Nicolas Ghesquière is set to unveil the Louis Vuitton Cruise 2027 collection on May 20, 2027, in New York City. While the exact venue remains undisclosed, Ghesquière’s choice is expected to be an architectural highlight, following a tradition of stunning locations for previous shows.
As the artistic director of women’s collections at Louis Vuitton since 2013, Ghesquière has consistently selected remarkable backdrops for the brand’s cruise presentations. Notable previous venues include the TWA Flight Center at JFK Airport in New York, which hosted the Cruise 2019 show just before its transformation into the TWA Hotel. The previous year, he opted for a vastly different ambiance, showcasing the Cruise 2026 collection at the Palais des Papes in Avignon, France, a UNESCO World Heritage site renowned for its Gothic architecture.
Over the years, Louis Vuitton’s cruise shows have taken place in various iconic locations. Previous events have been held at the Bob Hope estate in Palm Springs, California, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Niterói, Brazil, Kyoto’s Miho Museum, and the Salk Institute in San Diego. These choices reflect the brand’s commitment to merging fashion with art and architecture.
New York City continues to attract major European fashion brands, solidifying its status as a global fashion capital. In 2022, Alaïa showcased its winter-spring 2025 collection at the Guggenheim Museum, while designer Ludovic de Saint Sernin presented his fall 2024 collection in an industrial warehouse setting. Furthermore, Chanel is scheduled to unveil its first Métiers d’Art collection designed by Matthieu Blazy on December 2, 2023, also in New York.
The upcoming Cruise 2027 presentation marks another significant moment for Louis Vuitton, reinforcing its legacy of innovative and visually stunning fashion shows. As anticipation builds, details regarding the venue and collection specifics are eagerly awaited by fashion enthusiasts and industry professionals alike.
