The Paris Fashion Week Spring 2026 schedule is full of change, and the Louis Vuitton show, placed on day two, is just one of the handful of modifications this season. Guests like Zendaya, Lisa (of Blackpink), Léa Seydoux, Jennifer Connelly – and more flocked to the former summer apartment of Anne of Austria at the Musée du Louvre. A masterpiece of 17th-century French architecture, the setting served as a magnificent backdrop for Nicolas Ghesquière’s collection, which reimagined history and fused heritage with modernity. Models roamed beneath the decadent painted ceilings in dramatic collars teamed with structured suiting, artsy silhouettes, and billowing tailored trousers.
Review of the Louis Vuitton Spring 2026 Collection
Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:
“Horrible. So sloppy and juvenile looking. Terrible footwear (as always) and bags. Such a letdown after the stellar Cruise show. Why is he so inconsistent?” [FashionPower]
“OMG, I love Nicolas, but this is a HOT MESS. I feel speechless.” [helmutnotdead]
“Nicolas really makes the most tacky and awkward clothes for LV, doesn’t he? This is by far his worst for the brand yet.” [Magic Spells]
“That was awful. Basic, but also frumpy, with design details that scream afternoon sewing classes. MAS styling made everything worse. At this point it’s not challenging anyone’s taste, it’s just ugly.” [Avonlea]
“Awful. Gimmicky. Try-hard. Ugly. Out of touch. Heavy handed. Ridiculous at some points.” [Creative]
“Probably his weakest LV collection? Some really beautiful separates, but as a body of work, it seems much less inspired than his usual output.” [Squizree]
“I have never understood the appeal of this supremely overrated designer. This is the ugliest collection of clothes in his entire oeuvre as ‘creative director’. An eyesore from start to finish.” [mepps]
