Louis Vuitton Debuts Its Cruise 2024 Runway Collection
In Barcelona at Park Güell, an architectural gift to the world filled with gardens and vibrant colors held the Louis Vuitton Cruise 2025 runway show. Elegant suits, bold shoulder pants, and wide-brim hats filled the runway. Tones of gray, beige, and black were included in the collection, a departure from a Cruise show’s usually bright colors and bold prints. Fabrics like leather, lace, and mesh were also featured on draped long gowns and 3D floral applique dresses. A futuristic element was played within this collection through a black leather minidress with rectangular pockets and large shoulders with a dropped sleeve. Aside from the hats, sports sunglasses were worn by models with a colorful mirrored reflection. Fabrics were mixed like this look below with a raw hemline lace skirt and leather fringe on a satin blazer top. Cruise this season seems to be more about pushing the envelope when we think about fashion norms.
