Nicolas Ghesquière designer inspiration interview

Injecting new ideas to to Fall/Winter 2014-15 with his first collection as Artistic Director at Louis Vuitton, Nicolas Ghesquière reveals his designer inspiration. “I approached Louis Vuitton like a wardrobe. I think it should be really something effortless. Some clothes that are really easy to grab and wear, and when I started to work on the collection, I didn’t want it to make a strong statement or anything like that . . . I wanted to get really close to how people dress today.”
