Louis Vuitton Cruise publish Chic Lolita

The lovely sight of mannequins donned with pieces that would wow even Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn, took us onto nostalgia ride back to the Fifties, Sixties and Seventies. It reminded us how fashion could be born again yet still evolves into something more wonderful.

The representatives from the Louis Vinton press office in Paris gladly took us around, and described to us the upcoming Cruise Collection aptly named Chic Lolita. According to the primer they gave us, Chic Lolita pertains to “the young, ultra-fresh Bardot who conquered Hollywood as if La Mad ague was in Palm Springs”.

The inspiring and equally alluring Chic Lolita woman was further described: “As beautiful in a sundress as she is in a short suit and a sky-blue striped little boy shirt or high-waited trousers, or a circle skirt with organza petticoat, or Fifties strawberry-milkshake cocktail dress, the Chic Lolita is graceful to a T.

Whether she is in floral canvas ballet slippers or high-heeled sandals, this devastatingly charming Chic Lolita adores the impertinence and savoir-faire of the craftsmen behind them, and she steeps it all in sensational freshness”.

Of course, the collection would have not been complete without the accessories which by what we saw; we’d say were well-thought of. The Cruise jewels (must be worn in matching and in set) were all hand-made in sheer craftsmanship. The Panama hats and wide brimmed straw topper with LV eyelets, truly indispensible for sunny glamour, must have space in the bags if to go on board the Love Boat. The silk scarves, ballet flats and sunglasses were items not only to accompany for the summer, but to items of envy as well.

After touring the preview, we felt quite spent yet totally inspired to go on a cruise, and take on at least one or two of these romantic feminine Chic Lolita pieces in our Keep all. We thought that to travel is nice, but Chic Lolita reminded us that to travel in style is essential. So, yes, this collection was both delightful and educational. We knew how to look dainty yet glamorous when we’re off for the summer. So, we hope that you’ve been inspired too.
