“The fall-winter 2025-2026 collection pulls into a station where all emotions converge,” the show notes read at Louis Vuitton yesterday. Nicolas Ghesquière, Louis Vuitton’s creative director of womenswear since 2013, took inspiration from the concept of a bustling train station in Paris, where people are both coming and going, traveling to a far-off land and returning to the comforts of home. “At the end of the same platform is the hopefulness of love or the melancholy of separation,” the notes continue.

The French fashion house brought together its slew of A-list ambassadors, including Sophie Turner and Emma Stone, at L’Étoile du Nord, a “secret station” that once housed the headquarters of a 19th-century train company. The show venue is also conveniently located next door to one of Paris’s main train stations, Gare du Nord, adding a touch of reality to Ghesquière’s make-believe adventure. The recently renovated space, according to Louis Vuitton, “springs to life anew to tell a story about transportation and the compelling dual meaning contained in that word: adventure and enchantment.”
