Louis Vuitton Resort 2020 New York

[Marc10]

When is he gonna move on from this tacky 80s look? It's so heavy and overworked.

 

[tatouejeremie]

is he being ironic here? i just don't get it, the girls look like clowns especially compared to him taking his bow looking like he shops at apc.
it feels backwards to me to make women look like ridiculous fashion victims, not empowering at all.

That's the feeling I get whenever I see Nicolas' LV or Galliano's Margiela. They are obviously clothes that are heavy on references, technique, research but there's just so much to take in, it gets confusing and overwhelming.

The simpler, tailored pieces like the pinstripe blazers or the trousers with the cutout hem are the only highlights here. Everything else looks like 80s clutter piled on top of each other, a perfect continuation from F/W.

What shocked me most though, is how LV ambassadors look like in the clothes. These are supposedly the people hired to make the products more desirable and appealing for real customers...clearly not the case here.

TBH, if I ever see someone in the street (other than MAS), wearing this outfit that effortlessly, i’ll be fan!
It’s daring, it’s different...Ugly but interesting.

More than that, it will show a taste maybe (was questionable as it can be)...Something that I think a lot of « luxury customers » don’t have any particular taste.

I actually find this appealing. It's a lot less ugly than so many of his past collections at Vuitton. There's a slight Blade Runner vibe to it for me which I will always love.

 

[Sensation]

His last few collections have been underwhelming. I hope he will turn it around next season.

 

[mepps]

So many looks, and almost nothing looks appealing.
Does Nicholas hate Jennifer Connelly now? A friend would ask her to wear such a hideous dress.

 

[orchidee]

They all look like Patrick Nagel illustrations and I'm not mad at it.

I obsessed about the FF soundtrack, and he always sort of playing with FF, like having Lighting in his LV ad. For the collection, they reminds me his Balenciaga around 2011 collections, quite dense and heavy. Some of the items are very desirable and the embodied details are truly amazing.

 

[mistress_f]

well this might be my fav collection of his in a long time, but that's not saying much.
LOVE the capes (especially the one in the first look. It's tacky, but it works for me), and some looks here and there, but it's still *too much* and messy

 

[Lax89]

What a heavy collection for Resort ! Enough with the 80's obsession. It's almost a caricature here
One look stood out for me for its simplicity yet chicness but the rest is a big no.

Edit : I took a second look. More than one look is good actually

 

[entten]

finally the first collection from him at lv that i love! loved the bladerunner styling.
i was also missing the old balenciaga nicholas, but somehow only now in this collection i see he is coming back,i can see more him now but of course in a different way.in his lv way. i likethat. styling and running order must be more on point.

 

[YohjiAddict]

My taste must be getting tackier because I really like Jennifer's dress posted in this thread. I love the way the ruffles frame her face and the floral print is just the right kind of cheesy, it kind of goes full circle back to being cool because it somehow looks like a costume from a sci-fi B movie that's become a cult classic.

I'll take this over Gucci any day, this clothes are really tricky but among the mess there are some outstanding pieces: The jacket that were paired with the poodle skirts are quite beautiful, the final dresses and the whole deco section are also strong points. I'd love to own that cropped bomber jacket, a garment that he's really made his own through the seasons. More neutral separates would do wonders to fight back that cloying business that makes it difficult to read this clothes.

Where is the resort in this, its sooo stuffy and costumey 80s music video . LV is turning into Balmain

 

[Deleted member 7575]

I don’t even know what to make of these clothes anymore.

They’re so tricky, so heavy, so complicated, so tacky...

He is a different designer than his Balenciaga heyday, and I can confidently say he is not a designer I like anymore. At all.

I pretty much agree with this word for word.

My theory is that the heavy handedness that we began to see at Balenciaga and that is now turned WAY up at LV is in part an effort to espouse the values of craftsmanship, finery, and various notions of the workshop, atelier, objects of extreme workmanship--all the kind of abstract notions of a particular kind of luxury that can really sell a handbag.

So in that sense, I can appreciate and even respect this stuff. Maybe even admire his boldness and audacity the same way I admire Anthony Vacarello's and the way I once upon a time admired Olivier Rousteing's.

But, the truth is, I hate these clothes. His best days were when Bouchra Jarrar was with him and they are long behind him.

 

[AD011620]

ouch, my eeeeeeyeeeees....

 

[Perickles]

Looks like if this was designed by Olivier Rousteing

 

[Fashionstuff]

There isn't a force in this world that can convince me that this is more than a pile of ugly, over-designed sh*t.

Well said. This is so tacky... horrible

 

[bennyboy]

Love this collection

 

[Erzébeth II]

Agree with the 'heavy' comments - it's distasteful to me as someone who dislikes seeing excessive makeup and attention seeking
