Louis Vuitton is being struck by Lightning
Since the character designer Tetsuya Nomura took the helm for Square Enix¡¯s ¡°Final Fantasy¡± series of games, his work has been surprisingly inspiring in the world of fashion ¡ª and we are not talking just cosplay (costume play). Nomura¡¯s dynamic silhouettes and neo-baroque influences are regularly seen in diluted form on the streets of Tokyo. Now, Louis Vuitton has gone one step further and enlisted ¡°Final Fantasy XIII¡± heroine Lightning as a poster girl for its spring advertising campaign.
Building on the strong manga and video-game references of the Parisian luxury brand¡¯s latest collection, Creative Director Nicolas Ghesquiere describes Lightning as ¡°the perfect avatar for a global, heroic woman, and for a world where social networks and communications are now seamlessly woven into our life.¡±
