LOUIS VUITTON S/S 15












































Kim Jones, lead designer for the menswear branch of Louis Vuitton studied at Central Saint Martins during his early years. He was taught by the late Louise Wilson, his professor at the time, who has sadly died. But, before her death, she told him to visit India and gain inspiration. Thus, he did and this collection was dedicated to her. Jones began this season with inspiration from the body guards in India and their militarist uniform, for example strong suede jumpsuits, or razor-sharp tailoring on jackets. Naturally, military tones were born into this collection, using khakis and oranges. 

A really clean collection from Kim Jones this season, this was definitely something I was expecting. Smart, sophisticated outfits, with a personal and meaningful under-layer. The classic Louis Vuitton suitcase made an appearance, only this time without the famous print. Coincidently, the maharajas of Jodhpur and Jaipur were big Vuitton customers in the twenties. I like it, there's clearly something for the consumers, as well as something personal to Kim himself.


What did you think of this collection?
