Louis Vuitton Resort 2020

Art / Architecture / Design / Fashion

Following a precedence of extravagant sets, Nicolas Ghesquiere’s latest resort show for Louis Vuitton took place in New York’s JFK airport. More specifically, the show was located at a meticulously curated TWA Flight Center, designed by Eero Saarinen in 1962 and since transformed into a hotel. The building, much like Ghesquiere’s collection, balances the retro aesthetics of the past with a space-age glimpse of the future.


Posted October 20th, 2019 By Colby Mugrabi

The show was bookended by Louis Vuitton’s planned programming for the guests. An opening dinner at Waverly Inn featured embossed wine glasses and embroidered napkins with the LV logo. To get to the Flight Center, guests were ferried on a Louis Vuitton cruise, complete with custom crew uniforms and Louis Vuitton life rings. After the show, the programming concluded with an afterparty at MoMA PS1.

The collection itself paid homage to the New York of the past, present, and future. Black pants with yellow stripes and white dotted lines mimic the streets. More out-there statement pieces of leather, neon, and glitter remember New York’s famous club kid culture. Frequent use of exaggerated shoulders and big 80’s hair seem to reference 1980s corporate power dressing, while patterns and details speak to the city’s art deco architecture. The collection’s accessories like fingerless gloves and combat boots also speak to New York’s gritty past. On the other side, practical elements like pinstripe suits and bomber jackets are more accessible to the everyday woman’s wardrobe.

Ghesquiere expertly blends his knowledge of history with his creative hopes for the future in Louis Vuitton’s 2020 Resort collection. The use of the TWA Flight Center stays true to the company’s legacy rooted in travel, while also capturing Ghesquiere’s vision for a balance of future and past.
