A New Folklore

The twenty-first-century architecture of clothing, defined by the natural world, inspires the Fall-Winter 2026 Louis Vuitton collection by Nicolas Ghesquière. Mountains, forests, and plains converged with instinctive human reactions to and interactions with our climate and surroundings—for endurance, protection, and freedom—to become fashion. In a heightened view of that which surrounds us, the silhouettes are defined by life in nature, a language beyond any we could imagine. Today, it is necessary to reinvent this connection, reinterpreting the natural within the context of a digital world. The collection is not an escape from our realities, but an echo of them: a new folklore for the future.
