Louis Vuitton closes Paris Fashion Week with flying cars and featherlight clothes
The show at the center of this season's heat-and-fashion story.
Nicolas Ghesquière showed Louis Vuitton's spring/summer 2027 collection, titled "ERGONOMIE," in the Louvre courtyard on October 6, the last day of Paris Fashion Week, on a set of flying cars painted in the brand's Damier check. The press notes describe design "fundamentally shaped by the conditions, capabilities, and movement of the human body," and SCMP describes a turn toward simplicity and lightness amid warming weather. It came days after President Macron made Ghesquière a knight of the Légion d'honneur.
Signal CheckRunway buzz, not yet in stores
How much is substance, and how much is paid or hype?
Spring/summer 2027 clothes won't reach stores for months, and celebrity front rows drive much of the coverage. What holds up beyond the buzz: the designer says hotter summers changed how he designs, which matches what retailers are telling Reuters about coat sales.
