come down the runway, and combining sculpture and structure with pieces that are usually structural feels really inspired. It feels really ‘kismet.’ I like the combination of a place and a piece together,” she said.
Ghesquière gave the collection a distinct Spanish flavor, with a “sombra y sol” palette that played out in monochrome silhouettes, many topped with graphic sombrero hats. He sprinkled flamenco-inspired polka dots and glossy fringe into his signature architectural looks, but steered well clear of pastiche.
Think Barcelona’s gilded youth heading to a black-tie party circa 1986. Ghesquière played with that era’s exaggerated volumes with jewel-colored satin pouf dresses and tiered puffball skirts. Jodhpurs came with flouncy draped hips, while metallic floral embroideries echoed Gaudi’s swirling organic designs.
