Louis Vuitton Brings Soft Utility and Knitwear Elegance to Paris Fashion Week 2025

Louis Vuitton transformed the southern wing of the Louvre into a stage of quiet luxury for its Spring/Summer 2026 womenswear show on September 30, 2025.

Creative director Nicolas Ghesquière presented a collection centered on softness, serenity, and structure. Models walked in flat, slipper-like shoes that reinforced the ease of the season’s silhouettes: knit bermudas, silky pajama-style trousers, oversized cardigans with deep pockets, and robe-like coats. Some looks featured chunky scarves, while others daringly slipped off the shoulder, balancing coziness with allure.

The setting—a historic gallery once home to Anne of Austria—was refitted with Art Deco seating and 19th-century sculptures, grounding the collection’s modernity in centuries of French cultural richness.

Ghesquière explained his vision: “The atmosphere I wanted to share was serenity, the feeling you have at home.” That translated into a lineup where loungewear aesthetics met couture precision, underscoring a rising fashion movement that prioritizes comfort without sacrificing artistry.

The front row was equally star-studded: K-pop icon Lisa (posing alongside French First Lady Brigitte Macron), Felix, Zendaya, and Emma Stone all added glamour to the moment. Their presence reinforced Louis Vuitton’s dual role as both a house of tradition and a pulse-setting force in global culture.

This season, Ghesquière once again proved that simplicity can be radical—showing that in 2026, the future of Parisian chic lies in quiet confidence and fluid elegance.
