Nicolas Ghesquière brings together the two dimensions – space and time – in the Louis Vuitton Fall-Winter 2021-22 collection to transform time into a place, that is, something immaterial into a physical thing. The collaboration with the world of Piero Fornasetti allows Nicolas Ghesquière to analyze the relationship between myth, classicism and imagination.
The collection parades at the Musée du Louvre but not in the usual structure that the Maison has built for years in the Cour Carrée, but inside, in the Galerie Michelangelo (the section of Italian sculpture) and in the Galerie Daru (where Greek and Roman sculptures are exhibited including the unsurpassed Borghese Gladiator) up to the conclusion of the “walkway” at the foot of the staircase of the Denon wing where the Nike of Samothrace dominates, thus managing to construct references that form a dialogue with time, with the past, with the modification that time imprints on things. And with history.
