There\u2019s a line in the Arcade Fire song \u2018Reflektor\u2019\u2014the tune Nicholas Ghesqui\u00e8re<\/a> picked to set his space age-inspired Cruise \u201922 show for Louis Vuitton<\/a> to\u2014that perfectly summarises how the last year has felt. \u201cIt\u2019s just a reflection, of a reflection, of a reflection, of a reflection\u2026\u201d After all, what was 15 months of lockdown if not a perpetual hall of mirrors? Our Instagram feeds were full of fashion imagery taken over Zoom, and screens become our only portals into some semblance of reality.<\/p>\n

Ghesqui\u00e8re clearly wanted to escape our new uncanny valley-style sense of realism with his latest collection. Louis Vuitton\u2019s annual<\/a> Cruise shows are legendary, taking place in cascading architectural spaces<\/a> like the Niter\u00f3i Contemporary Art Museum in Rio de Jainero and the Miho Museum in Kyoto. How to stage a show dedicated to the art of travel at a moment where all global travel is restricted? Easy, says Nicolas: create clothes for space travel.<\/p>\n
