Some realistic styles, I think, for once!

Mind you, when I say "realistic styles" I'm referring to the skirts, maybe the tops as well, but not the hats/gloves/whatever else:

The gloves look like something hockey players wear. Meanwhile, realistic or not, since we're talking about Louis Vuitton, the prices are bound to be WAY beyond anything the average person can afford.

Hi Guys
I may be just a tad out of touch but realistic, really?
Agree absolutely about the prices though. they will be even further off this planet.
Thing is these garments are artworks really and will make whatever the market will bear.

To followup on this, two things of note:

1) It looks like the designer's menswear (but as in for men) pre-fall 2022 collection includes skirts:

2) However, the designer of this collection passed away before it was released:

Some pieces:

Not sure about the glasses, or jacket, but this seems like a simple enough style:

Holiday party? Perhaps a little "out there" for me:

I like the last one, but I imagine it will be hugely expensive. :|

The last outfit intrigues me most as I see that as something that could be worn to a formal or evening function. However, I’d replace the socks and cloddish boots with off-black nylons and black patent stiletto pumps, but, that’s just me. Meanwhile, since we’re talking Louis Vuitton, that ensemble is no doubt rather expensive.

Creative fun for the rich and famous but little application for anyone else, even going to a special event. A bit like Formula 1 racing which has little connection to public road vehicles.
