We would like to know what year Nicolas Ghesquière is living in because it certainly isn’t 2026. If anything, Louis Vuitton’s SS27 outing at PFW is really showing that he’s invested—and optimistic!—about the future.

He’s putting in the work to get there, too. As part of Louis Vuitton’s Regeneration 2030 roadmap, 83% of the materials used for the show’s scenography were rented, while 95% will be reused or recycled. Set elements are headed for new lives in art and agriculture. The hovering concept cars within the Cour Carrée du Louvre push the fantasy even further, imagining travel beyond the paths already taken.

What a trip! His S/S27 patterns send the eye down a rabbit hole, with shapes morphing across the body. Every stride the models take rearranges what we thought we just saw. It’s a geometric dance worthy of the name “Ergonomie,” made possible by ultralight fabrics and fluid constructions.

Of course, Louis Vuitton packed the house for the occasion. Zendaya, LISA, Felix, Sophie Turner, Saoirse Ronan, Emma Stone, Ana de Armas, Daniela Avanzini, and Yoonchae of KATSEYE were all there for the ride.

Nicolas Ghesquière is in a flow state. More than a decade into his tenure at Louis Vuitton, he still wants us to believe in a better future. And he’s building it, one pattern at a time.
