Presented at the Musée du Louvre, in the former summer apartments of Anne of Austria, Queen of France, Louis Vuitton’s Spring-Summer 2026 Collection is a celebration of the Art de Vivre. More precisely, an ode to intimacy and the boundless freedom of the private sphere.
The Collection conveys a high degree of sartorial freedom and a certain stylistic liberation. It suggests inventiveness, a subversion of the principles and functions typically associated with an “indoor” wardrobe.
The garments speak in confidence, revealing both a point of view and a manifesto of individuality. One of the many journeys of the Maison, each guided by the cardinal principle of carrying one’s own way of being, wherever one goes.
To exalt intimacy, as an exercise in intrinsic courtesy and Art de Vivre. The supreme luxury of dressing for oneself and unveiling one’s true personality.
The Spring-Summer 2026 Collection is unveiled in the summer apartments once inhabited by Anne of Austria, Queen of France and mother of Louis XIV. Here, set designer and designer Marie-Anne Derville has composed a contemporary apartment using a selection of furniture and creations from various eras, ranging from the works of artist Robert Wilson to the furniture of 18th-century master cabinetmaker Georges Jacob, to Michel Dufet’s 1930s Art Déco seating, to the sculptures of 19th-century ceramist Pierre-Adrien Dalpayrat, alongside pieces of her own design. An immersion into French taste from the 18th century to the present day.
The music, composed by Tanguy Destable, takes up the verses of This Must Be the Place by David Byrne of Talking Heads, read by Cate Blanchett.
