Over recent seasons, Nicolas Ghesquière has had a select few on speed dial to lens his various different advertising campaigns for Louis Vuitton. As a result, the storied French fashion house’s most recent campaign imagery has been lensed by Ethan James Green, Glen Luchford and David Sims. Ghesquière calls upon Sims once again with the unveiling of the Spring 2024 campaign. Models Loli Bahia, Ida Heiner, Hejia Li and actress Cynthia Erivo assemble before the British photographer’s lens and pose high a top a glass-fronted building on location in Milan. The clear blue skies and Milanese backdrop make for an arresting backdrop against Ghesquière’s Parisian-inspired collection.

Read the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“I do like how bright, fresh, and clean this campaign is shaping up to be! Ghesquière’s mainline Vuitton campaigns tend to be over-complicated in terms of concepts, so the sight of something more minimal is pleasing me to no end. The coloring and lighting are both lovely, love those clear blue skies and the graphic architecture of the building,” admired vogue28.

In complete agreement was dontbeadrag, echoing: “These are good, and I neither am a fan of Louis Vuitton nor of Nicolas, but when it works – it works. Cold and sterile environment, but that sunlight and the styling just work. It is a little basic and simple, but in all the right places.”

Not everyone, however, was so forthcoming. “What a tragic campaign. David Sims is so boring, contrived and so horribly commercial. A joke!” stated 90sFan.

“Insanely cheap,” called out lookatme.

The Spring 2024 collections of just about every major fashion brand are beginning to find their way into stores across the globe – and online.

We stan ELLE France hard here on theFashionSpot, and you cannot blame us. After all, the magazine outshines the competition with an effortless ease – issue after issue, cover after cover. Malgosia Bela, Léa Seydoux and Yasmin Le Bon have graced the magazine recently and now it’s time for the celebratory ‘Spécial Mode’ issue which is bestowed upon us twice a year and is essentially the magazine’s big fashion bonanza.

Véronique Philiponnat welcomes Iselin Steiro and Saskia de Brauw as cover girls for the occasion, making the event of a dedicated fashion issue feel all that more special. The top models both pose for photographer Daniel Jackson across a duo of covers and throughout the accompanying cover story, complete with styling from Geraldine Saglio. Iselin, from Norway, poses in a leather Louis Vuitton jacket in her respective cover (below) while Saskia (from the Netherlands) dashes across the studio before Jackson’s lens wearing Prada in cover number two (after the jump).

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“It’s really giving Vogue France a run for its money! Love both covers,” admired Lax89.

“Iselin is enough for me. Amazing cover!” heralded forum member thiago.

Also very much an admirer was aracic, commenting: “Ahhh, Iselin! I love this. I must admit that I was hoping for a cover with the two of them together, but I’ll take what I can get. This takes me back to better fashion times!”

“Honestly, it’s times like these which completely restore my faith in magazines! What an absolute feast for the eyes. First, not one but two rather delightful covers (once again) from ELLE France. Then, two terrific and talented models, photographed by an equally as talented photographer. Throw Geraldine Saglio into the mix and a ‘Spécial Mode’ issue and I’m hyperventilating!” exclaimed vogue28.

Everyone loves a flashback, right? Here at theFashionSpot, ahead of us descending upon each fashion capital, we’ve been flashing it back a whole decade to the Fall 2014 season of New York, London, Milan and now Paris Fashion Week.

Just like in the other cities, the fashion landscape was a whole lot different within the French capital. Raf Simons was the creative force behind Christian Dior, Hedi Slimane was heading up Saint Laurent, Riccardo Tisci was still proving every inch his worth at Givenchy and Alexander Wang presented his third mainline collection for Balenciaga while the much-loved Phoebe Philo was still winning us over at Celine.

John Galliano’s eponymous label was a fixture on the PFW schedule (designed by Bill Gaytten), as was Haider Ackermann whose collection showcased the strength of the Colombian-born French designer’s innate design talent and impeccable skill. Anthony Vaccarello’s very own namesake creations were on full display too. The Fall 2014 season also bestowed upon us the late Karl Lagerfeld’s unforgettable supermarket spectacle at Chanel and Sarah Burton’s Alexander McQueen collection felt like a magical and mythological fairytale was coming to life before our very eyes.

You’re no doubt fully aware that here at theFashionSpt, ELLE France is a total must-have for us down at the newsstand. Issue after issue, week after week, covers with the likes of Anne Vyalitsyna, Malgosia Bela and Léa Seydoux have kept us completely entranced over recent months – and the glossy’s latest dated February 15, 2024 is no different.

