Louis Vuitton's new creative director, Nicolas Ghesquiere, had some big shoes to fill after the departure of Marc Jacobs.
Ghesquiere, formerly at Balenciaga, showcased his first collection for the French fashion house yesterday in Paris.
The show was less dramatised than Jacobs' usual spectacles, but the garments no less captivating.
We thought the gracious letter Ghesquiere left on each seat for all of the show guests was a lovely touch - he said, "I salute the work of Marc Jacobs, whose legacy I wholeheartedly hope to honour," and thanked his team for their support.
What do you think of Ghesquiere's Louis Vuitton debut? Let us know in the comment box below.
