As for Just Jared, he specifies for his part that all the personalities wearing Louis Vuitton at this year’s gala used outfits from the brand’s archives. No less than 14 different personalities such as Hoyeon Jung, Gemma Chan or Cynthia Erivo have thus donned outfits that have already been used at receptions, parades or social events. “It has never been more important to show that creations must be made to last“, said Nicolas Ghesquière, at a time when the fashion industry is accused of participating in the global ecological disaster.
