Look away for an instant and she’s gone. Just like Rome. The city responds to his approach, offering up its beauty. It becomes “energetic and dynamic, charged with a fleeting beauty, joyous — the elements of the poetry in its everyday life”.

The city’s inhabitants take precedence over its monuments. “Today,” Miles Hyman says, “I realise that the Rome Travel Book could have been called Travel Book of the Romans. I absolutely wanted to capture the daily life of the inhabitants of this enchanting city with honesty and admiration — I am tempted to say “tenderness”. Why did I want to stress the human element of the city? Because, for me, the key to the city is the striking contrast between its ephemeral life and the eternal.

Miles Hyman is an illustrator of periodicals and adapts novels — most of them detective stories. He also writes graphic novels. His drawings give the impression that he could have been a writer, with a style somewhere in between that of F. Scott Fitzgerald and Joseph Conrad, or even a film director. It can be seen in the line, in the depth of the colours.

Within the season’s selection of ready-to-wear, shoes and leather goods are pieces that showcase the savoir-faire inherent to Louis Vuitton. Distinctive surface details play out as cascades of hand-embroidered beads atop a draped bustier, delicate chains affixed to tweed by hand, and silk gazar pleating realized from four hours of workmanship.
The Cannes bags in canvas, leather and crocodile receive hand-painted treatments, while lining is fastened and hardware is placed by hand on the collection’s must-have minaudière. From start to finish, the Headline shoe with its mix of black leather, white ostrich leather and python represents multiple stages of hand-assembly – the black dots are painted one by one, for instance.

Whether through construction or ornamentation, such effort speaks to traditional techniques upheld today. And to wear or carry these pieces is to show appreciation for the contemporary art of craft.

Like a jolt of personality recognizable from afar, the new LV Stories series is easy to spot and fun to wear. Arranged across a Neverfull, Zippy wallet or Aftergame trainers, these upbeat accents bring out the extroverted side of various Louis Vuitton classics.

They introduce just the right amount of colour-infused, creative edge. Best of all, they come already affixed to the products, so the mix of motifs – including graphic LV initials, bold monogram flowers, and tattoo-inspired hearts – has been considered for maximum impact. Voguez for all to see!

As an expression of craftmanship that envelops the earlobe, the Bionic earrings signal the forward direction of Louis Vuitton under Nicolas Ghesquière. This latest pair is dynamically mismatched – the sum of two complementary designs. One piece evokes a delicate silvery wing; the other, finished in gold with a subtle LV stamp, is bordered in leaves interspersed with LV circles.

Naturalist in inspiration and striking in statement, the earrings become an extension of both body and spirit.
