The Louis Vuitton Fall 2013 menswear collection designed by Kim Jones is a triumph in pattern-making and luxe designs.
The lavish debut introduced a vivacious variety of tapestry prints, color-blocking and mixed material garments. Every piece was cut to perfection and Jones can give himself a big pat on the back. He has single handedly revamped the Louis Vuitton menswear department and brought the French luxury label back to its glory. The stunning showing featured robe-inspired apparel with matching print accessories, slim-fit blazers in a combination of silk sheen fabrics and luxurious patterned evening jackets with black lapels. The looks were posh and prolific.
The Louis Vuitton Fall 2013 men's collection is coherent, well-designed and borders excess and extravagance.
