New WAVE

Vanites / The Gallery

At Louis Vuitton's spring/summer 2021 show, innovation met history when in-person attendees filed into the freshly remodeled department store La Samaritaine, a study in Second Empire design, and took their seats next to 360-degree cameras that captured the experience for at-home viewers. In keeping with the collection's focus—and womenswear creative director Nicolas Ghesquiere's lifelong preoccupation—of playing with time, the iridescent leather Coussin bag is embossed with Vuitton's 125-year-old fleur-de-lis logo and features two interchangeable straps (the silver chain shown here and one in branded canvas), offering styling options for now or later.
