Paris Fashion Week: Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 2013

by thesouthernmostgentleman

Style Director, Kim Jones, continues to direct the french fashion house that is Louis Vuitton, to excellency. Grasping onto the inspiration from a trip to Bhutan and Nepal, the fall/winter 2013 collection showcases impeccable outerwear, lustrous shoes, gentleman bags, and trendy eyewear. The collection introduced classic fundamentals, but really exhilarated to the highest of levels. The whole show was really quite remarkable. It was much more than a collection, it was a journey; a mountaineering journey to the highest of highs.

One trend that I have been noticing for fall/winter 2013 is the subtle use of animal prints, and Louis Vuitton is keeping with that trend: From the subtle print of leopard, to the animalistic fur accented parka hoods, to the factual “moggy” sweater graphic print, that animal theme ran strong among the collection, but with subtlety. All in all, Louis Vuitton delivered without fault, with elegance and prominent refinement. Please enjoy a selection of images from the collection, detailed below.
