Star-filled Louis Vuitton Show Unveils East-meets-West Streetwear in Collaboration with Kenzo

The Looks – East Meets West with Flair
The streetwear-heavy collection, a bold fusion of cultures and styles, saw cherry blossom motifs adorning embroidered varsity jackets.
Pharrell's now-signature rugged denim and flared pants were enhanced with a nod from Japanese-born Nigo in the form of traditional eastern stitching, shibori-inspired techniques, and street influences.
However, as visually dazzling as the collection was, there were occasional moments when the abundance of elements – loose Asiatic cropped pants alongside Western bombers or camo-inspired prints, for instance – felt divergent. There were, after all, two cooks working on this fashion broth.
Accessories were a highlight, with Speedy bags reimagined in new colorways – such as Sakura-pink.
