In “Game On”, Nicolas Ghesquière takes us on a personal voyage through past, present, and future

The Cruise season is typically characterised by breezy holiday wear tailored for the glamorous jet-set lifestyle, presented via spectacular shows staged in far-flung locations. But for Louis Vuitton&rsquo;s Cruise 2021 collection, in light of the ongoing global crisis and consequent restrictions, Nicolas Ghesqui&egrave;re decided to take viewers on a voyage of a different kind &mdash;&nbsp;a departure inwards, and a personal journey through his past, present, and possibilities for the future.

&ldquo;I looked somewhere that has been calling out to me for a long time, somewhere I hadn&rsquo;t taken the time to go back to,&rdquo; says the artistic director. &ldquo;To uncover one inspiration after another. This is an exploration of my creative identity.

The result is Game On, a whimsical adventure in escapism, where Monogram flowers mingle with playing card motifs and graphic stripes in every scale on creations perhaps best described as homewear gone high fashion.

Romantic &rsquo;80s blousons and frothy rococo collars go hand in hand with cargo pants and cuffed loose trousers, while sharp-shouldered jackets are juxtaposed with leggings and belted chemisiers with fluid maxi dresses. Footwear runs the gamut from pointy-toed pumps to lace-up boots to the Maison&rsquo;s iconic Archlight sneakers, while classic leather goods silhouettes such as the Speedy, Twist, Petite Malle, and Vanity are reimagined with boldly-hued diamond, heart, spade and club accents.

Underscoring the everyday vibe of the&nbsp;collection, the lookbook was shot in Ghesqui&egrave;re&rsquo;s studio at the Maison&rsquo;s headquarters in Paris, in which models are seen posing alongside office supplies and general work paraphernalia, including a photocopier, a chair, a dustbin, and a ladder. At a time when most of us continue to work from home and even the office has become an exotic destination, Louis Vuitton&rsquo;s latest proposal feels like a heartwarming glimpse into a post-pandemic future.
