While artistic director Nicolas Ghesquière was unable to have his packed runway show at the Louvre this season, it didn't stop him from using this historic setting as inspiration for the collection, specifically the museum's remarkable array of Greek, Etruscan and Roman sculptures.
Ghesquière also invites audiences to time travel through the collaborative designs featuring illustrations by Italian artist Fornasetti from its 13,0000-piece archive in Milan. The iconic Italian ceramic atelier is best known for surrealist drawings of mythic figures on plates. Models wearing futuristic gladiator boots strutted through the halls of the Louvre, with drawings of ancient statues are printed on luscious velvet dresses and fleece hoodies, oversized outerwear find Fornasetti images stamped in gold. A hint of of glittering tunics can be seen under boyish jackets or paired with tutus.