The supermodels of the 90s are currently have a MAJOR resurgence within the world of fashion. We’ve got Linda Evaneglista fronting fashion publications like Zeit Magazin and V Magazine, Christy Turlington is on the cover of Perfect Magazine, Cindy Crawford is Harper’s Bazaar Singapore‘s current cover girl, Naomi Campbell made a return to the cover of British ELLE just this month and Claudia Schiffer is dialing up the sexy as the face of Versace this season. At French ELLE, Véronique Philiponnat is welcoming none other than Yasmin Le Bon as cover girl. Styled by Clare Dhelens and captured by Jan Welters wearing a Louis Vuitton jacket, the legendary English beauty is all smiles in the refreshing and invigorating cover image, for an issue dedicated to beauty for all ages.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Lovely seeing her!” exclaimed a delighted thiago the moment the cover struck.

“I love this! Very beautiful!” MON admired.

“Feels like spring is right around the corner,” voiced forum member Urban Stylin.

Mepps was also very much a fan, commenting: “She looks great, and that’s a wonderful cover portrait!”

“This is the type of cover that French ELLE does so well,” applauded tigerrouge.

“Quintessential ELLE France!” heralded vogue28 in agreement. “This cover is extremely refreshing. Completely invigorating and the sight of Yasmin Le Bon is just the icing of the cake. What an absolute treat. Always thought Yasmin was an extremely beautiful woman, and think she looks terrific here. The sight of actual skin texture and fine lines is very much-welcomed. Not a bad word I can say about this…”

You’ve no doubt heard (on umpteen occasions) that we’re huge champions and supporters of all-things ELLE France. Week after week, issue after issue, editor Véronique Philipponnat impresses us to no end and outshines the competition with an effortless ease.

Philipponnat provides us with our model fix regularly, having welcomed the likes of forum favorites Malgosia Bela, Anne Vyalitsyna, Edita Vilkeviciute and Gisele Bündchen as cover girls within the past six months. Make no mistake, however, that Philipponnat endorses homegrown talent too. The list of French talent gracing the French weekly over recent months have included everyone from Keiona and Laetitia Casta to Isabelle Adjani and Eye Haïdara.

Added to the lineup with the unveiling of the magazine’s issue dated February 8, 2024 is none other than Léa Seydoux. Shot by Camilla Akrans, the French actress is all smiles in the joyous and energetic cover image. Stylist Hortense Manga selected a striped piece from Nicolas Ghesquière’s Spring 2024 Louis Vuitton collection for Seydoux to sport in the cover image, a brand to which Léa has been brand ambassador to since 2016.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

” She looks great! It’s a beautiful and lively cover!” admired Lola701 the moment the cover struck.

“^Very much so!” replied vogue28 in complete agreement. “I love the strong sense of retro I’m getting more this too, and how inviting and energetic the cover is overall. The colors are fabulous, as is the energy, charm and infectious smile from Léa Seydoux here. Another superb cover from ELLE France!”

Welcome back to theFashionSpot’s Objects of Affection series, as part of our 1st annual Valentine’s Day Gift Guide which combines both fashion and beauty.

All our fave fashion brands are unveiling their Valentine’s Day Gift Guides ahead of the big day February 14 and we are hot in their tails to unwrap and unveil the most covetable pieces (so you don’t have to). We’ve already given you Christian Dior and now we’re into all-things Louis Vuitton – from cute heart-shaped bags in stunning hot pink Vernis leather to enchanting fragrances.

Scroll below for theFashionSpot’s curated selection from Louis Vuitton’s 2024 Valentine’s Day Gift Guide:

#1 Keep My Heart:

Made from Monogram Vernis leather, the gorgeous Keep My Heart bag with its heart-shape features a delicate removable and adjustable golden chain embellished with a LV Circle charm. The leather features the Monogram motif embossed onto the shiny surface. The Keep My Heart fits a set of keys and earbuds ($2040.00).

#2 My LV Love Earrings:

Created in honor of Valentine’s Day, the delicate and precious My LV Love earrings outline the form of a heart, the universal symbol of romance. A Monogram Flower floats in the center of a heart-shaped hoop in gold-tone metal edged with sparkling crystals. Elegant and expressive, they make an ideal token of affection for a loved one ($590.00).

#3 Alma BB:

The Alma BB handbag traces its pedigree to an Art Deco original, introduced in 1934. Signature details impart a timeless elegance to this model crafted from iconic Monogram canvas: note the golden padlock and keys, two Toron handles and smart leather key bell. Fitted with a detachable strap, this charming small bag is perfect for cross-body wear ($1760.00).

