HIGHLIGHT: Louis Vuitton Men's




























This is designer Kim Jones' second collection for the house and for me, the best collection of the season. The designer dubbed his collection, "a Tale of Two Cities", those being two fashion capitals, Tokyo and Paris! The house seemed to be inspired by Japanese art  at several different levels, this translated into the inclusion of some kimonos. The kimonos were placed under the suit jackets, mimicking a v-neck sweater with a twist. Talk about original? It looked great!

Jones put a modern day twist that was understated on a classic elegant man. The designer really focused on the fundamental of the house: luxury. There were materials from all over silks from the far east, kangaroo fur, crocodile.. you name it. This collection was just amazing start to finish. From the great cable knit sweaters, the modern twist on the suit, the scarves, the fur, the outerwear, it all just worked! 

A a great sophomore work by Kim Jones, can't wait to see the next one!
