LouisVuittonwomenswear designer Nicolas Ghesquiere showed his spring/summer 2026 collection in a southern wing of theLouvreMuseum, where models clad in flat, slipper-like shoes paradedsoftknits, silky pyjama-like trousers and loose bermudas.
“The atmosphere I was wishing to share with you was really this serenity that you can feel when you are in the comfort of your home,” Ghesquiere told journalists after the show.
Models paraded through what used to be the summer apartments of Anne of Austria, Queen of France, refitted with Art Deco seats and 19th century sculptures.
They wore knit bermudas, cardigans with deep pockets, and robe-like coats, some with chunky scarves, others baring a shoulder – or two.
Front row guests included K-pop stars Lisa, who posed with French first lady Brigitte Macron for photos before the show, and Felix, as well as actors Zendaya and Emma Stone.
Ghesquiere, who has helmed women’s designs at the LVMH-ownedLVMH.PAlabel since 2013, is one of a handful of designers to remain in place amid a broadcreative resetsweeping across the sector.
Paris Fashion Week, which runs through October 7, will featuredesign debutsfrom labels including Chanel, Balenciaga and Loewe.