#4 Reykjavik Scarf:

The outsized, extra-long Reykjavik scarf expresses a strong identity. A giant version of the House’s famous Monogram pattern is jacquard-woven into pure, plush cashmere, accented by a Louis Vuitton Paris signature and fine fringe at the ends. Ultra-warm and a pleasure to wear, it ensures stylish comfort and protection against the cold ($995.00).

#5 Malibu Pochette:

Shiny Monogram Vernis leather and a playful colorway makes this Malibu Pochette bag pop. Finished with gold-color hardware, including the House’s tuck lock on the flap, the Malibu Pochette has a natural cowhide-leather shoulder strap that’s both adjustable and detachable. This stylish little bag fits an iPhone 14 Pro, a small wallet, keys, and earbuds ($2250.00).

#6 Spell On You LV Remix:

Passionate love is the most exciting of all games. Oscillating between sensuality and complicity, that delicious tension inspired Master Perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud to create a romantic, mischievous fragrance that becomes one with the skin. An ode to the iris pallida from Florence, its composition exalts the duality of a precious flower that symbolizes feminine seduction. The iris insinuates its violet notes into a radiant bouquet of rose and Sambac jasmine, then unfurls the force of its powdery notes within the honeyed accents of acacia flower. Evolving from carnal seduction and an intimate impression, Spell on You has a hypnotic, heady aura, like an unforgettable refrain… ($320.00).

#7 Kirigami Pochette:

The Pochette Kirigami is a 3-in-1 pouch composed of 3 individual envelopes that fit into each other like a Russian nesting doll. There is a larger pochette for everyday items like an iPad Mini, paper, lipstick, or checkbook; a medium one for a passport or keys; and a smaller one for cards or coins ($745.00).

#8 Vivienne Amour Key Holder:

Louis Vuitton’s famous Monogram-inspired mascot expresses a heartfelt message of love in the Vivienne Amour bag charm. Crafted in Plexiglas and gold-tone metal, Vivienne is depicted holding a precious heart emblazoned with the LV Initials. A fun and colorful adornment for a key ring or handbag, it makes a cherished gift for a loved one ($800.00).

#9 LV Headline Beanie:

The LV Headline beanie is a casual head-warmer that’s rich in sophistication. Knitted from pure top-grade wool, it comes adorned with ultra-fine embroidery depicting three House icons: the LV Initials and two different Monogram Flowers. A fun, distinctive way to stay warm and stylish, it’s a must-have for winter ($480.00).

#10 Zippy Coin Purse:

The Zippy Coin Purse is fashioned from Monogram Vernis embossed leather in a rich pastel colorway. The Monogram embossing and bright shiny leather are paired with an adorable enamel heart-shaped LV zip pull. Inside two large, gusseted compartments, two flat pockets, and four card slots keep things organized ($630.00).

Vogue Germany entered its banal era a number of years ago. We don’t expect the magazine to break new ground under its current direction either. Covers over recent months starring the likes of Ashley Graham, Ruby O. Fee, Kim Petras and Greta Hofer have each failed to reinstate the magazine to what it once was. The German fashion bible’s first installment for 2024 sees Peggy Gou land her very first Vogue cover, with the title’s head of editorial content Kerstin Weng welcoming the South Korean DJ and singer onto the January/February edition. In the cover photographed lensed by Misha Taylor, complete with styling from James Valeri, Peggy is dressed in a head-to-toe look from Louis Vuitton’s Spring 2024 collection.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Grey and yellow always have that February vibe when they’re used on covers, it’s like a combination of rainclouds but also the hint of spring. Other than that, it’s another cover of German Vogue that looks unfinished. It looks like a rough draft of an idea, rather than the final product,” said tigerrouge.

“They’re not trying anymore,” sighed MON.

Also quick to disapprove of the outcome was plentyofhorns: “Happy for Peggy Gou but I feel like Vogue Germany should’ve chosen a better cover photo. The white part of the dress is blending into the wall and I keep thinking her legs are cut off!”

“That cover need more text to fill the space,” ivano pointed out.

“You are 100% right,” replied vogue28 in agreement. “The art direction (as per usual with Vogue Germany) leaves a whole lot to be desired here. Admittedly, the black and pale yellow works but the basic and amateur ultimately kills the finished product.”

