In an effort to capture Louis Vuitton’s essence of travel, Nicolas Ghesquière took the fashion crowd to Barcelona (the vibrant capital of Spain’s Catalonia region) to introduce his Cruise 2025 collection. Several Vuitton brand ambassadors (including Ana de Armas, Sophie Turner, and Lous and the Yakuza) graced the front row, witnessing the French designer’s milestone tenth cruise collection as creative director. Ghesquière chose to unveil his latest creations within Barcelona’s stunning Park Güell. Set against the mesmerizing backdrop of the Hypostyle Room (designed by Antoni Gaudi), the architectural marvel provided the ideal setting for Ghesquière’s futuristic interpretation of resort wear, featuring sharp tailoring and voluminous silhouettes that exuded an 80s-inspired vibe. Infused with bold Spanish elements, the collection was complemented by striking accessories like sculptural earrings, brooches, and wide-brimmed Andalusian hats.
Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:
“I think Nicolas is probably the only creative director of a major fashion house who is having such a strong POV and vast imagination which allows him to bled his aesthetics into different meta-narratives. Great show, great accessories. He saved the day (again)!” [Olaffo]
“I enjoyed it a lot! It was excess, very much close to the 80s. You can sense the Spanish references being mixed up with NG’s taste. For me, Ghesquière really managed to establish a precise silhouette for the LV women and just playing with fabrics, colors etc now and I love it: a real exercise of style.” [GivenchyAddict]
“I really enjoyed it. Not as precise and directional as the recent Shanghai show, but still miles ahead compared to what else is out there.” [j02215]
“Fantastic soundtrack! I love the dramatic allure of the opening looks, very Serge Lutens meets Carmen Sandiego. I loved the oversized blouson dress in ostrich, the little black sleeveless dress that came after with the dramatic collar, the simple black jumpsuit and the B&W look after. Very simple, fluid and timeless.” [Lola701]
“This was so disappointing, to be honest. I had high expectations when I saw the location being announced, and expected a lot more color and vibrancy given that it was being shown in an environment designed by Gaudi. Why was it so monotone? Also when will his obsession with the 80s be over? It’s getting so repetitive and boring at this point.” [Frederic01]
“The show was acceptable but too heavy sometimes. I wish we could see a lighter Ghesquière, less 80s inspired.” [Creative]
