Nicolas Ghesquière, the artistic director of Louis Vuitton  women’s collections,  has masterfully recreated the poetic charm of rail travel for Fall/Winter 2025.

 

He has achieved this by using L’Étoile du Nord, as the setting for his latest show.

 

“The initial inspiration was the train station and its powerful symbolism,” explains Ghesquière

 

“It conjures up so many cinematic moments, from Some Like It Hot to 2046, from Casablanca to Snowpiercer”.

 

Within this station, the show unfolds like a timeless narrative, weaving together embraces, farewells, and new adventures.

The legacy of travel in Louis Vuitton’s DNA

The connection between Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 2025 and the world of travel is deeply rooted in the brand’s heritage. 

 

Since its founding in 1854, Louis Vuitton has revolutionized luggage design, adapting to the evolving needs of travelers.

 

Vuitton himself, trained as a trunk maker, foresaw how railway expansion would transform the way people moved.

A collection that merges nostalgia and modernity

For this season, Ghesquière translates the emotions of travel into a collection that harmonizes vintage elegance with futuristic innovation.

 

Flowing lines meet structured volumes, evoking the refined silhouettes of travelers from the past, while modern materials and bold accents propel the designs into the future.

 

A standout in the collection is the Express bag, an evolution of the iconic Keepall.

 

This new model reflects the soft curves and delicate hues of classic travel accessories, bringing an element of effortless sophistication to the Louis Vuitton universe.

A sonic tribute to travel: Louis Vuitton x Kraftwerk

Adding another layer to the theme of movement and exploration, Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 2025 pays tribute to Kraftwerk, the pioneering electronic music group.

 

Their album Trans-Europe Express, which captures the essence of European travel, serves as a major source of inspiration for the collection.

 

“It was a natural choice,” says Ghesquière. “Kraftwerk’s music, their aesthetic, and their futuristic vision have always reflected the spirit of travel.”

 

“And of course, the album title itself is a tribute to European voyagers,”  explains. The album cover is featured on garments and accessories, transforming each look into an ode to the cultural and artistic journey of travelers across generations.
