French fashion house Louis Vuitton fused ruffles, biker-style leather and the graphic pop art of Keith Haring for its Cruise 2027 collection. The collection was presented at a star-studded show at a New York museum on Wednesday evening. Under the eyes of actresses Zendaya, Anne Hathaway and Cate Blanchett, Nicolas Ghesquière, the artistic director of LV’s women’s collection, unveiled a collection based on contrasts and explosions of color.
Structured leather jackets were paired with fluffy Medici collars. The ensembles shown were interspersed with the colors orange, pink and green typical of the Pop Art movement. At the same time, dark purple, powder pink and blue-green were also used.
The models wore metallic footwear, either heels or sneakers. Her legs were highlighted with boxer-style shorts, cycling shorts or tailored Bermuda suits. Hats – bucket hat style or brimless – topped off the outfits. Alternatively, the models’ hair was loose and featured horizontal strands. This look was popularized by figure skater Alysa Liu, the brand’s new ambassador.
The show took place at the Frick Collection. This was the first time the museum hosted a fashion event since its renovation last year. The art museum, a former steel magnate’s mansion, houses an impressive collection of European paintings and artworks dating back to the Renaissance. The models walked the catwalk under arches and past famous works of art.
“In the timeless halls of the Frick Collection, beauty and art transcend time in a silent dialogue,” LV posted on the social network Instagram. At the same time, the brand and the museum announced a three-year sponsorship partnership.
Louis Vuitton will finance three major special exhibitions. In addition, the fashion house will host free evenings for visitors outside of regular opening hours in the museum on the first Friday of every month for a year.
