Leather, Fetish And Fantasy At Louis Vuitton A/W 2011

13th OF March 2011

Things got steamy at the Carre du Louvre, where Louis Vuitton showcased their A/W 2011 collection for Paris fashion week. In an exploration of all things; leather, fetish and fantasy, catwalk rebels, Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell made a fitting (and controversial) appearance.

RESCU brings you all the gloss and goss from the runway…

The Clothes

In a theatrical extravaganza, French maids, bellboys, and scantily clad models took to the runway, where creative director Marc Jacobs combined fashion and fetish! Inspiration for the collection came from Jacob’s fascination with women’s overwhelming (almost fetish-like) obsession with designer handbags!

Knee highs, leather, super-short shorts and high boots were all on display, and new variations of the infamous ‘LV’ print handbag had the front row swooning. Trenches were worn as dresses and each outfit almost look incomplete, as if the models were in the middle of getting dressed, or undressed.

The Hair And Make Up

With an out-there theme, hair and make up was kept simple and chic. Mid height, super slick ponytails were paired with stunning headbands and head pieces we just can’t get enough of. The Make Up can only be described as classic glam, with a fairly neutral base paired with a dark lined eye and nude lip.

The High Lights

Super model Kate Moss exploded onto the catwalk in a smoking display, literally! Cigarette in tow, in between puffs, she strutted her stuff in an all black ensemble with short-shorts, a leather and fur jacket, and cross over, gladiator sandal heels.
With all the stunts and drama, it was hard to focus on the clothes, but at RESCU we can’t complain – we thoroughly enjoyed it!
