Louis Vuitton’s highly-anticipated cruise collection has officially made its grand entrance at the iconic TWA Flight Center located in New York’s JFK Airport. The setting, designed by renowned architect Eero Saarinen in 1962 to resemble a soaring bird during the exciting Jet Age, provided the perfect backdrop for a mesmerizing display of in-flight inspired fashion.
The runway show was a visual feast for fashion enthusiasts, with models striding confidently to the powerful melody of “Liberi Fatali” by Nobuo Uematsu. The collection featured a striking array of strong, feminine looks showcasing sleek jewel-toned jackets, patent leather ensembles, and geometric capes that exuded sophistication and modernity. Complemented by edgy accessories such as combat boots, sunglasses, and aviator caps, each outfit was a statement in itself that captivated attendees including A-list celebrities like Julianne Moore and Cate Blanchett.
Creative genius Nicolas Ghesquière handpicked the TWA Flight Center as the venue for this exclusive show, citing his deep connection to the space and its impending transformation into the TWA Hotel by visionary hotelier Tyler Morse. Ghesquière’s sentimentality towards the historical significance of the location added a layer of nostalgia and reverence to the event, underscoring Louis Vuitton’s commitment to honoring American heritage.