That’s a wrap on Menswear Paris Fashion Week‘s Fall 2024 season, and the festivities have been an absolute whirlwind since Pharrell Williams kick-started the fashion frenzy with his Wild West-inspired collection for Louis Vuitton, where his posse of cowboys helped redefine the American West. The first Givenchy collection post-Matthew M. Williams saw the brand invite guests inside the historic salons of 3 Avenue George V, where Founder Hubert de Givenchy crafted his creations in the late 50s until his retirement in 1995. The showcase setting proved to be the ultimate location to unveil the collection, with the in-house design team having been inspired by Monsieur Givenchy himself when compiling the 34-look collection. A dramatic soundtrack of Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev filled Kim Jones’ Dior Men showcase, as Jones introduced his fist full line of menswear haute couture. Balmain returned to the PFW schedule for the first time since 2020, to which Olivier Rousteing collaborated with artist Prince Gyasi to compose a collection of bright colors, polka dots and pop art-esque motifs which harked back to the 80s. Following a season in Milan, Pierpaolo Piccioli brought Valentino’s menswear offering back to Paris for the Fall 2024 season, using a specific shade of blue as his starting point and to declare the tie as the pièce de résistance of the season.

Look no further for an unfiltered take on Menswear Paris Fashion Week’s Fall 2024 season. Check out the hits and misses, all in accordance with theFashionSpot’s forum members:

HIT | Dries Van Noten

“I f*cking SCREAMED. Chic, polished, superb, wearable, fashionable, sleek, sexy, daring, and I could continue for a long time. All the rest can go home!” [helmutnotdead]

“This might be the only brand thus far this menswear season where I would wear everything!” [notfatgoddess]

“Hands down the best men’s collection. Dries really is the best designer in Paris now, if not in fashion. The clothes are just sublime, such handsome and cinematic menswear.” [disco54]

See all the looks from the Dries Van Noten Menswear Fall 2024 collection.

MISS | Acne Studios

“I’m beyond lost. What happened to this brand?” [Lola701]

“I feel that Johnny Johansson thinks he’s ahead of the curve but he’s been left way behind.” [youthinasia]

“Painful to look at. Acne went from Scandinavian cool to wannabe streetwear Palm Angels this season.” [IloveDiorHomme]

See all the looks from the Acne Studios Menswear Fall 2024 collection.

MISS | Wales Bonner

“I didn’t know thrift shops were allowed to show in Paris menswear schedule…” [jeanclaude]

“Confused as to what the intention is here. It’s all just a bit stylistically haphazard in order to cater to a wider audience, which leads this to feeling like an insincere output. Why is that crushed satin dress in here? The boots with Bermuda length shorts? Everything is at odds with each other so none of it really meshes together well.” [Cocteau Stone]

“Unfortunately, this collection just confirms my doubts regarding her work. It’s still very beautiful, beautifully made, approachable but still no identity.” [Lola701]

See all the looks from the Wales Bonner Menswear Fall 2024 collection.

HIT | Junya Watanabe

“YESSS! The Junya Watanabe that I love. No more punk sh*t.” [Kanzai]

“I willl always have a soft spot for Junya! I find this quite ambitious but still very much desirable and relatable. This is the first time in a long time that I see him doing such ambitious outerwear!” [Lola701]

“I want every single trench!” [GoldenPetals]

See all the looks from the Junya Watanabe Menswear Fall 2024 collection.

MISS | Rick Owens

“He really has become a caricature of himself…” [tricotineacetat]

“To me Rick has lost the plot long time ago, now I’m watching his shows only for the amusement.” [Olaffo]

“Remember Rick Owens around 2008? When he designed sensual, easy yet bold pieces?” [IloveDiorHomme]

See all the looks from the Rick Owens Menswear Fall 2024 collection.

HIT | Yohji Yamamoto

“Beautiful! I’m crying.” [Kanzai]

“ALL HAIL THE KING! The first stanza of the collection (1st nine looks) was perfect. Then what followed was pretty much on par with what we’ve been accustomed to by Yohji Yamamoto. The casting was incredible! Yamamoto is on the same level as Armani for me, pretty much untouchable.” [WAVES]

See all the looks from the Yohji Yamamoto Menswear Fall 2024 collection.

HIT | Homme Plissé Issey Miyake

“Always enjoy Issey Miyake.” [LadyJunon]

“The silhouettes speak for themselves. this is what happens when you focus on cutting and draping instead of costume and gimmicks. Good clothes.” [gallianostan]

See all the looks from the Homme Plissé Issey Miyake Fall 2024 collection.

