Louis Vuitton S/S 2016
Kim Jones' key piece for spring was the satin bomber jacket, embroidered with exotic birds and fauna, which later manifested into silk pyjama dressing
Mood board: Kim Jones' key piece for spring was the satin bomber jacket, embroidered with exotic birds and fauna, which later manifested in silk pyjama dressing that echoed the same motifs in hues of red, white and blue (with a dash of Cadillac baby pink). 1950s Americana also peeped through with two-tone and open-collared bowling shirts a-plenty.
Best in show: The Louis Vuitton pyjamas: in satin, naturally. The standout was the shirt-and-shorts combo that had birds rising to greet the words 'Louis Vuitton' stitched across each side of the chest and accessorised with a matching scarf that was tucked into the model's pocket.
Finishing touches: Jones was trumpeting the scarf for spring. Branded with the house's curling font, they came neatly folded and tied around necks, hanging from pockets or lovingly looped.
