Spring has sprung and there is no better place than Louis Vuitton to set the tone for the upcoming season. In the world of luxury, familiarity with your client advisors yields rich rewards that can have a lasting impact on any LV Girl’s social calendar. That's why I was very happy indeed to receive an exclusive invitation from Mimi, my favorite LV Client Advisor at South Coast Plaza, to preview the Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2024 collections fresh from the haute couture runways of Paris Fashion Week.
VIC: By Invitation Only
Across the Atlantic, Paris buzzed with a star-studded gala, boasting Academy Award-winning celebrities like Emma Stone, Cate Blanchett, Jennifer Connelly, and Da'Vine Joy Randolph seated front row as Ghesquière unveiled his forthcoming Fall/Winter 2024 collection.
Here in West Coast climate of California cool, things are just beginning to heat up in anticipation of a fresh Spring awakening. The excitement and energy at the Orange Country LV flagship store was in full effect, as the newest RTW collections hit the sales floor featuring the latest collection of handbag trends, small leather goods, and heel-toe pumps to hit the town in a fashion forward stride.
The collection's essence lies in a contemporary, travel-ready wardrobe inviting a subtle air of feminine curiosity and playfulness, perfectly aligned with the season's trends. Mimi outfitted me in a beautiful Hooded Wrap Coat with Monogram Signature playing peekaboo with the timeless motif, showcasing the warmth of soft textures that easily adapt to seasonal changes while maintaining timeless design principles.
Pro Styling Tip
Mimi demonstrates how to keep banded waist belt from hanging lifelessly at the sides, folding the sash back over the belt loop from behind to create a simple, cinched, and fashionably chic look.
Perfect for on-the-go moments when running errands but want to maintain the ease and elegance of an open coat effect.

Street Savant
Hard edge chic meets otherworldly ethereal design featuring impeccably tailored ensembles, structured leather corsets, and gorgeous flowing gowns.
From billowing floral silhouettes to bold structured layering, Ghesquière's collection seamlessly blends modern French elegance with an eclectic sense of femininity.
Flair for the Dramatics
Highlighting a distinctly French feminine flair, the collection showcases the beauty of quiet luxury while embracing a more pronounced styling trend unafraid to make a statement.
Sheer silk patterns layered to create mesmerizing effects, graphic stripes, sophisticated motifs, and layered volumes paint a picture of quintessential Parisian fashion, incorporating vintage style codes synonymous with the historic French Maison.

The LVSS24 fashion jewelry collection is sparking up something special with new creative depths inspired by nature’s original art. Mimi drew our attention to the beautiful crystal detailing of the LV Prestige Necklace, inspired by the underwater life of coral reefs.
Giving new definition to signature style codes of LV Bling, the high shine chain pendant was perfectly set against a masterfully constructed Jewel Button Dress reminiscent of Audrey Hepburn’s iconic LBD.
La Medusa Nouveau
Indeed, what lays beneath is not always easily seen and yet plays a profound role in Ghesquière's new collection. It was perhaps the recurring motif that inspired the Visual Merchandising of the Spring Summer 2024 floor installations, reminiscent of the orange haze enveloping the original show venue at 103 Avenue Des Champs-Élysées.
Très Chic
In what almost seemed oppressive at first became a fitting canvas to honor the simple elegance of black and white details, allowing signature colors to shine forth and make bold personal statements within the collection.
For a simple and clean look that easily transitions from day to evening, Louis Vuitton is bringing Jewel Buttons to the forefront with a classic cocktail dress, pullovers, cardigans, and collared vests paired with fitted high waist pants.
Detailed Design
Among the standout pieces are reimagined Alma and Dauphine bags, embodying Parisian chic with refined, supple leather. However, the new girl on the block, the Around Me PM bag, steals the spotlight with the LV House emblem in a circular compact design.
Not to be outdone, the LV Knot Pumps feature handcrafted lambskin knots at the heel and toe, exuding twisted elegance.
Amidst the myriad of exceptional offerings, several favorites found their way onto my LV wishlist, including the adorable Side Trunk PM, the super chic Coussin BB, and the iconic Speedy Bandoulière 25 in Malletage—a testament to the French Malletier's signature iconography.
Once again, Louis Vuitton's Spring/Summer 2024 collection embodies a breath of fresh air, welcoming an era of creative renewal, enthusiastic joy, and timeless elegance. With Nicolas Ghesquière's continued tenure as the artistic director of Louis Vuitton Women's collections, his playful yet sophisticated pieces reflect a sense of fun, ease, and beauty within the empowered spirit of savoir-faire.
