Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2018 collection

Kim Jones showed his last collection for Louis Vuitton - Spring/Summer 2018. The show was staged in the stately setting of the Palais-Royal, but it might as well have been Bora Bora, judging by the hothouse atmosphere at the venue. The new Spring/Summer 2018 collection shows off bright shades of blue, orange, yellow, red and green alongside more muted colors like black, white, grey and tan.

Mohair jackets came in two shades, as if spliced together from separate halves, echoing the new Monogram Split style bags, which combined colorways of the house’s iconic patterned canvas.

Suits and pants in a palette of blue and earth tones contrasted with prints of exotic blooms. They appeared on classic Aloha shirts overlaid with printed organza variations to give them a liquid veneer, and on tops like an oversized knitted T-shirt printed with a tropicana-style Louis Vuitton logo.

So Jones is watched and revered as a cult figure. Inside fashion circles, he’s also rated for the deft way he can nail a broad-strokes idea that most men will get—the Hawaiian shirt is okay again, guys! - while also having a super-sophisticated hand with fluid tailoring, convincing proportions, and advanced fabric techniques.
