Paris Fashion Week Highlights // Louis Vuitton FW15

At Louis Vuitton designer Kim Jones produced a love letter of a menswear show. He tilted, dedicated and incorporated the artist Christopher Nemeth's work into every inch of his FW15 collection.

"I think Christopher Nemeth is the most important designer to come out of London alongside 
Vivienne Westwood," said Jones in the opening sentence of the show notes for the collection.

While looking at every sartorial facet about London, from Savile Row to the street, Jones honed in on The House of Beauty and Culture: a late 80s collective and shop in Dalston, promoting beautiful bricolage and anarchic feats of creation. One of its key designers was Christopher Nemeth, an unsung hero of British fashion, who made beautiful pieces based on a make-do-and-mend attitude. The main frayed rope motif was a key artwork of Nemeth’s, with the ropes unravelled on everything.

It appeared as a jacquard on a camel peacoat, on pants and needle punched into a gray bathrobe coat. It also appeared head to toe as dots on denim and even on the dial of a Louis Vuitton wristwatch. Jones worked the bold design hard and kept his silhouettes clean and classic to accentuate Nemeth's art. from sharp tailoring to casual sweatshirts.
