All aboard the Louis Vuitton voyage! The next destination? The new Fall/Winter 2025-2026 collection. 

Louis Vuitton’s Grand Railway Affair

1 / 10

Situated at a hidden station, L’Étoile du Nord, adjacent to one of the seven major railway stations in Paris, Gare du Nord, this collection explores the very essence of travel (a reference near and dear to the house’s heart).

Artistic director Nicolas Ghesquière drew inspiration from the emotional experiences associated with the highs and lows of train stations: the farewells, the stress of missing your train, the anticipation of a new destination, and the comfort of returning home. Consequently, the collection is imbued with these adventures, becoming the foundation of the stylistic discourse.  

As one would expect, travel accessories are prominent and creatively reimagined on the catwalk—soft-sided bags, guitar cases, fanny packs, and briefcases all create an ease of travelling in style. Yet, the looks exceed the typical style spotted on the train platform. It playfully showcases all the different traveller characters, ranging from the one who wears too many layers because they can’t fit it all in their suitcase to a lighter look with silk maxi dresses. Each offers unique insight into the duality of a modern woman in motion. 

The collection concludes with a conductor-style look (hat included) in which a gothic streetlight fixture is held instead of a handbag, bidding farewell to the train’s scheduled departure. Bon voyage!
