IM Pei's Miho Museum provides backdrop for Louis Vuitton resort 2018 show
Models emerged from a forested mountain side at this year's Louis Vuitton resort show, which took place at the Miho Museum in Kyoto designed by Chinese-American architect IM Pei.
The French fashion house, headed up by Nicolas Ghesquiére, presented its Japan-inspired collection at the iconic site near Kyoto this weekend.
Ghesquiére had visited the site a few years ago and was drawn to the way Pei had integrated architecture into the mountainous terrain.
After 2016's show in the Palm Springs desert and last year's meandering catwalk around the Oscar Niemeyer museum ? the creative director wanted to introduce another landscape and chose the forested Shigaraki mountains as the backdrop for the 2018 resort collection.
"Japan is a country I know well," he said. "It was one of the first places I travelled to when I was seeking inspiration, some twenty years ago, and I've been a regular visitor ever since."
"This collection is the culmination of what Japan has given to me for a very long time."
