Walk the Walk: Louis Vuitton F/W 2014 Collection

Today marked a brand new page for Louis Vuitton, as Nicolas Ghesquière debuted his first LV collection in Paris. The LV girls in the first chapter of this new era were bolder, edgier and more powerful. Ghesquière created many completely wearable pieces, with a nice twist. Some of the examples were the knit skirt with feather panels, and the asymmetrical leather/ tweed dress. Petite Malle bag was introduced in this show and it was a mini LV trunk.

As a first collection, Nicolas Ghesquière did a very good job on creating the new LV girl. I believe this was just a warm up for the designer. The best is yet to come.

Pros:
- This collection opens a brand new page for Louis Vuitton, as the aesthetic of this collection is very different from the Marc Jacobs' era. The LV girls are bolder, edgier and more powerful.
- The big pocket on the skirt is a very nice design
- There are a a lot of metal accents in this collection, which is one of Nicolas' design signatures.
- I quite like the Petite Malle bag. It's a fun accessory piece.
- The boots and belts will be something nice to have next season.
- So glad to see Freja Beha Erichsen back on the runway! You have no idea how much I missed her!

Cons:
- There are actually a lot of ideas going on in this collection, maybe this is just a way for the designer to show the audience what kind of energy he is planning to inject to this fashion label.

Eye Candies:
- Wide collar leather coat
- Sweater with patchwork
- Knit skirt with feather panels
- Floral dress
- The shoes
