These fashionized train features showcase the classical travel aesthetic that defined the fall season.
The Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 2012 runway show was a landmark in more ways than one. It brought about a return to the brand's luxury trunk DNA and was an ode to a time when exuberant decadence reigned supreme. A life-sized train entered the catwalk site and made for an ocular feast of vintage-inspired fashion. The models that strutted out were Marc Jacob's version of modernized proper ladies that sported embellished clothing oozing with opulence.
This collection was defining to the editorial season as various pieces in September, October and November 2012 paid tribute to the romanticized travel that defined the collection. This complied list showcases interpretations of classic elegance with various fashionized train features.
