Louis Vuitton SS16 collection took us to Punky Town with mesh, a variety of jump suits in solids and prints seemingly inspired by different types of jackets and collars, leather shorts and vests, cut-away-shoulders, and the cutest gloves clutching onto adorable small trunk bags. I love that our pink haired muse started the show, you likely remember her from the Louis Vuitton 2016 Resort/Cruise collection. The makeup was an Asian kawaii anime inspired lower-lash placed beneath the natural lash line, which was very cute paired with the platform sandals. The palette included soft pink and lavender, mustard and blood red, as well as a touch of green and blue, but was for the most part full of black and white. There were leather jackets galore: a soft leather shirt-cuffed jacket with braided belt and cargo pockets, a very retro cool spray painted leather jacket, double breasted military inspired leather jackets, monogram and Damier contrasted leather and mustard or red stripes in these original leather jackets and vests. There was a lot of attention to detail in this hard-edged cool collection, the contrasting fabrics and textures, as well as the way seams and cut-outs were accentuated: glam-punk princess perhaps best describes it.