MISS | Louis Vuitton

“Tacky. Pharrell should’ve just stuck to music. These tired singers/rappers/whatever should really stop venturing into fashion when their careers get stale.” [notfatgoddess]

“There is something very unauthentic and costume-y about this. It feels very much like he just texted the team: ‘hey let’s do a cowboys and Indians theme’ devoid of any of the cultural references or understanding what it actually means. Not that every collection needs to be deep and nuanced and referenced well but it feels very hollow and empty.” [Yasouss]

“My jaw dropped at seeing this! What a horrible, ill fitting pile of absolute sh** clothes. I thought Virgil Abloh couldn’t design but in comparison to Pharrell he was a couture god.” [90sFan]

See all the looks from the Louis Vuitton Menswear Fall 2024 collection.

MISS | Givenchy

“The models faces says it all.” [tourbillions]

“Jesus, there is not a single drop of masculinity here. So unsexy.” [Alquimista]

“This is what happens when there’s no designer in sight. And the designer that just left was mediocre. And the stylist they hired to style the show is untalented to the max.” [90sFan]

See all the looks from the Givenchy Menswear Fall 2024 collection.

MISS | Dior Men

“Imagine having all the budget in the world to offer absolutely nothing…” [Wolkfolk]

“The shorts, socks and ballet flat situation is tragic.” [LadyJunon]

“With all that drama, that insane budget and those grand gestures, you would expect a fitting collection…And of course we got the opposite. There’s one thing that I hate in menswear, and it’s seeing unrelatable, undesirable clothes only created for pure Drama purpose. Nobody looks good in Dior Men. Nobody will buy those pieces. Nobody is believing in this!” [Lola701]

See all the looks from the Dior Men Fall 2024 collection.

MISS | Loewe

“This isn’t for me and seems like a miss, also feels a bit like his own line, which isn’t bad, but this is Loewe.” [Yasouss]

“Love Jonathan Anderson’s Loewe but this was not it for me. From the clothes to the color palette, to the set, to the models, nothing worked for me this time.” [Ihhbl]

“This show makes me want to take another shower. The whole thing feels so seedy. I miss Jonathan Anderson’s 2015-19 era. Those were his best collections.” [LadyJunon]

See all the looks from the Loewe Menswear Fall 2024 collection.

HIT | Hermès

“Chic and elegant and wearable – that’s all I need!” [Olaffo]

“Always love Veronique Nichanian’s work! Always masculine and so ‘low luxury’. I love Hermès’ menswear and this is exactly what I want for from a luxury brand…” [Kerg]

“A truly beautiful menswear collection, just as I have come to expect from Hermès. The styling is lovely, and the fabrics are just screaming luxury, which for me reads quintessential Hermès. A massive fan of the color palette too. Easily one of my highlights of PFW!” [vogue28]

See all the looks from the Hermès Menswear Fall 2024 collection.

HIT | Balmain

“I really much prefer his menswear than womenswear! This is so good.” [tourbillions]

“I do have a soft spot for Olivier because I know he loves what he does and you can see it through the clothes. I am happy with what I see even though he can be a bit literal. I love how he finds the right balance between the stunts and fashion itself.” [thiago]

“This is actually a great collection. I think it was somehow chic, much more subtle than usual and quite multi-layered. I saw some French surrealism but also Les Zazous mixed with eastern African influences but also Les Sapeurs from Congo in the flamboyance of the mix of colors.” [Lola701]

See all the looks from the Balmain Menswear Fall 2024 collection.

MISS | Valentino

“That’s one straight- to-the-outlet shade of blue. I don’t think that Hotel Particulier was the best set to show menswear and there was a lack of energy and rhythm in the show itself. The color thing needs to stop. The collection needed a dynamic print or motif, not another tired color theme.” [Lola701]

“Where I have seen those fringe panels before? Pierpaolo Piccioli copied Phoebe Philo so literally! Shein-level of design.” [jeanclaude]

“The only good thing about this show was seeing Jeremy Young on the runway.” [Thefrenchy]

See all the looks from the Valentino Menswear Fall 2024 collection.

HIT | Paul Smith

“OMG very Dries, I love it! I always adore the Paul Smith brand to be fair, their recent collections have been pretty solid.” [Kanzai]

“These are the pants that I wish Dries showed…a roomier cut, but not excessively billowing and baggy. I can’t complain about this. Sure, Sir Paul’s not really a part of the fashion conversation these days, but his clothes are wearable, practical, stylish..enough, and safe (which isn’t a four-letter word). And, his stuff won’t break the bank, either. He gets my admiration… 100%.” [engenius]
