Louis Vuitton F/W 2020.21 Paris

i like the looks in background than the actual collection......

There are actually some cool clothes here, which is something I noticed with other brands as well, Gucci included. But then they're styled so terribly that you barely notice them cause the mind is too busy comprehending whatever the hell is going on as a whole. Which is a shame, especially in LV's case because we never really get to see those clothes styled in any other way across editorials and campaign images.
If a skilled person got to play with this collection and rearrange the pieces, switch things up a bit and recycle some of the very unneccessary garments, this collection could've been great.
Whoever styled this needs to take a step back, look at their work here and ask some serious questions. Cause it's bad.

Looks like he is saying "I can do ski parkas and bombers too" in response to current Balenciaga

the styling is atrocious, i don't get it. Is it that i just don't get Nicolas work anymore or is it that the terrible over-styling gets in the way? either way, i haven't loved a collection of his in a long time and this might be one of his worst at LV

I miss the days when Nicolas had no theatrics, just the clothes and the models on the runway in his Balenciaga era. His LV has never gelled with me. I feel like structure and architectural-based design suits his technique more than this weird eccentricity he keeps pushing with LV. I probably sound like an old head with these opinions though. Maybe he is just having fun now.

What the f am I even saying? Watching this collection has me confused lol.

The styling is really killing these clothes for me

I agree. And frankly, I think re: missing the days of no theatrics on his part...I think you’re right. I miss those days, too, and I think all these big productions that he puts on for LV makes me realize he is not a showman like Marc or John or Lee or Karl...Nicolas shines when he is contained or working within boundaries and limitations, I think.

 

[dior_couture1245]

I also gotta say, he really needs to chill on color/print/material blocking every single item he designs....there’s not a single garment, bag, or shoe that’s allowed to breathe at his LV.

 

[disco54]

Its overwrought and stiff , in a season of a mature dark glamour, this seems sooo out of place and juvenile. I would say his protege Natacha Ramsay Levi has outdone him. Lot of these outfits look like outfits from Hot Topic

I’ve just seen the set and i thought there were Gucci collection at the history wall for a second.

Ugh, this is exactly how I feel. At first I thought he was pushing the boundaries of bad taste and I'd get into once it became less shocking, but it never did. Nicolas' Vuitton shows remain pretty hideous in my eyes and I am yet to see their influence trickle down to the mainstream wardrobe. I feel like his tenure is just one big hyped mess with paid celebrities and bought covers and no actual desire for these clothes among people. Maybe I'm wrong, I don't know.

This monstrosity looks like Louis Vuitton, Balenciaga, Balmain and Walmart had a child all at once. And the best thing? Apparently, this child was born in 2000s, because it looks just like that.

His earlier collections build on the concept of a wardrobe did trickle down to the street. The collection currently in stores is great but I don’t know if it will trickle down to the street...
I really don’t think the people who are buying Vuitton RTW cares about celebrities. Personally, I do not care about them. But after all, I’m not one of those people who can just buy a whole look. That’s what I love about Nicolas. He designs strong pieces that are strong on their own.

Marc’s clothes were produced in limited quantities, it sold well but it did not reall trickle down either. He gave good shows but the goal was to make people want to buy the classic monogram products or leather products. Nicolas is giving more food to eat...

His first collection for Vuitton certainly did Lola, I liked it a lot. But after that it all went downhill for me.

 

[Nomar]

What a mess. Some of the styling is just downright offensive and the casting does no favours either. This just looks like a collection of bad cosplayers.

 

[chinsumo]

Terrible. It’s so byzantine and pointless.

 

[YohjiAddict]

The outerwear is pretty much what all the french students wore at my college, it's all very down with the kids in concept but the cut certainly elevates it, they reminded me of the cool blazers he did for Balenciaga F/W 07.

The skirts were a tad too much, I like the silhouette but they're far too ornate and heavy to be casually styled with some parkas... The trousers would have been more believable.

More than aceptable even if a bit samey. Just a spark of his glory days is enough to keep me going, look 2 for example.

 

[GivenchyHomme]

Terrible. Who does he think he's trolling with those Balenciaga Spring 2006 dresses? Is he trying to remind us that he actually used to care more about design instead of a styling project? Or is he just flexing his position by putting out garbage knowing it will be praised regardless. It's Lazy and Arrogant. It's not ironic or intelligent, it's just plain ugly. The pants are unflattering, and that is on 5'10 models! Then they are styled with those sneakers. Sneakers! Really? In 2020! Are you kidding me?! The matador jackets are Cristobal Balenciaga 101. What. mess. It's going to take some real talent to break down this looks into a real wardrobe. Luckily LVMH is going to pay a pretty penny for head to toe advertorials and covers next season. I hate this. I hate the runway and I hate what will happen afterwards. I am not looking forward to seeing this next season.

 

[perfect blue]

I just say I look forward to Nicolas’ next chapter after LV. I was not a huge fan of his LV era though I supported him still

 

[TaylorBinque]

Styling is definitely a major disappointment. There are great pieces especially the jackets. Some of the silhouettes are way off though. I think being at LV, Nicolas really tries to go big and that also feeds into his ego. His work at Balenciaga was better because he has a precise frame, constraints and limitation that pushes him to focus and creativity flourished. But I will say though that his menswear do look great.
