Louis Vuitton Closes Paris Fashion Week by Turning the Louvre Into an Airport Runway
Nicolas Ghesquière's "Ergonomie" collection sent featherlight, second-skin dressing past frozen shuttles in the Cour Carrée, while Zendaya calmly rewore a bolero she had already debuted three months earlier.
Louis Vuitton closed out Paris Fashion Week on Tuesday with a spring 2027 collection built around aviation and retro-futurism, sending models past frozen shuttles staged in the Louvre's Cour Carrée in a grey, silver, and yellow palette that read more like an airport runway than a catwalk. Designer Nicolas Ghesquière called the collection "Ergonomie," built on the idea that, as he put it, "the fabric would become a second skin, as light as possible," with climate in mind as much as silhouette.
The clothes followed through on the brief: featherlight, mesh-composite dresses with a texture closer to cigarette paper, sixties-cut straight dresses scattered with reflective paper diamonds, monogrammed aviator jackets, and loafers standing in as the show's default shoe. Bag sizes were noticeably scaled down, a small but deliberate signal aimed at a broader, less logo-hungry customer. "Nothing is rigid, everything is fluid, like a second skin that reveals the body's physicality in motion," Ghesquière said of the overall approach.
Zendaya sat front row alongside Emma Stone, Catherine Deneuve, and Jennifer Connelly, having already made her own quiet statement by rewearing a Louis Vuitton bolero from her "The Odyssey" press tour three months earlier, restyled with straight-leg jeans instead of the original look. It is the kind of move stylists love to call intentional, and in a show otherwise obsessed with lightness and motion, a famous person simply wearing something twice felt like the most honest idea in the room.
