It wasn’t just French designers who favoured the beret as a fashionable head topper for autumn/winter 15-16. There were raspberry berets at Gucci, blue berets at Luisa Beccaria and black berets studded with hardware at Marc for Marc Jacobs.

A collection is like a travel diary. It’s an open-ended journey into the world that reflects the daring paths of the spirit, says Nicolas Ghesquiere creative director of Louis Vuitton.

He describes his autumn/winter 15-16 collection for Louis Vuitton is a sentimental adventure made of scattered inspirations and great aspirations. And it has only one means of locomotion – intuition.

We love where Ghesquiere’s intuition has led, producing what is perhaps his most beautiful collection to date for Louis Vuitton since he took over the reigns in November 2013.

“The intuition of a garment and the way it’s orchestrated are the key to style,” says Ghesquiere. “Understanding the excellence of a basic – the better to take it somewhere singularly imaginative – will always be the best path. This collection is a proposition of style, an invitation on a journey about finding the momentum to transcend what we know so well in order to take it toward something we’d like to discover.”
