Louis Vuitton Spring 2010

The New York bike mes­sen­ger acts as muse for the lat­est col­lec­tion from Louis Vuit­ton. Tak­ing on a ven­ture in sports­wear, designer Paul Helvers’ efforts eas­ily fall into the cat­e­gory of casual chic. Paving the way for suits dressed down in a casual man­ner – grav­i­tat­ing towards open relaxed sil­hou­ettes was a sea of navy with the occa­sional bursts of cit­rus orange or yel­low. Despite the collection’s clean sim­ple nature, footwear became a main vehi­cle of color and lux­ury, boast­ing the loud­est col­ors and ornate fin­ishes – note the sil­ver sequins. On the other hand, jew­elry and bold yel­low sun­glasses car­ried the collection’s con­cept, becom­ing the bike mes­sen­ger per­son­i­fied. Gen­er­ally, Louis Vuitton’s spring 2010 col­lec­tion tests the waters by chal­leng­ing us to find the inspi­ra­tion in every­day life. Alter­na­tively, the col­lec­tion serves as a reminder of the con­stant absur­dity of lux­ury labels turn­ing low-​​key, inex­pen­sive sources of inspi­ra­tion into a high cost aes­thetic, deserv­ing of aspi­ra­tion, but it just hap­pens to be the wicked world we sub­scribe to.
