PARIS FASHION WEEK: LOUIS VUITTON COLLECTION FALL/WINTER 2008/2009 MENSWEAR RUNWAY REVIEW

by Kid A on January 19, 2008

For Fall/Winter 2008-09 the Louis Vuitton collection delved into an exploration of it’s masculine side.

Marc Jacobs and his right-hand man for menswear Paul Helbers took inspiration for the collection from 60′s robbery movies.

Elegant and sleek men in slim fitting jackets and straight leg trousers came down the runway in untied ties hanging around their neck as if they didn’t have the time to finish dressing after changing outfits from their latest heist. Some models even paraded in crash helmets adding to the humour.

Even the color palette was inspired from old bank notes. Speaking of which, we wonder if that was cash stuffed in those bags. Probably not, but expect them to do well at retail as their Damier Graphite look is just the latest take on L.V’s iconic print.

We may have to get Danny Ocean and his boys to perform a heist for us to get our hands on those beautiful Damier Graphite print bags.

Hi! would you happen to know what model is that bag from the last photo? i know its from the latest Damier Graphite but what model? a carryall?

It is the smaller version of their carryall
they did for the show. It could be used as an overnighter or a larger
briefcase.
