Louis Vuitton brought Paris Fashion Week to a close with a scene straight out of a 1970s sci-fi movie. On Tuesday evening, Nicolas Ghesquière transformed the Louvre’s Cour Carrée into a retro-futuristic cityscape: the runway was designed like a racetrack, with windowless vehicles—bearing the brand’s signature Damier pattern and reminiscent of spaceships or futuristic taxis—hovering overhead. Just days earlier, President Emmanuel Macron had named the designer a Knight of the Legion of Honour at the Élysée Palace.
The Spring/Summer 2027 collection opened with a surprisingly quiet trio of all-white looks. Yellow accents were gradually introduced before glitter, silver embellishments, and a generous dose of sheen took center stage. Silver headpieces and close-fitting necklaces lent the ensemble a touch of “The Matrix” — futuristic, yet strikingly light. This very contrast defined the show: while the cuts became increasingly structured, the materials remained featherlight, allowing even bold silhouettes to dance in the breeze. Ghesquière opted for ultra-light fabrics designed for an increasingly warm world.
Front pockets and geometric shapes took center stage, with the latter appearing to overlap on the garments. Earth tones met a cool base palette—a blend that translates well to everyday wear, particularly for the transition from winter to spring. For the finale, shoulder cut-outs, voluminous swathes of fabric, and scarves billowed around the models, lending the looks an almost regal air. The handbags also remained understated; select models featured gold hardware shaped like the Monogram flower. Among the guests in the front row, Zendaya stood out in a white lace jacket paired with casual jeans. Over the course of nine days, 101 brands showcased their collections in Paris—kicking off with LVMH Prize winner Julie Kegels—while the final evening traditionally belonged to Louis Vuitton. The major fashion month has thus officially come to a close, ending on a note that blends the avant-garde with a sense of lightness.
