The 2018 Louis Vuitton Cruise Collection is a beautiful marriage of modernity with natural surroundings. The garments give you strong glimpses of the Samurai, loose, comfortable yet so artistic with inked landscapes reminding you of  cult Kurusawa movies. Some with fluid movement of ancestral civilization blending to the present day. Japan came alive in the creations as it showed profound respect for the mother nature.

Showcased at the MIHO Museum designed by architect I.M Pei, this year’s cruise collection also pays tribute to designer Kansaï Yamamoto, who paved the way for an entire generation of Japanese designers by presenting his work in France with a fashion show in Paris. Yamamoto is well known for having designed most of David Bowie’s costumes. He has now created icons, symbols, and characters for Louis Vuitton bags and accessories. The caps are the work of designer Kristopher Haigh, founder of the 1K brand.
