Emma Stone, Sophie Turner, Joe Jonas, Jennifer Connelly, Julianne Moore and more Oscar-winning celebs graced the front row of the luxury brand’s fashion show

Ghesquière’s deft styling had models sporting unexpected, mismatched looks, including ensembles appearing as though they’d been pulled out of a parent’s vintage wardrobe

From the dizzying heights of the Pompidou Center to the lofty halls of the Musée d’Orsay, Paris fashion houses showed off the city’s most monumental art museums on Monday, March 7, as they near the finish line of ready-to-wear collections.

Guests watched as vibrant autumn/winter styles snaked in between marble sculptures, avant-garde installations and Oscar-winning celebrities on the season’s penultimate day.

It was the wilderness of adolescence inspiring Monday’s show by Louis Vuitton – a vibrant ode to romanticism, or the fleeting moments of youth when character is forged for life.

Clashing, grumpy and vibrant looks cut fun, unexpected styles. At times it looked as if the model had grabbed whatever she had in her parents’ wardrobe – some new, some vintage – and put them together to create ensembles with strange, often oversized, trapeze silhouettes.

If it all sounds scruffy, it was not – held together by both creative director Nicolas Ghesquière’s deft styling, and his eye for balance in shape and bright colour. There was also more than a dose of humour and surrealism to the 48-strong display.
