<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px;">If the fact that Kim Jones both starred in and styled her own cover shoot for L'Officiel Philippines'<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px;"> March 2023 issue isn't enough evidence to prove she's a multi-hyphenate, then what is? <span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px;">"What I like is intensity," Jones muses. "I like feeling things and distilling things into a really pure, potent form."

As if echoing her sentiment, the Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2023 collection changes the play of feminine proportions, using emphasis as of a figure of style, where the infinitely large and infinitely small come together in one silhouette. The brand&rsquo;s signatures take on a disproportionate quality, becoming integral to the collection&rsquo;s narrative. Finding this new balance in scale, zippers and snaps are outsized, clasps become belt buckles, and a scrap of leather is turned into an outfit.

Zooming in on elements of a woman&rsquo;s wardrobe, proportions and scales are reinvented, creating silhouettes where the details reign over. Belts printed using 3D technology take on a trompe l&rsquo;oeil effect, while folds of a kilt are enlarged and become unique, playful pleated dresses. Nicolas Ghesqui&egrave;re also uses embroidery that simulates a macro tweed, created using a 3D scanner and blowing up each image to highlight every thread and its texture. Using emphasis as a figure of style, bags take on disproportionate details, while others are recreated with dramatic proportions.
