Voyage intérieur au défilé Femme Louis Vuitton Printemps-Été 2026

Présentée dans les appartements d’été d’Anne d’Autriche, au sein du musée du Louvre, la nouvelle collection de Nicolas Ghesquière pour Louis Vuitton célèbre l’art de vivre.

The set by Marie-Anne Derville is an immersion into French taste from the 18th century to the present day.

The silhouettes were presented in what were once the apartments of the Queen of France and mother of Louis XIV, accompanied by a soundtrack of Cate Blanchett reading the lyrics of This Must Be the Place by David Byrne of Talking Heads and music composed by Tanguy Destable. Words and music echoed an inventive subversion of an “indoor” wardrobe. The opening look set the tone with subtle transparency, a piece poised between dress and a robe that reveals the inner self. Lingerie detailing, slippers and dressing gowns are reimagined and repurposed to transcend their traditional roles. Soft hues from smoky gray to sky blue evoke a sense of calm. Graceful curves are emphasized in neo-turbans or bubble skirts. Ruffles whirl and fringes flutter with every movement.  

Femininity is redesigned through oversized collars and floral embroidery, celebrating boundless sartorial freedom and a certain stylistic liberation. Cloud-like sleeves and sculpted knits contrast with more structured cuts. Whether white shirt or nightshirt, public or private sphere, the intimacy of the collection is guided by one of the House’s cardinal principles: carrying one’s way of being wherever one travels. A reminder that the ultimate luxury is dressing for oneself and revealing one’s true personality.
