What do a giraffe, a flapper and a geisha have in common? Louis Vuitton, my friends. The Spring 2011 Fashion Week show was spectacular, with strong fall colors--deep teal and purple, vibrant yellow and orange, and autumn maroon--as well as light-catching, shimmering materials. What I really appreciate about this collection is how entertaining and eclectic it is. The pieces range in inspiration, from sleek and festive flapper dresses to structured kimono tailoring and safari images and patterns. As each model sauntered down the runway, I could place her in a specific setting--a story for each look.
I haven't found a show so exhilarating in a while, and I have to admit that I'm pretty relieved. I've been growing a bit tired of the return to 1950s silhouettes, but this was fresh and lively. Not a dull moment found at Louis V this year, that's for sure. Take a look at the runway images in the New York Times Fashion & Style section.
