Picture Perfect: Louis Vuitton Series 4 Featuring Lightning from Final Fantasy XIII

Louis Vuitton S/S 2016 collection is inspired by Japanese Anime culture so it totally makes sense to have an iconic video game character to star in the latest campaign. Recently, Nicolas Ghesquière, the creative director of Louis Vuitton, has released the first few images of the series 4 campaign and they feature Lightning from Final Fantasy XIII.


It's not the first time Lightning dresses in luxury brand's clothing (previously she was dressed in Prada S/S 2012 menswear) but this is her debut as the campaign face of a brand. The clothing fit the aesthetic of the character and I really like the animation. Overall, it is a very refreshing approach and I am hoping to see more interesting crossovers (anime x fashion, comics x fashion, cartoon x fashion) in the future. Also, this is a very smart move for the brand as cosplay people do have money to spend on clothes (trust me, I have witnessed this phenomenal myself).

What do you think?
