For a vintage buyer, this Louis Vuitton collection was very special. Not only did it throw back to eras gone by, it WENT back
there. Beautifully tailored cir
cle skirts dominated this collection and the young, fresh and scrubbed clean look of the 1950's was reflected in every piece.
There was definitely another part of this collection that intrigued me. Curvy models, with breasts and hips filled out all of these beautiful pieces. Marc Jacobs has really taken those womanly features and made them part of Haute Couture again. Not that he is the first to do such a thing but from my point of view, he did more than just make a statement- he celebrated women and their features as a big part of this collection- and in turn, it made the collection truly
shine.
Louis Vuitton is bringing the classic, luxe that they are known for (but don't always stick to). This was a different interpretation of the Mad Men-esque 1950's revival but with a cute, innocent Parisian bounce. Freshly scrubbed make-up and vintage car coats, suits (matched or not), long leather gloves and low heels with large bows all made this collection perfectly innocent and fresh.
Although the real star of this show was the revival of the "Speedy". What would an LV show be about if it wasn't about the bags! Designed in the 1930's, the Speedy came back adorned with sequins, smothered in guipure lace over satin, or woven in metallic thread and done up in fox.
To Get the Look
Just come down to your favourite vintage store and joyfully play in the 1950's wear. Also, nail down a pair of long, elbow length leather gloves, et volia!
