Louis Vuitton’s Pre-Fall 2020 collection embarks on a narrative journey where the garments tell their own tales. A meeting of periods, stylistic movements and anachronistic combinations bring to life a rich cast of costumes by Nicolas Ghesquiere.  Taking cultural references forward for instance Louis Vuitton has adorned one of the collection’s t-shirts with the original cover from William Peter Blatty’s 1971 cult science-fiction novel ‘The Exorcist.

To illustrate this collection – a term that works just as well with fashion as it does with literature or on the big screen – the House’s muses proudly take to book covers or film posters as protagonists, fitting perfectly into Louis Vuitton’s history and brilliantly embracing the role of adventurer.

Joining the protagonist list is Deepika Padukone. The Indian actor wears green boots, a signature waist wallet and dons an overcoat to top it off. Others in the list include celebrities Sophie Turner, Kelsey Asbille, Emma Roberts and Cody Fern to name a few.

The ‘wearable library’, promises an eclectic combination of stylistic rebellion and fine craftsmanship. An account of sportswear’s encounter with tailoring.
