The GO-14 is both a commencement and a culmination – one of Nicolas Ghesquière’s first designs, its name refers to ‘Ghesquière October 2014’, the date it first appeared on the runway for the debut of the Women’s Artistic Director at Louis Vuitton.
Now the GO-14 re-emerges in full spirit, showcasing a unique feature that is an important part of the Maison’s history – malletage.
This refined crisscrossing design harks back to historical savoir-faire – it’s the pattern that pads the insides of trunks.
Nicolas Ghesquière rediscovered this Louis Vuitton innovation and featured it in his first collection, reawakening and revealing this invisible luxury:
“There are some universal codes that exist solely in Louis Vuitton,” he said. ‘It was about reappropriating and transposing them into a new setting.”
