Many know Nicolas Ghesquière for his groundbreaking trends that have continuously defined the fashion world for a plethora of seasons. Meshing sportswear, tailoring, and shapes cut with couture-like precision, Ghesquière is a figure that is difficult to ignore. After severing ties with Balenciaga last year, there was much speculation about the direction Nicolas Ghesquière was going to go. The wait, however, is finally over. As of Monday, November 4th, Nicolas Ghesquière is the new women’s design director at the iconic home of Louis Vuitton, replacing Marc Jacobs, who parted from the company only a month ago.
At the powerhouse that is Louis Vuitton, Ghesquière will be the artistic director of women’s wear, as well as the head supervisor over all advertising campaigns.
Nicolas’s first show with Louis Vuitton will be the much anticipated autumn 2014 collection. Until then, he refuses to give any interviews or hints about the direction he plans to take.

So who exactly is Nicolas Ghesquière? He is a man with a humble childhood. Born and raised in France, with a father that was a swimming coach and a golf course manager, Nicolas found himself focusing on the attire roaming on said golf course. In 1990, Ghesquière worked with Jean Paul Gaultier to perfect the “aesthetic of mixing.” A handful of years later, Ghesquière was hired by Balenciaga to design innovative golf wear. Creating intriguing combinations and in turn gaining the admiration of many, Nicolas took the fashion world by storm and has not stopped since.
Many are eagerly anticipating how Nicolas will show his personal style through his creations all whilst staying true to Louis Vuitton’s iconic design aesthetic.
