Gear up for exceptionally big and exaggerated elements as Creative Director Nicolas Ghesqui&egrave;re presents a larger-than-life collection.

As conversations on modern femininity are becoming more prevalent in today&rsquo;s society, Louis Vuitton joins this discourse by looking in from a lens of exorbitance and decadence. A surrealist and subversive take on the collection, zippers, buckles, clasps and labels have been magnified to highlight and spotlight the integral components of garment construction. 
We saw dresses and skirts reimagined with high collars and delicate bows, with feathers and sequins embellished on a flowy tulle dress, exuding a sense of elegance and femininity. The unexpected play of textures in the opening looks features voluptuous pleated tops and bottoms with pipped detailings, amplified with an enlarged zipper to make a statement. Prints of eyelet belts have also been blown up on a series of garments, emphasizing the juxtaposition of proportions in each.

Taking the collection up a notch, tactile fabrics like quilts and leather coats have also undergone the magnified transformation, featuring large lapels and buttons on the jackets. A more DIY and crafty approach has also been applied to the leather dresses and coordinates, with oversized utilitarian pockets and buckles plastered over the garments for the closing looks. Not forgetting, Ghesqui&egrave;re&rsquo;s sophisticated colour-blocking style that gives the collection a kitschy edge.

Extending the supersized treatment, accessories also take on a similar fashion with enhanced leather tags maximised into the dimensions of a bag now and the intensification of shoulder bags the size of an enormous clutch, punctuated with enlarged LV monograms.&nbsp;&nbsp;

To fully encapsulate the magnitude of the collection, this is the very first-time Ghesqui&egrave;re tapped a guest designer and gave carte blanche to create the scenography for the show. Centring around a pulsating &ldquo;monster-flower&rdquo;, it was designed by visual artist Philippe Parreno, who is recognised for his conceptual film works, sculptures and installations. 
He closely works alongside production designer James Chinlund to bring his artistic ideas to life. The heart of the showpiece was inspired by the great structures found in theme parks and travelling circuses, further enhanced by circular walkways, metal grills, mirrors and myriad lightbulbs to invoke a fairground scene.
