Louis Vuitton Pre-Fall 2023 is Vintage Meets Contemporary

"Neither quite the same, nor completely different..."

Louis Vuitton Twist Pre Fall 23 1

Over the weekend, Louis Vuitton held its Pre-Fall 2023 show in Seoul, and it was a star-studded event packed with friends of the House, brand ambassadors, influencers, and celebs. A show-stopping location, the show was held on Seoul’s Jamsugyo Bridge and featured a set design by Hwang Dong-Hyuk, the director of Squid Game. The collection itself is described as “a tale of to and fro,” and the show is a quintessential representation of that. It’s all about the Maison’s creative flow throughout the years, how the past becomes and present and vice versa. Creativity flows throughout generations, and Louis Vuitton’s foundation in travel and savoir-faire is everpresent here.

Classic Meets Modern

Nicolas Ghesquiere continues to explore Louis Vuitton’s rich history through his distinct, contemporary lens. This collection is an eclectic mix of textures, colors, and aesthetics. It feels creative and fresh, yet inherently Louis Vuitton. The Maison’s most emblematic motifs are fused with modernity, like classic monogram, which appears on carry-over pieces and new bags, like a slouchy mini tote and a micro Noé. Meanwhile, Epi leather stole the show, with models toting classics like the Alma and Speedy, in colors from the archives like royal blue, deep red, and sunshine yellow. New classics like the Twist and the Petite Malle also appeared on the runway in neutral tones, juxtaposing Epi leather’s vibrant hues.

I LVoe they’re doing more bags in Epi.

SlurmLoco

So stoked to see the epi back in a big way.

Canuck85

I’m a huge fan of Epi, would love to see some more colors and shapes.

Susan

And sizes.

daveloeweyou

Some bags remind me Loewe Hammock nugget, Goya puffer even Puzzle silhouettes. By the other hand, the new Almas and Speedys are so cute!!

Gayle

The atlantis one handle bag looks like the one from bottega veneta clutch bag i think i forgot what they called it

Samantha

The bucket bags are cute!

Lori

The little LV Paris bags are so cute.

Ming

Would be better without Seoul. It’s an interesting design but doesn’t speak to me. Overall it’s nice to see Epi bags. Glad I have a few of them. 🤣

LivingInLA

What do you mean “it would be better without Seoul”?

Georgia Gal

Do you mean the Paris street-sign bags in green and blue?

Hervé

These are modeled after the small leather tabs of trunk drawers. They are fun!

FashionableLena

The puffy Twist reminds me of my Tory Burch Kira.

JojoLAPIN

It’s not a Twist, it’s a GO-14.

Passerine

Hope to see the quilted Alma in person. Not such a fan of the supersized Almas. The little barrel bag could be an alternative to the Petite Malle, esp as it looks big enough to hold a decent sized smartphone.

Susan

Yes. Why are they so huge??

Yellowflowr

Carrying a backpack by the top handle is the best case for a mini size I’ve seen so far. #ShortPersonProblems

Slim

So happy, I still have my Epi Noe in red and looks fabulous, almost new!

Sharon Olubunmi Daniels

I melted at the sight of the Alma in yellow! what a stunning bag. it stole the show for me!

Lita

Do you guys think that’s a Speedy 40?

Hervé

It looks like it.

Seriously?? There is perhaps one brand new shape in Epi leather — the slouchy hobo that looks like a take on the Hermes picotin. Others are old or slightly rehashed silhouettes. Sad that this is being billed as a “new” epi usage.

Gina Lee Kister

Love Love LOVE!

B. Fox

Is that another large Monogram Atlantis?

Velvet Blackmon

I love the fashions

Corylynn

Love the metallic LV, love the pastel Goyard colors but the bamboo Gucci handles always hurt my shoulders. Sad because they’re great looking & very Gucci symbolic. & I dont do handheld.

ruth

I like the pre fall bag number 18
