Nicolas Ghesquière has been California-pilled. Over the past few years, the women’s artistic director of @louisvuitton has been going back and forth between Los Angeles and Paris. Spending so much time in the City of Angels, which the designer calls “so far away from Paris but so close in my heart at the same time,” has ushered him into a new period of creative energy. For the September issue, Ghesquiere talks to @theprophetpizza about his California lifestyle, his philosophy on newness in fashion, and his cerebral approach to celebrity dressing.
