Rosalía and KidSuper set the Louis Vuitton menswear show on fire
Featuring Rosalía’s exceptional musical performance and French director Michel Gondry’s set design, Virgil Abloh’s signature looks were brilliantly revamped by the label KidSuper and its designer Colm Dillane for the Louis Vuitton men’s Fall/Winter 2023-2024 show.

Despite the cold, the strike, and multiple demonstrations raging in the capital, the Paris Fashion Week was still on last Thursday, January 19th, 2023. At the heart of the Louvres’ quad, which usually hosts Louis Vuitton’s shows, the fashion house presented an extraordinary men’s Fall/Winter 2023-2024 show, during which superstar Rosalía delivered a breathtaking performance, especially since the Spanish singer rarely performs in France. To hits like Candy, Saoko, and De Plata, the French trunk maker opened a new chapter in its history with the first men’s show produced by its studio in collaboration with KidSuper, the label which won the LVMH – Karl Lagerfeld prize in 2021.
Co-created with the label KidSuper and its founder, the designer and painter Colm Dillane, the silhouettes of the Louis Vuitton men’s Fall/Winter 2023-2024 collection were displayed in a set designed by French director Michel Gondry. Combining their poetic and oneiric worlds, the two artists followed in the footsteps of the house’s late artistic director Virgil Abloh. In that intimate setting recreating a teenager’s bedroom, the models performed playlets wearing both formal clothes declined in different shades of grey and extravagant streetwear creations decorated with surrealist patterns, trompe-l’oeil, and colorful paintings designed by KidSuper. A great show that evoked the power of imagination and recalled the boundless creativity at the core of Louis Vuitton. By the end of the show, one question remained on everyone’s lips: who will take over the artistic direction of the men’s collections after Virgil Abloh?
