First Look: Louis Vuitton Fall 2008

It appears that being late is no longer fashionable. Unlike ever other show this week, today’s Louis Vuitton show started a mere 15 minutes behind schedule. The unexpected efficiency left a few VIPs out in the cold including Dita von Teese, who arrived after the show had started and was offered a standing position–which she declined then promptly departed. (Fashion FYI: A Dior-clad Dita was spotted dining at a 1st arrondissement hot-spot with Rodarte‘s Kate and Laura Mulleavy. At the next table over sat Ginnifer Goodwin, looking especially chic in a glittering Miu Miu dress.)

Fortunately (for them and for those of us who are entertained by front-row antics) Milla Jovovich, Kayne West, Sofia Coppola, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Wes Anderson and other high-profile faces all managed to scoot in and sit down in time to see a parade of Vuitton trends unfold. Much like in Marc Jacob‘s own collection, cocoon shapes, bulbous jackets, and ballooning pants surfaced as the key silhouettes, though for Vuitton, the designer showed off more complex drapery and tailoring flourishes. Between the Devo hats, pastel furs, and a few flashy leather looks, the show gave off a distinctly ’80s vibe, but the Jacobs’ seemingly oxymoronic styles–from his stiletto platform hybrids to airy winter coats–kept the collection fresh and wholly desirable.
