To the brand’s devotees, Louis Vuitton isn’t just a label—it’s a lifestyle. And that’s become only more the case lately as creative director Nicolas Ghesquière continues to push the house’s style in a more futuristic direction. One of Ghesquière’s longtime muses is Jennifer Connelly, who frequently sports Vuitton at awards shows and public appearances. But the actress doesn’t need a special occasion to pull out a choice piece. Heading out yesterday for a meeting, Connelly breezed through the Meatpacking District in a double-breasted mohair jacket from the Fall 2016 collection. Worn with an oversize monogrammed bag, cropped trousers, and slicked-back hair, Connelly’s eye-catching outerwear made for an ideal cold weather look.
With its red and navy color scheme, fuzzy fabric, and gold buttons, Connelly’s jacket isn’t your average winter coat, but its uniqueness makes the entire ensemble. Enlivening a chic but otherwise understated all-black outfit with an unexpected jolt of color and texture, the Vuitton piece proves the power that a single statement item can have. Even with cloudy skies and winter temperatures, all it takes is one great piece to turn a business meeting into a fashion moment.
