Back in April, Nicolas Ghesquière staged his Louis Vuitton Pre-Fall 2024 collection in Shanghai inside the Long Museum located within the West Bund district of China’s second largest city. The show marked the first under Louis Vuitton’s Voyager Show format (collections unveiled across the globe and paying homage to local setting and culture). The revered French designer’s collection was very much a celebration of youth and coming-of-age. Ghesquière collaborated with artist Sun Yitian for the occasion, with the Beijing-born painter’s animated paintings splashed throughout the 57-look lineup.
Now, it’s time to shop the collection. From a sporty color-block pullover drawing inspiration from an archival design and a pleated circle skirt crafted from calfskin leather to a Nano Speedy adorned with a patch of a cute black and white dog and a pair of Trinty ankle boots in glazed leather – scroll further for theFashionSpot’s top picks from the Louis Vuitton Pre-Fall 2024 collection:
