The Cruise collection presentation will be held on Saturday, May 28th in an exclusive setting: the Niterói Contemporary Art Museum (MAC). A landmark building in Brazil, designed by celebrated Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer.

The iconic building, shaped like a flying saucer that looks like it has landed on the side of a hill overlooking Guanabara Bay, facing Rio, was built in 1991 and inaugurated in 1996. The white modernist structure is reflected in a pool that surrounds its cylindrical base, “like a flower”, as the famed architect described it. The Louis Vuitton Cruise presentation marks the first time the museum has ever hosted a fashion show and also serves as an occasion to celebrate the museum’s 20th anniversary and its reopening to the public following a major renovation project.

"Following the Bob and Dolores Hope estate designed by John Lautner in Palm Springs, California, we continue the architectural journey that is so particular to the Maison Louis Vuitton" explains Nicolas Ghesquière, Artistic Director of Women’s Collections at Louis Vuitton.

The Louis Vuitton Cruise show will be broadcast live on May 28th on www.louisvuitton.com. #LVCRUISE

This season, the Summer collection offers two new printed stories: "Monogram Jungle", an iconic Monogram canvas twisted with a new print inspired by Californian landscapes and its emblematic palm trees and oasis, and “Monogram Bay” with chunky oversized chain print, a statement from the Cruise 2016 show in Palm Springs. Also highlighted, is the "Monogram Vernis Jungle", a Monogram patent leather covered with dots reminding of exotic animals fur.

These new prints are available on Louis Vuitton's iconic models such as Speedy and Neverfull, as well as on accessories and shoes.

In a futuristic show scenography, set aside the Fondation Louis Vuitton, dynamic heroines graced the catwalk between mirror-columns, inspired from French artist Justin Morin’s artwork «Melted Bones».
